5 Characters the MCU Ruined (And 5 It Fixed)

Which one of these changes do you believe was the best thing the MCU did?

I honestly didn't like vulture in the comics and I think mcu did a great thing with his story

Not only would the "real" Mandarin being in Iron Man 3 take away from Shang-Chi, but also take away from the build up of Thanos being Iron Man's true nemesis starting with Avengers and ending with Endgame

I think the MCU "fixed" Scarlet witch. Before infinity war she was incredibly underpowered who never got moments to shine and was always with other people. But since infinity war she has had many epic moment's, that also show her potential and of course she got her own show to shine where we finally get to see her true power potential and it really dives into her as a character. She is now a primary character who I can't wait to appear in multiverse of madness

The Worst part is we never got to see Tony actually fight the Mandarin

Hawkeye's haircut in Endgame is absolutely amazing and it's not a trash one . He's getting all the justice in Hawkeye show

Hawkeye is sick! They definitely fixed him in age of ultron, Endgame and his Disney+ series

You forgot about the MCU completely ruining Taskmaster 🙃

For me, I’m not a fan of Sharon Carter’s villain story arc in Falcon and The Winter Soldier. I feel like it was unnecessary to make her a villain as she was already a really enjoyable character and Marvel didn’t need to change the character’s moral direction. I also am upset that the Feige didn’t rename the Disney+ series “Captain America and Bucky” in the show’s end credits.

You missed the worst MCU character which was Taskmaster

The Mandarin thing in Iron Man 3 was actually brilliant, they used it to actually call out the way Western society has been prone to believe in middle eastern boogeyman instead of realizing the villains were in their own backyard, and quite frankly I think a good chunk of the anger at the Mandarin twist came from folks upset about the not so subtle political call out on western society. I almost wish Marvel didn’t fold to angry fans and make a real Mandarin, but the way they did bring in the real Mandarin by also having Wenwu make fun of the usage of the name was also a brilliant way of keeping what happened in the film intact while still calling out western society’s tendencies for stereotypes. So ultimately it worked both ways for me.

i think my least favorite part about hulk is that they made him into comedic relief when in avengers 1&2 he was a super complex and deep character in relation to bruce banner

i know Zemo is just the overarching antagonist of civil war, but I thought his initial mcu version serves purpose really well, like he did break up the avengers to pieces and its effect took over and one of the big reasons why the avengers lost the infinity war. Zemo's new reason in FaWS was necessary, as it should (he needs to be relevant to make his appearance make sense), but I thought Zemo is not Ruined character in Civil War.

Honestly, Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin would've been epic.

Taskmaster=Ruined. And yes, I would go back and change it so Kingsley was the real Mandarin.

The MCU have ruined the Hulk in Infinity War and Endgame which pissed me and fans off.

How was taskmaster not on this list for ruined characters

The question at the end, I feel as though many people are forgetting is that Peter was, and still is, a genius even before meeting Tony Stark. In the comics Peter used his intellect, engineering skills, and creativity to build his own company from the ground up by inventing things. Despite me thinking that part of the reason others see Peter as a "Tony Stark Jr." is because of the way Peter was introduced into the franchise and having Tony become a mentor/father figure, I think it was the only and best way to introduce Spider-man without having to go through another Spider-man origins movie. No one seems to realise, or at least says it, that Tony needed Peter as son figure just as much as Peter needed Tony as a parental figure, they both learned greatly from each other, and it prepared Tony to have a child of his own.

Taika waititi's version of Thor saved the characters. Taika waititi is know for his humour, and engaging him for Thor Ragnarok was really the best thing to do, honestly Ragnarok is the movie that made me go "wow, I love Thor" while before I saw him as boring, even annoying. We definitely have to thank taika waititi and Chris Hemsworth for forging Thor's Identity and paving this new way for him

You forgot taskmaster💀 I love that character so much and was a massive let down sure a woman taskmaster would of been cool and different but they just forgot taskmasters story or something and thought yh his just a guy with a helmet now😂
