Here Is How The Comic Book Characters Get Portrayed In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

These are incredible times for the superhero genre. In fact, if you talk to any fan of the superhero stuff, chances are that you will hear how the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a shared superhero universe which has seen almost twenty films by now, and the various shows on ABC as well as in Marvel’s Netflix universe, are the best live-action portrayals of superhero comic books ever.

This leads us to ask – how identical an adaptation they are?

The thing is, in any comic book adaptation, the makers carry out some changes. Some changes are minor like the regular upgrade of Iron-Man’s armor or the Spider-Man suits, while others are more impactful like converting The Mandarin into Trevor the Actor.

There are not many things that make comic fans angry faster than the visual changes between the comic book characters and their cinematic adaptations.

The cause of that anger is easily understandable. There are times when comic book readers spend long years waiting to see their beloved characters appear in the live-action format. That’s the reason why at times some normal, decent films can be classified as rubbish due to the dissimilarities between the expectations and the reality. A character’s costume can often be decisive in determining whether fans will love the character or not. For example, Man of Steel was criticized for being too dark and similar to Batman, when the first image of Henry Cavill’s Superman was revealed online.

To keep the spirit of the comic books alive, Marvel Cinematic Universe is present on Instagram, preparing infographics which make comparisons between the various Marvel Cinematic Universe’s versions of characters (of course, including the films as well as the TV adaptations), with their rival DC.

In this article, we will present to you brief evaluation of a bunch of images put together by Reddit users, and the condition here is that not all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes and villains that have been comic book inaccurate, would get featured here, as some will obviously be missing.

We will mention what according to us is accurate and what is not, in terms of the movies and TV shows based on the comic books.
