Marvel Movies v Marvel Comics

Marvel movies are all the rage. Captain America (Steve Rogers), Thor Odinson, Iron Man (Tony Stark), Spider-Man (Peter Parker), and even Wolverine are more popular than they have ever been. But if you look at the comics, these popular characters are almost nowhere to be found. Steve Rogers has been replaced by his longtime sidekick, Sam Wilson. Thor Odinson has been replaced by a woman, Iron man is now evil, they are trying desperately to replace Peter Parker with Miles Morales, and Wolverine is dead. But of you disagree with any of these business decisions; you’re a racist, bigot, homophobe.

An Iron Clad Copout

   Iron Man has been one of my favorite Marvel movie franchises. It has taken Tony Stark and made him interesting, it has advanced Libertarian values (the defense of Private innovation and the right to Private property) and in spite of some changes from the comics (Jarvis becoming a computer and Pepper Potts being promoted from secretary several years his senior to love interest) has stayed true to the spirit and tone of the books that inspired it… until now.
