But there are more than a few legitimate complaints to lodge against Captain America and his super-associates.
The one that comes to mind most readily is the plague of sameyness that has spread through the brands.
A Marvel Studios origin story is going to have all of the same beats and generally be pretty good.

A DC movie is going to have interesting visuals and incoherent internal logic and will probably be pretty bad.
(Dont @ me.
This is a fact.)
But not all of this is accidental.
Foxs X-Men movies are a unique case.
But this is still a superhero story, so we need to start in a low point.
David hears voices and sees things, which lead to freak-out episodes usually involving some telekinetic fireworks.
Its in Clockworks that David faces a realistic dilemma.
If he pleads sanity, the doctors believe hes crazy.
If he agrees with them, they up his dosage of mind-numbing, drool-string-inducing meds.
But you and I already know whats really up with David.
NEXT: A Clockworks courtship
Despite the unwilling and unnecessary confinement, David is doing all right.
Syd, played byFargoseason 2s Rachel Keller, is the new girl at Clockworks.
All of this is a very lovely story, but were not the only ones hearing it.
And thats possibly the most powerful mutant theyve ever encountered.
(But like, seriously, who hasnt had that experience with a crush.)
It seems that Syd was hiding some powers, too!
David awakes in his girlfriends body to discover what havoc shes wrought in his and with his abilities.
All of the inhabitants of the hospital have been sealed into the rooms well, except for Lenny.
She got caught in the wall, making for one of the sickest reveals in recent TV history.
Still disguised as Syd, David is given the heave-ho from Clockworks and sets out into the world.
Back in the present, David is in trouble.
A small temper tantrum that pushed a pen through the Interrogators cheek (awesome!)
and shattered the room around him has put David on the governments bad side.
They want to know where Syd is, but he doesnt know.
Luckily, Syds got some new friends, and those friends have tricks.
During what were led to believe is another flashback, David meets back up with Syd.
But the scene is not a flashback, but more a flash-inside Davids head.
Syd is being projected into his mind and is able to give him instructions about breaking out.
It cleanses so many of the X-Men sins of the past well,not all of them.
But its one hell of a start.
