What's One Thing you wish the MCU had more of?

[BoredGuy]

What [minor, nitpicky] things do you wish the MCU would improve?

I'll start:

Foreign/Alien Languages

I know a lot of people disliked Thor The Dark World giving the Dark Elves their own language, but I think that was just one of many problems that movie and those villains had. It feels like its straining credulity a bit to assume that every alien in the galaxy has a universal translator on. (Plus, if Earth/Terra/C-53 hasn't had any interaction with the rest of the galaxy, why do the translators all have English output?). That Drax and the other prisoners in the Kiln were all allowed to keep their translators seems a bit odd, and how come Groot doesn't get one? Everyone else just has to learn Groot for him??

And this isn't to mention Wakandans and Sokovians (and soon Tlalocans) speaking English to one another in private...

So what small thing would you like more of??

 

[psylockolussus]

Being serious. I feel like a lot of their movies added jokes/humour for the sake of it, it just feels very forced and inorganic.

 

[Detective Conan]

Gravitas.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

More Russo Brothers.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

More mutants.

 

[Originalavenger]

Spider-Man officially 100% in the MCU!!!

 

[psylockolussus]

More mutants.

There would have been more mutants now, if only Marvel Studios had the rights from the beginning. There aren't suddenly gonna set aside their old plans and faXt track the X-Men, the moment Disney bought FoX.

Lots of mutants would appear eventually. Thats like obvious.

 

[Boom]

The Hulk.

 

[Originalavenger]

Hey boom!! There’s a rumor going around that universal distribution rights expire n June of 2023!! If that’s true we WILL get more hulk!!

 

[Batgirl0202]

Definitely agree that Marvel needs to own the rights to all their characters - no more of this sharing rights BS

 

[Originalavenger]

The only film studio who seems to get all the characters correct….drum roll please…wait for it….is DISEY/MARVEL!! (Mic drop)

[psylockolussus]

Maddysin.

I like the idea of adding other languages too.

But I'd say more emotional stakes.

I wish they would have more non-American superheroes that come from real places. Sometimes the MCU feels like it's just America surrounded by a bunch of fictional realms.

Black Widow was technically our first non-American character from a real place, but she never really acted or sounded Russian and she grew up in a (fake) American family before being sent off to train in a global spy organization.

Shang Chi is the first to really feature a character from a real country that isn't America...but even then, Shang Chi still spent ten years living in America and his mom came from a fictional realm, which got the most focus in the movie.

I was so disappointed when it turned out our (seemingly) first British MCU hero was actually just a fake persona created by an American persona...

Like you know how we have so many heroes who were just normal Americans living their lives until one day they became a superhero? We don't have any of those kinds of situations with people who live in other countries. Does this kind of stuff even happen in other countries? We have no solid context about it.

 

[psylockolussus]

Would be cool if she suddenly appeared in Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts.

Peggy Carter was British. Got her own tv show and everything (admittedly, set in America...).

 

[Iceman]

Definitely

Such a shame she didn't get another chance after TIH, but would be stoked for her to come back.

 

[psylockolussus]

Definitely

Such a shame she didn't get another chance after TIH, but would be stoked for her to come back.

With almost every important character returning from TIH.

It feels wrong like that they leaving out the only female character in the cast. So I hope Kevin Feige has plans for Ms. Ross.

Not a superhero though, except the alternate universe version that was used as cannon fodder.

 

[psylockolussus]

Peggy has overstayed in the MCU.

 

[Iceman]

Maybe Captain Carter will be a thing one day.

 

[Bayne]

She's no less of one than Widow and Hawkeye.

 

[Mr. Peanut]

She's no less of one than Widow and Hawkeye.

I would say Black Widow and Hawkeye only really became superheroes when they joined the Avengers and started using their exceptional abilities to protect the general public from threats on a consistent basis. Before that they were just government agents.

I haven't watched the Agent Carter series, but what does she do in that series that makes her qualify as a superhero?
