I wonder about the double standard in judging Marvel vs DC in films, sometimes. It's like looking at consoles. It's okay to like one and not the other. Just be consistent. Don't give one a free pass and then condemn the other foot doing the exact same thing.

Don't say "Why didn't Superman just attack Lex after he saved Lois" but not say "Why didn't Ronin just attack Starlord instead of watching him dance."

Don't say "Batman just let Gotham get destroyed" and not say "Ant Man just blew up a building be robbed" (and don't get me started on the whole "shrink in size but keep your density" thing. Hank Pym carried a friggin TANK on a keychain!)

Don't say Superman should be responsible for Zod's destruction and not complain about Iron Man creating friggin Ultron (who was created by Hank Pym in the comics, I might add).

Just be consistent.

 

For the first question, Marvel are not going with hyper realism and humour, that's why Marvel get away with more than DC. 

 

Ironman is an ass. He pays for his douchery in Civil War. I just hope they stick to the comics. If they do, Thor will be handing him a beating of a life time for killing cap, profiting from the civil war, tricking people by creating a fake Thor and being an asshat. 

 

If they change the story to side with Stark then I am no longer interested in the MVU either. 

Batman vs Superman isnt even realistic. DC is trying to pose as realistic. If this was realistic batman wouldve been dead by the military (making nolans movies closer to reality than this), failing to reach the age hes at in the movie. Wonder Woman would not have revealed herself either and there would be no lex luthor. There is no real world scenario. Its just dark and dramatic. Thats what they mean to say.

Kickass is more realistic than Batman vs Superman, because it acknolwdges that superheroes really dont exist and that superheroes at meant to be inspirations. Being a vigilante has its limits.
