Fun Fact :- Loki And Spiderman never Met In MCU

[@billybobjoe1335]

I am pretty sure Hank Pym’s role was reduced due to his character history. He is known for his mental instability (that’s partly why Ultron is a villain), and for hitting his wife.

[@JamailvanWestering]

Hank’s role was reduced because Hank is a pacifist at heart who doesn’t really like fighting but Studios isn’t creative enough to write a decent story that sometimes you have to do something that might go against your morality

[@stevegallo8483]

How about Ultron's origin? That was a major one! In the MCU he was created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, but in the comic books Hank Pym created him. Vision's origin could be on the list as well, since in the comic books his brainwave patterns are based on those of Simon Williams aka Wonder Man who has yet to be introduced in the MCU. In the MCU, Jarvis (Tony Stark's AI assistant) is the brain of Vision.

[@Blueon123]

In the original comics he also had the body of the original human torch Who was dismantled and reassembled By Ultron to create The body of vision

[@The_Windows_95]

You can make the argument that Red Skull ended up stranded on Vormir as a result of his interaction with the Tesseract (aka the Space Stone, which can be used for teleportarion as seen in Infinity War & Endgame) back in Captain America: The First Avenger. We don't see him die, all we see is the Tesseract doing something to him (possibly teleporting him to Vormir and stranding him there)

[@Phanthief95]

Other major changes: - Hela is Odin’s daughter & Fenrir is her pet (In the comics as well as in Norse mythology Hela & Fenrir are 2 of Loki’s children) - Ego is Star-Lord’s father (In the comics, Quill’s father is J’son, the king of the planet of Spartax, which is subtly referenced with Peter Quill’s middle name Jason) - Taskmaster is the brainwashed daughter of the creator of the Red Room (In the comics, Taskmaster is a mercenary by the name of Tony Masters who is hired by various criminal organizations to take down heroes) - Carol Danvers getting her powers from the Tesseract (In the comics, Carol got her powers after being exposed to a device known as the Psyche Magnitron, which fused her human DNA with Kree DNA)

[@flex97]

Tony telling the world that he is Iron man was big. He pretended that he was the body guard in the comics.

[@nancyjay790]

I could be wrong, but I heard that originally, that "bodyguard" ploy was the plan for Iron Man, but Robert Downey Jr improv-ed the whole, "I am Iron Man," and the choice to go that way stuck.

[@FunnyHaHa420]

there was a nod to the original Thanos story during the after credits of The Avengers. The skull guy says to Thanos: "Humans. They are not the cowering wretches we were promised. They stand. They are unruly, and therefore cannot be ruled. To challenge them is to court...Death."

Yeah I heard about thanos's motivation in the comics I'd say the change adds more complexity rather than just "I'm impressing someone"

[@sigmaofOz]

Thats really vague. Whoever told you that doesnt know a lot about Thanos and how complex his relationship is. Death has manipulated and controlled Thanos even when he was a little kid. Thanos' motivation and greed overpowered his sense to impress someone, his motivation is power compared to love in the infinity gauntlet. He sensed the feeling of boredom of not being able to be defeated during his fights, Thanos stood like a badass after taking hits from Odin and isnt afraid of gods, he will find anything to get power. Its power, his love for mistress death is complex, he actually respects his fellow enemies and even let one kiss mistress death and lead him to the afterlife. Thanos was manipulated from his childhood by the person he loved, and made him into a psychopath in the first place. Thanos will always believe that he can do better, even better than his future self who killed gods and enslaved the Hulk like a slave.

The characters and storyline they really change it way too much and way to forceful especially the CW The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl tv series, and Batman v Superman movie. And that’s why people like me and others hate the DC films and especially the CW DC tv series so much that the rating of the shows are going down really fast immediately and people like me and others stop watching it.

How about Spider-Man? His entire supporting cast are different characters (and I don't mean just racially). In the comics MJ was a super hot party girl who became a top model. Flash Thompson was a dumb jock and a bully. Ned Leeds was an adult reporter who worked for the Daily Bugle. Aunt May was a very elderly woman, and so on. Also the villains were quite different in the comics. Vulture was an old man who was an inventor and a career criminal, and he was definitely not Liz Allen's father. Mysterio was a Hollywood special effects artist turned criminal, not an ex-employee of Tony Stark. And speaking of Tony Stark, he was not Peter Parker's superhero mentor in the comics. Peter Parker was a self-made hero who created his own costume and web-shooters, and who basically learned superheroing through trial and error. And that's all just off the top of my head.

[@Weirdman20]

Plus, Peter was a *BIG* fan of Captain America in the comics, and Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Not sure why they didn't stick with that angle? What? A boy who looks up to an awesome American hero isn't cool, but a cocky, alcoholic drunkard is much better? Then, even in the Ultimate Universe, Tony just let Pete do whatever he wanted; even Tony admitted that he was *not* meant for a mentor type relationship.

Regarding #6, I think part of it has to do with how long it took for an Ant-Man film to be made. If it was part of Phase 1, Marvel Studios may have decided to cast a young Hank Pym in his Ant-Man years. Instead they had to wait til the end of Phase 2 to release the film and with how established the MCU had already become by then, they might've thought it was better to focus on Scott Lang and have Hank be in a mentor role instead.

Gave you a look into what a fully drunk Iron Man would look like and I have to agree with the change as well especially since RDJ just came off of that it would be weird to just go from that experience into another character who then goes back into that you know what I mean? it would be somewhat counterproductive if you think about it.

[@ittaiturner9422]

There is taskmaster also!

[@mlggamer5296]

Bear in mind mandarins change I saw that long after Iron Man armored Adventures came out so I knew who he was supposed to be and I still was disappointed

[@DonDeLem]

Was hoping to see the TVA mentioned since it wasn't created by a Kang variant in the comics

[@zLumy04PH]

there is someone mention on the scenes in thor movie about donald blake like written at the nametag

Top Ten Heroes Created By The Villain

[@totallyjustgaming3548]

and Loki overall lead to my my drinking problem (throws water in face)

[@rayshoup5334]

My favorite change was making falcon’s redwing a drone. Great way to modernize a companion hero

[@crash777burn]

One major change deals with Professor/Merged Hulk. In the comics, the Professor/Merged Hulk is the Savage Green, the Grey Hulk, and Banner. in the MCU, there is no introduction of the Grey Hulk. You have Banner getting control of the Hulk. Professor/Merged had a mean streak to him because the Grey Hulk had a sinister edge. WIthout the Grey, MCU is giving the fans Banner Hulk (from Incredible Hulk 272-296), and calling him Professor.

Never forget that Thanos created and introduced three years after Darkseid (from DC).

[@stevegallo8483]

Both created by the legend Jack Kirby.

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

@@stevegallo8483 Jack Kirby didn't created Thanos, it was someone else back in 1973.

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Thanos was created by Jim Starlin in 1973's The Invincible Iron Man #55.

[@itsmajgc6158]

Old Thanos had a farm!! E-I-E-I-O

1# Captain Marvel is boring compare to her Comic counterpart.

[@claycowan1989]

A lot of people think Thanos' reason in the comics for killing half the universe is ridiculous. But if you think about how desperate us guys are to get laid and would anything to do it, killing half the universe for love is a lot more realistic than you think.

[@sadicide222]

In earth 1610 in marvel comics, which is what the mcu is based off of, i mean like compare both hawkeyes, not too much of a difference. get your facts right? lol

[@CaptainCretaceous91]

IDC what anyone would say, if I were in charge of the MCU, I would have made all the movies and characters as comic accurate as possible, especially the brightly colored costumes

[@trexadvent4726]

Are we going to see more things different from the Comics in the MCU?

[@JamailvanWestering]

Pretty much it’s not like Feige ever cared to begin with

[@46sn29]

Honorable mentions. 1. Power Levels - The power levels of some heroes are altered in the MCU. Thor, Hulk, and especially Drax are nerfed in the MCU. Wanda was also nerfed but they finally rectified that with endgame and Wandavision. Carol Danvers is buffed in the MCU compared to her comic book counterpart. Comicbook Carol can't take a headbutt from Thanos,with or without the infinity gauntlet, and simply smirk back. Her ass would be laid out like everyone else. 2. Genderswaps - Taskmaster, Ancient One, Ghost, and Mar-vell are all men in the comics.

I disagree with the Hank Pym opinion, I think that Scott Lang was absolutely the better choice for the MCU.
