Random MCU thoughts...
* I'm 56 years old, and the last time I read a comic book was probably age 20. That said, the stories of virtually all of the MCU movies are from the late 1970s and 1980s.
* Marvel always greater humanity, dialogue and character than the DC universe. The characters had far more foibles and were far more relate-able.
* It's interesting to me that the MCU movies retained the Marvel Comics' preference of keeping the mutant superheroes (X-Men) separate from the non-mutants (Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, etc.). Then there's Deadpool, even more separate in the comics, but he ties in with the mutants pretty regularly.
* Supposedly Robert Downey Jr. had a great deal to do with the ongoing scripts being so entertaining and watchable. There's a great deal in the movies that isn't in the comics.
