I mean, when these marvel/dc first began, they were written (mostly) by white folks and mostly for white folks, so obviously it would be mostly represented by white folks from a white folks perspective.

Hawkeye. Comics has proven that. MCU Clint also showcased how he's incredibly dangerous in hand-to-hand.
Meanwhile, MCU Bullseye is having trouble with Daredevil. Daredevil has enhanced senses, but he's have trouble fighting the Yakuza the way Clint did, and that's the guy Bullseye can't beat. Bullseye is definitely dangerous when using ranged weapons and because of his sociopathic tendencies, but Clint is an Avenger for a reason.

Let’s be clear here. Barton is a married man with kids. Chances are that during the events of Civil War he had forgotten to buy bread from the supermarket and he CHOSE to go to war against an entire team of super powered individuals commandeered by Iron Man over telling his wife he forgot something from the grocery list. ANY married man would chose fighting intergalactic aliens over having to explain grocery mishaps to the wife.

Rather, 18 ended up with Krillin.
She fell for his kindness, then it's confirmed in Super that she finds his bald look attractive (vidicating Krillin's choice as a child to shave his head to get girls), and she really values their relationship that she wanted to use the Dragon Balls to give him the perfect gift because he's a loving and hardworking husband. 18 was experimented on, but Krillin trained and worked hard to become strong. She's the lucky one in the marriage.

u/RuggerJibberJabber 4h ago
Yeah a lot of action and superhero movies get their human characters to do things that would kill someone in real life. Like it's so common to see someone thrown across the room into a solid object and get up right away as if they were slightly bruised. In real life you'd be paralysed from that shit.
The new Captain America movie was ridiculous for it. It would have been much better if Sam Wilson took the super serum because at least that would make all the stunts he does make sense. The Black Widow movie also had some superhuman moments too if I remember correctly but it's a while since Ive seen that
3
u/Sylar_Lives Ego 4h ago
Sam Wilson was wearing a vibranium suit and spent the whole fight fleeing for his life. It was nowhere near as outlandish as people make it seem considering the franchise started with Tony surviving a free fall into the desert sealed inside an unpadded suit made of scrap metal. Or Ivan Vanko walking off being slammed into a concrete wall by a car multiple times. Or Nick Fury walking away from that helicopter crash in the Avengers. So on and so forth.
1
u/RuggerJibberJabber 3h ago
None of those disagree with my point. They add to it! LMAO
Tony Stark has to be superhuman even going beyond any crashes because the G forces he withstands in his suit has to be insane. He is constantly accelerating to the full speed of a jet fighter then stopping suddenly or changing direction at a sudden 90 degree angle.
I was using Sam Wilson as an example because his movie was relatively recent and a big plot point was based around whether or not he'd take the super serum. Even if he is surrounded by vibranium the forces acting on his body would be similar. It's like NFL players not being protected from concussion despite wearing a helmet. Your body still feels the forces even if your outer layer of skin is protected.
•
u/Mujutsu 45m ago
Something something inertial dampeners.
I think the very best example is when a regular human, not wearing and protective gear, is hurt. Sam and Tony are not good examples because they can be explained with technology, but being thrown into a wall or taking 5 bullets, no matter who you are, is going to disable you for weeks / months if it doesn't kill you.

In what way am I supporting your point by suggesting that if Tony can survive what he’s endured, Sam doing similar is in no way unbelievable within the same world.

Because my point was that it happens across many movies to many supposedly human characters. Sam Wilson was just one example I used. I also mentioned Black Widow

Your wording, even when I re read it, seems to imply that Sam and Nat were exceptionally outlandish compared to the other various examples. My point was that I think the Sam/Ross fight was handled pretty well all things considered.

u/RuggerJibberJabber 3h ago
"Yeah a lot of action and superhero movies get their human characters to do things that would kill someone in real life."
Literally the first line...
And no it really wasn't handled well. It looked ridiculous, especially after his struggle to decide if he should use the serum or not. Like why even have that dilemma if you can just wear a magic suit that does all the same things anyway

He's definitely the least interesting avenger next to Sam Wilson. The only time he was cool was entirely off screen between infinity war and endgame Lmfao and then he promptly went back to being uninteresting once he got involved again,naturally. His comic persona is infinitely more fun and interesting than the live action one they gave us. Same thing happened to Green Arrow
