The original force seen was just the vanguard. If you're pulling off a planetary invasion of a world with a population around 8 billion, I'm assuming a hundred thousand would be the minimum size force you'd desire.

>>
>>81389982

There weren't hundreds of thousands, there were a few thousand. If that.

More than that, the Avengers were ACTIVELY WORKING TO KEEP THE ALIENS CONFINED TO A FEW SQUARE BLOCKS WHILE NEW YORK RESCUE WORKERS EVACUATED THE AREA.

So yeah. 74 deaths, and probably countless more injured.

Compare this to Man of Murder, who not only didn't even fucking TRY to avoid collateral damage, was plowing through buildings and destroying shit himself.
>>
The fact that on 74 people died in new york makes the councils decision to fire a nuclear warhead at manhatten even more retarded....

Can I chalk that up to Hydra shenanigans or something?

Well, first off you don't know the death count until the battle was over and you have a chance to separate the corpses from the survivors so for all they knew there were thousands dead -a number that could potentially rack up into millions if the super heroes weren't able to close the wormhole shitting of space demons. So, you know, a nuke wasn't entirely unreasonable.

That being said, Hydra probably did have a hand in it. You know, because Hydra is dicks.

This is the biggest bullshit in the MCU because Marvel doesnt want to have to say that people died in the thousands since that would make parents not take thier kids to see it.

I honestly fail to see how any Superhero Movie outside of the Nolan Bats are worth the hype they garner. They're all trash -- which is a shame because, though I'm not really someone who reads comics, there seems to be so much wasted potential.

Why can't there actually be entertaining Superhero films that don't pander to the 'le quippy meme' crowd and tackle philosophical themes -- without being pretentious -- through solid imagery and direction? Is that honestly too much to ask?

Because the last one of those was Hellboy 2 and it flopped.

I don't think the genre is for you. Even Nolan's trilogy even had a handful of jokes across all three films.

>Why can't there actually be entertaining Superhero films that don't pander to the 'le quippy meme' crowd and tackle philosophical themes -- without being pretentious -- through solid imagery and direction? Is that honestly too much to ask?

Yeah, kinda. Superheroes are simple moral parables for children.

Captain America The Winter Soldier is probably the closest to what you want, but even that has moments of levity.

Most people don't want superhero films to be joyless

And that's always been fucking retarded. He's a soldier, not some random vigilante. Soldiers kill when they have to, and the movies recognizing that is one of the best changes they made.
