#VultureWasRight #MCU #Marvel - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Vulture: I just want to provide for my family.
Spider-Man: I missed the part where that's my problem.
Ew
I will never stop loving that Keaton went from Batman to Birdman to Vulture (to Batman again).
Haha agreed. Birdman was good stuff
When you realized that the Vulture could've ratted Peter Parker out to the world before Mysterio did.
But he didn't cause he wasn't trying to get recognition or fame, he was a blue collar worker and understood that, he also understood Peter was a kid.
@@tobiaslawrence8928not to mention.. Peter saved his life
Mind blowing 🤯
We realized that when we seen the movie with vulture in the first place. Are you high?
when you realized that there is water in the ocean.
Toomes did NOT get fired. He took out extra loans to pay for equipment in order to do a salvage job he was contracted. Then he lost the salvage job due to legislation. At worst, he should have been legally able to sue the state/city government to reimburse him for losses since they gave him a salvage job and then took it away.
100%
He can’t sue. His contract with the government would allow them to nullify the contract at any time. That’s standard.
And risk losing even more money on court and lawyer fees? The chance of winning his case is low, considering who he's suing.
Keaton was *brilliant* as Toombs.
Like Zemo and Killmonger, you really get why he is doing what he's doing. The motivations are clear and believable. He's just turned it up to 11.
Keaton really gets into it, and it's great. The nuances of his performance in the opening scene where Damage Control comes in to take over absolutely makes it. His "face acting" during his line, "I bought trucks for this job. I brought in a whole new crew, these guys have family. I have family." is great.
Exact same on our earth, theres enough technology and resources to feed, clothe, heal and shelter everyone yet the greed of the few wins.
Vulture is the most underrated MCU villain. I’d argue that he’s only behind thanos
Underrated yes. I’d argue he’s equal to or a little less than Killmonger though. They’re both really great villains. Out of all the villains the MCU should not ever kill and should reuse, those two are at the top of my list.
Not quite
Baron Zemo is my favorite. Very underated as well.
Thanos wasn't a great villain though. He was cliche and had a misplaced god complex.
@@HypocritesExposd I wish Vulture was in Thunderbolts, fuck Sony, and fuck Avi Arad and fuck Amy Pascal for screwing over Vulture. Pascal and Arad arent even real adults.
I'm confused. At first, Ryan admits that Tony and the rest of the Avengers couldn't do more for the world because they are just one team and have to look at the big picture so that the planet Earth can continue even existing. Several minutes later he says, no they should have done more. So which is it? You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Vulture: The Avengers are Friggin Hypocrites!
X-Men: First Time huh?
🤣
@theoutlawking9123, to be fair, I dont blame Ms.Marvel (Carol Danvers) if she is part of that Avengers hypocrisy cause she has a right to be resentful of the X-men for them being forgiving towards Mystique
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 Yeah, the X-Men constantly forgiving their enemies always leads to their downfall, it honestly makes them look really stupid, like Amazingly so.
I read that in Keaton voice
@@theoutlawking9123 If they never forgave Magneto, then mutants could've gone extinct. He played a big role in defending Kitty and Wolverine from the sentinels.
90% of marvel heros are reactive not proactive
Remember Ryan, “Utopia” translated from original Greek mean “No place” or “No Where.” Which is why the Celestial head is called “Knowhere” which is the closest thing to an Utopia that Marvel has.
Excellent note. More meant it would never exist.
Utopia is right off the coast of San Fran in Marvel.
@changingthelawsofphysics a e I o u and sometime y
Utopia would be possible, if humans weren't human.
@@MontgomeryWenisBut that Utopia could never have anyone living there...
In Sam Wilson's "do better" speech, his loan being denied, and him getting recognition for Isaiah Bradley shows he's moving towards those steps along with Spiderman in "helping the little guy" and "friendly neighborhood Spiderman"
What you were saying about the villains getting their hands on supersoldier syrum and possibly multiverse quantum tech reminded me of the end of batman begins with gordon’s lines of “what about escalation? We carry semi automatics they buy automatics. We start wearing kevlar, they start wearing armor pissing rounds.”
"they start using armor PIERCING rounds"...
Oh sorry. It’s kind of hard to hear with garry oldmen’s british and american accent.
This was such a great video, probably one of SC's best in a long time tbh. You can definitely always tell when a vid is written by Pavel T, always so well written with a good understanding of the sociological factors that make superhero stories interesting for mature audiences, incorporating analysis that manages to synthesize reasonable support for the video's central thesis and actually justifies the title of the video that could've otherwise be seen as controversial/clickbait. TL;DR, well done!!
This perspective adds a lot to MCU spiderman's story arc, the trilogy ending, and I'm looking forward to what they can do with it. It puts a lot more weight on the decisions Peter made in the home trilogy (declining to be an avenger, leaving MJ & Ned alone post memory wipe, live in the crumby apartment on his own but still fight crime/corruption). We really went on the hero journey with him and saw him offered great resource to eventually turn it down to unthankfully stop crime after he realizes the weight of the loss and in real day to day what the weight of the responsibility is (not just the philosophy of it). He had access to magic spells, super tech, secret spy organizations, and high profile people. Not saying he took the journey without temptation but it was a really human story. We grow up with him and see him become "the best of us".
A Dark Avengers movie leading to an Avengers team up movie sounds like a great way to set the team up before Secret Wars.
Alternatively, Adrian Toomes could have sued because he would have had contracts signed to do the cleanup.
Good point, but like in our world, I could see an out of court, hush money settlement ending the discussion quickly. Toomes would have used those funds to recuperate his business losses but the result would have been similar. If he was a heartless industrialist (which his character certainly is not), then he would have cut his losses and moved on. He seemed to care for his crew on a more personal level than that, and I could see him using the funds as well as the alien tech to better their lives anyway. Toomes is the ultimate anti-hero.
@@troyhanson8639 I like your plan! Would have made a cooler story, too :-)
@@MarcSadowski That would mean spending more money that he didn't even have on court and lawyer fees. After spending a lot of money, his chances of winning the lawsuit was slim considering who he was going up against.
We really need to do Sinister Six with Michael Keaton’s Vulture. Just saying.
Faxx
The Sinister Six is probably one of the things I most want in live action.
Vulture, Green Goblin, Mysterio, Venom, the Kingpin, and Ned... the Hobgoblin. 🤔
As long as Sony doesn't have creative control.
@@mrschwartzmci was about to say this exact thing.
Tony is a philanthropist who funded a boatload of R&D at MIT. Surely that would result in some betterment.
The rest of the Avengers don't have that kind of money, what do you expect them to do? Soup kitchens?
Cap did all of those PSA's for high schools. Spidey made public appearances for community charity.
Other real life multi-billionaires do the same thing today, except Musk who just likes to blast off rockets - which aren't even electric.
Now they are 3 person in universe who right,
1) Thanos,
2) Baron Zemo
3) Adrian Toomes
This is the perfect lead in for several X-men villians, Master Mold, Nimrod, Bastion ect ect all based off Ultron
vulture really was among the better marvel villains
Sam is broke asf! He couldn't pay for his family's boat
the single most unbelievable part of that movie...just the Marketing and IP rights of his superhero persona would have made him an eye wateringly wealthy man...not to mention he works pretty much full time for one of the worlds Richest men.
@@johntowers1213Two things the guys was on the run for two years and he was blipped that take a lot of money from ya
@@reginesaguin1191 he was an eye witness and combatant in Endgame where the Avengers fought off and ultimately beat Thanos...within 1 day of him being unbliped he'd have a book deal advance and a list of paid speaking engagements as long as your arm to fill in any holes in his accounts...
its easier to believe his flight suit actually works than accept he couldn't afford to fix up a broken fishing boat using his name recognition alone.. there is a an ice cream flavor using his super hero IP for heavens sake...
@@johntowers1213 I learned the hard way that you can't do any of those things if you have a security clearance, which Sam and an Air force officer and a U.S. Agent would have had to contend with. and then I learned that even if you leave service, they are security clauses you can't escape.
@@dellytancyl524 dude if Ex presidents can write tell all books and go on speaking tours with their clearance so could the Falcon...Hell Hillary Clinton was charging $650,000 a time for her speaking Engagements..its just dumb lazy writing that's all it is.... there simply is no defending it
It seemed like the Avengers were busting low level hydra bases right before Age of Ultron, they were looking for Lokis schepter after SHIELD fell. Tony says "We can bust drug dealers all day king but that up there, thats the end game."
This is the reason why Wilson Fisk is allowed to continue extorting and destroying lives, the heroes have too much "faith in the system" and refuse to see that they're not really changing anything because they refuse to take the next step. As long as they continue to be passive, criminals will always have a leg up on them in the long run.
Out of the box refreshing videos like these is why I watch your channel Ryan
In quantumania they talk about using Pym tech to solve world food problems and energy crisis.
The Avengers don't defend the earth and humanity, I mean it sure looks like they do, but more than that, they defend the status quo. It's almost always the antagonist who try to change things in a fundamental way. The only exception to this rule I've found is Captain America when he decides not to salvage anything left of SHEILD but demolish it completely in the Winter Soldier movie, my favorite solo outing in the MCU.
And btw the Dark Avengers are more like the heroes of Vought Industries from The Boys
Mission accomplished. I am all aboard the Vulture train.
At least Peter now has to deal with rent.
Hopefully, Disney can get Vulture out of the Sony's Spiderman Centered Universe.
I mean if you need even more evidence that Vulture was right about rich people (Aka Tony) look to the ending (and I KNOW most of this was for plot and or filming conveniences, I'm just saying how it speaks to the character in the context of the story) Tony is AWARE someone is stealing his tech and using it to make weapons to distribute to criminals in a major metropolitan city, this has happened multiple times and he can't even be BOTHERED to have ANYONE or ANYTHING substantial guard his shipment of tech, a good portion of it is created by HIM! To the point a kid has basically step in and do what TONY SHOULD BE DOING, and in the end the guy can't even say a thank you, just tries to placate Peter with a new suit?
To me, one strange aspect of these Marvel movies is that the societal questioning and status quo challenges usualy comes from the villains. It's not hard to see something like this in the plot of these movies: "Oh, they were in the right path, it's a shame that some individuals got corrupted by selfish reasons in the process. Anyways, let's stick with what we were doing and hope things workout whithout, at least, having some meaningful and impactiful changes to the world. Thanks Avengers for getting rid of this villains!". It's like it's easier to imagine a bunch of aliens in far galaxies blasting rays of energy from their eyes than to imagine a decline to social disparity or hungry here on our very real planet.
Magneto got everybody saying it
The very concept of Las Vegas blows my mind. It shows that we can turn even a desert with a sprawling city. Imagine if you had Stark Tech? Floating cities? Islands out of thin air? I remember him mentioning "Intelli-crops" in part one. Imagine a world where literally no one goes hungry again.
Floating cities? Did you forget what happened to the helicarrier in Avengers 1?
You know…. Despite all their power no matter how much they save the world or the universe you would think with all the resources they would have done something to improve society down to earth but instead… the heroes have became ignorant to pass the time with something thats more important than a street criminal
I honestly want the MCU to have J. Jonah Jameson be against the idea of heroes and have some of the stuff featured in this video as his reasoning.
Well the thing is luke cagw. Called them out one about being a ivory tower team. That once in a while they need to see the little people.
I hope that we get a Norman Osborn’s Iron Patriot from the dark avengers
One thing that you're forgetting, Oscorp doesn't exist in the 616 universe.
It IS worth noting that in the comic version of Civil War 1 it was Tony and not Fury who implemented the '50 State Initiative' which attempted to organize an official Avengers team for each state to reduce the strain on the main team and shorten response times, as well as have the public feel more personally connected with their local super heroes.
This was probably the last really well fleshed out major crossover event in the last few years of comics, a lot of material went down hill after Dark Avengers and Avengers Vs X-Men
this is what happens when your superhero movies have to be approved by the US military
14:43 Sam also, by extension, got duped into working for the person who helped cause all the entire mess as Sharon Carter was the one providing Super Soldier Serum to agitants and then basically used Falcon and Winter Soldier to cover up her involvement, all to get her un/blacklisted by the US.
What do people expect the Avengers to do about making a way of life better? There’s only so much that 6-14 individuals can do on that level
That sounds like that “You need to do better Senator. You need to step up” nonsense
Agreed. I don't know what you want them to do, but it sounds more like trying to blame someone for your own problems.
There are arguments. Here's one, at the end of Iron Man 3 Tony actually fixed extremis, and probably got it to a point that it would have operated in the best manner which would've revolutionized their world. The one the Shield show had was flawed if I remember correctly. I may be missing some things. Pym Particles would have changed earth forever in the positive. Wakanda has the resources to change earth forever. Asgard couldve done amazing things for earth. The Avengers dropped the ball in a lot of ways. That's why they'll never be better than thr X Men. For all their flaws they still try to heal the world for those who are again them an aren't like them an are more relatable than the Avengers. To be super powered beings they're more human than anyone on the Avengers.
There's a lot that 6-14 individuals can do, though. Take Tony for example. In a single action, he could release a patent for the arc reactor into the public domain and solve a ton of problems. The world gets relatively clean energy, for virtually free costs. This would have far reaching ramifications. Water and food shortages could largely be solved by this because now we can power desalinization plants and just physically pump the water to places that need it. Sure, the plants and pipelines cost money, but now that energy is basically free, that frees up the monetary resources to do this. Climate change to a large degree is also solved. Arguably the biggest driver of inflation lately and certainly THE biggest factor in market volatility goes poof. Now yeah, other countries and militaries would also weaponize it similar to how Tony himself weaponized the technology. Not every change and ramification is a good one. However, if you ask the 4/8 billion people on the planet if those risks are worth the other rewards, it would be a resounding yes. Is Tony building and installing every single reactor in every single city? No. There'd be millions of people involved. But it all starts with the actions of just one person. Imagine how many work injuries could be solved with anti-gravity tools? In general, go watch most Marvel movies and essentially the message largely boils down to protecting the status quo is good, disrupting the status quo is bad.
Lets not forget about Kingpin he’s also a part of the street level conflict along with both Vulture and Zemo
It’s scope vs spectrum. Collectively, every human’s intention inherently is the good for one another, as any hero should think. They and the Vulture are alike, but the Vulture’s scope at the moment is his own and his family’s well-being, a deed he got blinded by in the end. His spite on the Avengers and those in power is their mistake on utilizing their scope as they are deemed powerful and privileged, which is a fallacy. Not every hero (street level guys like Spidey and the MCU Defenders) can think about the well-being of everyone at a given time. Even worse, only a small number of them can be heard to make a big difference (the case of Falcon/Captain America over GRC’s policies until a threat like the Flag Smashers came knocking). Heroes in the MCU have always been portrayed as reactive heroes which is a sort of literary symbol of how the real world usually just reacts to something bad happening rather than preventative (except Tony). Their spectrum are the same but their scope are different, and in the case of the heroes, misunderstood. This is also why relatable villains are the best ones, coz there’s nothing more gripping than an audience divided between the protagonist and the antagonist.
Someone is pissed.
Is this why Peter Parker refused the new Spider-Man out at the end of Homecoming at the new Avenger’s facility? Let’s not get too big too soon is the thought…
Maybe with the Avengers they’ll create a branch that specifically deals with crime
I feel like this video inadvertently explained the possible overarcing theme of phases 4-6. It seemed that the goals of the heroes are too scattered and spread thin that has unlcear ways of leading up to the next Avengers film, but people failed to recognize that the build up is happening on the government's side, leading up to the formation of Dark Avengers. Just like SHIELD in the infinity saga, DODC has been in a lot of these current productions.
Great video guys - I love these kind of chats / thoughts / ideas, they are like the flip side of the coin or the stuff that goes on outside of frame from the films. With the Hawkeye series I thought we would get a lot of stories about what happened after the blip and the reappearance of people. Do more of this type of piece - very thought provoking 👍
So Zemo and vulture team up and start a popular class war- like in the falcon and winter soldier show. Problem is should hero’s fight the people they are supposed to defend for class status?? Deep concept and brings the story back to a relatable earth.
An MCU show with the villains as the protagonists with one of the avengers as the antagonist could be really cool. In the bigger picture the avengers side of the battle is still in the right but we get to see it from the villains pov. That would be dope
@@DatBoiGloomy I wish Vulture was in Thunderbolts, fuck Sony, and fuck Avi Arad and fuck Amy Pascal for screwing over Vulture. Pascal and Arad arent even real adults.
if Reed Richards were in the MCU they wouldn't have these problems 😂
I watched GOTG3 again recently and was reminded that Gamora comes from a timeline that no longer exists. Would love to blame that on the Avengers, but didn't Thanos use Pym Particles to come to the battle at Endgame? Sure, the world was already in process of incurring an incursion, but the TVA says the Avengers were supposed to time travel, but say nothing about Thanos, who was inevitable. Gamora should be dead, Peter even questioned it in GOTG3. Idk what it could mean either that she's alive, other than being a different Gamora all together.
Look at it from the total view of loki at the end of time, from the perspective of a in-universe character, time is linear, but outside of time, any changes have "always been". Whatever happens to the timelines/universes, those inside don't know a difference, everything just is or isn't. So from a total view, that timeline that the new Gamora is from is probably still there, but during endgame it probably got pruned by the tva
once the avengers snapped the nexus-causing beings and returned the infinited stones. Any changes to that timeline were always planned from the beginning, since it was part of He Who Remain's plan. Once loki became the ruler of the timelines that "prunning" was not essential anymore as he's protecting the making of any new branches from now on.
Punisher and Deadpool better join the thunderbolts
I think we're missing just how bad the situation was for Earth.
Without Cap, Hydra would have won WW2. Bye bye America.
Without the Avengers, the aliens would have conquered Earth and Thanos would still get all the Infinity Stones but no one would be around to reverse it.
Compared to that, I think what the Vultures of the world got wasn't so bad after all.
Yep. It's not the job of the Avengers to improve the world, they protect it.
This was pretty deep and I loved it! Well done guys!
Your arguments were excellent. Might be the first time I agreed with almost everything you said. You had some "Maybe So-And-So Was Right" that totally reached for the moon, but this one was quite good.
I think that vulture was a very honest villain and I think it was obvious that tombes was absolutely right and he was the perfect “villain” for first Spider-Man just because he was financially motivated and not world take over bound
Here's something people don't talk about: the Young Avengers might actually be the Champions...the Avengers failure to improve the quality of life on earth that Ryan describes is an issue in the comics as well, and that's why Ms Marvel breaks off from the Avengers and forms the champions. She is also forming the team in the MCU, but it consists of young Avengers members. So it might be like a combination of the two teams.
God, I am loving this video. Stephen Strange was the adult when Peter asked him a favor. He couldn't ask Peter did you talk to them?
Excellent video
I see why off World stores are more appealing. Imagine having to explain the economy in the films of Heroes
Always a good video when Ryan doesn’t make a “your mom” bait and switch joke.
This is why we need S.H.I.E.L.D. Back
Nothing was beneath them
They just had the weight of the world against them
Everyone was hunting them, and the threats kept getting bigger, and bigger
They were finally reestablished in the wake of the Secovia Accords, and the break up of the Avengers
Only for Coulsons group to . . . Ahhhh. . . . Warp out of our MCU, and into a few other timelines/universe’s???
But
We need Shield Back
They kept the world safe, nothing was beneath them, and they ultimately saved the world more than the Avenger’s ever did
Thanks for the breakdown Ryan
This video is exactly why i love this channel!
THANKS for this, Doug and Ryan!!!! I hope the MCU honchos are watching and thinking and planning and....
I’ve never understood why the Falcon (in the Falcon and Winter Soldier series) needed a bank loan. Why didn’t billionaire Tony Stark throw everyone on the Avengers team a few million a year? Or why wouldn’t the governments give them money as consultants? They were certainly cheaper than what space ships and weapons would cost.
That was a stupid plotline banks would be after him so they can say that an Avenger uses their bank.
@@godking That’s true. I didn’t even think of that.
@@TheGreenTulips or the fact his alter ego is on lunch boxes and a million other bits of merch in this universe.. the dude would be rolling in cash just from the licencing fee's to use his likeness on all those products
@@johntowers1213 You’re right. I just get so caught up in the universe and “suspend my disbelief.” Then, after I watch it it’s like….hey wait a minute! That doesn’t sound right!
@@TheGreenTulipsMight i remind you Sam was on the run for two years and was blipped for 5 years that take out a lot money from ya and remember discrimination still exist

Peter didn't think of the rest of the world when he went to Dr Strange because he's a fucking teenager. Selfish tunnel vision is their CLICHE weakness. 🤦🏼
Yall deserve more views frfr
My view on Avengers changes so suddenly after I watched this. They are more villainous than a heroes.
What a great video. So much truth and the MCU has changed so much. We need to get back to our roots baby!
This is exactly why Thanos' snap would never work. The rich and powerful could recover quickly, even exploit the situation, but the little guy would hurt the most.
I’m waiting on a joke about a team up… don’t disappoint me guys.
Great video!
SUPERPRIVILEGE
I love it. Did someone quote that?
3:03 Bokeem Woodbine,
a diamond of an actor
You do get a ground level view of the devastation in Endgame
To be fair in Antman and Wasp Quantumania it's revealed that Hope VanDyne is using her company and intelligence to aid in reforestation, affordable housing, and food production. Also Tony in Captain America Civil War was finding college students' research projects. So I wouldn't say they weren't doing anything on the community scale.
I can’t wait to see what is next for the MCU.
I'm already pumped for the Doom was right video in five years
You know what... You're so right, what I want to see at the movie theater is Tony Stark, hulk, Thor, black widow, ect come together to solve logistical problems. Like setting up, food banks, and finding housing for 4 billion people. That sounds fantastic and riveting to watch a real nail bitter. If only I could see hulk go to work as a city planner my life would be complete..
This would be a great theme to touch in those future fantastic four movies! The avengers are an elite strike force, what Ultron said to captain america is actually valid to all of them: They could not live without a war. The avengers don’t go out doing research and discovering cures for diseases and etc. Maybe Bruce and Tony, but that wasn’t the focus of their work. Reed and the FF could fill this place and be a team that worries about the future of the world and the people living in it
Crazy because DCs The Justice League did exactly what you mentioned in reference to sub divisions within the organization
Well, in the first avengers Nick Fury was working on weaponizing alien tech and used it to revive Coulson; He also created (with help of the scrulls) the harvest. Not the grearest of plots but as usual is always ahead of the curve. Fury sees the bigger picture and if he wanted could get the avengers to do better.
The only thing I can think of is the avenger we're all dealing with their own trauma which is why they didn't consider other stuff I mean hawkeye and Banner never really wanted to be heroes in the 1st place they just wanted to live and be left alone thor lost his whole family and was really only on earth by chance and then Jane Tony had space ptsd and when they tried it blew up into heir faces so maybe their trauma held then back from doing more just a thought
Interesting. The difference between protecting the world and making it a better place.
Ultron was right until sakovia.
This video is wonderful. Spot on. I am so excited to for the next Spider-Man movie because it looks like it's going to bring some of the pathos that the Sam/Toby movies had back.
One of the reasons why Sam makes that point so much is he's legitimately Captain America but is on no payroll. He legitimately is not paid by anybody him or Bucky. That's nuts they're just like guys hanging out
One thing you definitely need to consider is that Tombs is a hypocrite too. He's not really working class, he's an owner. Look at his house, his car, his watch, his wealth is always on display just like Tony. He is not the working class hero he says he is. He might be right about the Avengers, but he's also not making life better for anyone. Do his workers also have huge, opulent houses? Is he supplying power to the people of Queens free of charge using the tech he's scavenged? He could make life better for people, but he instead chooses to make their lives worse and himself rich.
Oh so Tony is faultless now right fanboy
@@nalday2534 Not at all. I even say that Tombs is right about the Avengers. My point stands that he's not a working class hero, he's a grifter who's co-opted the language of the working class to enrich himself and exploit those around him. He's like so many "small business" owners that are petty tyrants of their tiny kingdoms.
One of the first things Toomes says is that he has loans to pay, might lose his house, and his workers need the jobs. Why would he work on free energy? He is not Tony Stark rich, he can’t afford to help everybody. You see the house post time skip at which point it’s been years (“business is good”), and Stark has an awesome house too, yet he’s still considered a philanthropist.
Toomes isn't a billionaire, most of your exclamations have faults and holes.
@@TheDaniel9And yet he proved his own point in the end over Stark, Stark is just as culpable for his nonsense as well too.
The Fantastic Four movie has to be a different reality because they would make the world a better place. They couldn't have been here all along and it not show in the world. I think they are going to be asking the same questions of the Avengers eventually.
"I am poorer than you, ergo, you must give me everything you have, or else...."
-ScreenCrush's idea of a "hero"
Thanks Ryan!
Imagine if all of the writers were on the same page and were able to tell a collective narrative between each movie to build a cohesive universe. Maybe we’ll get that post Secret Wars.
Okay yeah Toomes is right that he doesn't have a fair shot. That's just life. Like, real life.
But his contempt, and the point of this video, is misplaced. It's not the Avengers' job to mitigate economic inequality. Like you said, they're not the government. Not their monkeys, not their circus.
Saving the planet from enslavement or annihilation IS the Avengers' way of making life better for all of us... From a certain point of view.
But making sure these incidents, etc don't get out of hand is their fault is their responsibility as well.
It may not feel that way is some people lost their lives and loved ones and homes.
Nick Fury said it best when he said the Avengers were created to handle the threats that they never could. Vision's logic does have some merit but in the end, you are taking away individual human agency and placing responsibility on others...government or superhero. Tony Stark or Doctor Strange using their abilities takes away personal responsibility. You can take the claim that they had a responsibility to make lives better and scale it way down to yourself. How many lives are YOU personally making better with your level of ability and affluence? See how that never works?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
