That said, Marvel's films have been setting box office records, so it only makes sense for the comics to follow suit, as difficult as that may be for long time fans. |

It's like saying Han didn't shoot first. Only pretend Lucas did something like that with every SW character. Now Han was always a hero. Luke was raised a Jedi. And so on. Once the popularity dwindles again (like comix have dropped since the late 90's) you lose the popularity factor plus your base. |
Continuity is always in flux due to the volume of material and sliding time scale, and fans don't care about it as much as they claim to. It compares more to something like Doctor Who than Star Wars.

that would be AWESOME! Ant Man pops up at about 5:50-ish http://screen.yahoo.com/superhero-party-000000500.html |
Sorry, I'm compulsed to - it's Van Dyne, not Van Dyke, and J.A.R.V.I.S. is voiced by Paul Bettany, not Jude Law.
Carry on. |

Stark is huge so I can see why they would go that route. The mandarin and IM3 is really the only thing that has pissed me off. Comic books are much different now than when I collected. Storys change when they come to film. Nothing new. But don't shit all over characters that have been around for 40 years. |

Trying to restructure the continuity was like cutting cap space on a SB team... |

That would be me. I'm a huge fan of superhero movies, but I'm never going to pick up a superhero comic book. |

The fanboy contingent only amounts to a fraction of the people who ultimately see these films. People who've read every comic drive me nuts! It's an entirely different medium. There will ALWAYS be deviations from the source material. Most of the time they're so minute the vitriol that follows is laughable. I wasn't a comicbook reader, but for the past five years I've been a die-hard of the Superhero genre. These films are made for the AVERAGE moviegoer who likely knows very little about the history of these characters. |

They are the ones that buy all the collectible toys, tshirts, posters, replicas that are sold with the movies. They generate the extra revenue, they are the ones that buy the dvd, uncut dvd or collectors edition. Just like when you hear people that read books that are made into movies telling you how much better the book story was. It is the same with comic books. Those people do not get harped on as much. People just like harass comic fans. My favorite thing is a dude I know that hates how all movies seem to be comic movies and he wants back to how it was. Forget the fact that Sin City is his favorite movie or he loves robocop and terminator. Mind boggling. |
