Gonna be honest, don’t understand how the MCU seems the Battle of New York to be the fault of the Avengers. SHIELD sent nukes to midtown Manhattan. How is what the Avengers did worse than nuking NYC?

This is why the X-Men setting coexists so uneasily with the rest of Marvel and the whole concept of "mutates" like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four

Yeah thats pretty much why they had to be written out of the Civil War arc. That and they remove pretty much any sense of moral ambiguity that writers might have been going for.

It's also not especially hard to get people to turn on perceived "elites," and it's easy to sell the Avengers as ruining folks' comfortable daily lives with capricious and "selfish" actions. After all, why do THEY get to go around acting like the law doesn't apply?

This kind of comes back to how in Watchmen, Nixon used Dr. Manhattan to win Vietnam and intimidate the Soviets.

Probably would make more sense if there was some kind of weird conspiracy theory about it, like the Protocols of the Elders of the Atom.

The trouble is some asshole will be writing the comic five years later and decide to make the conspiracy real as a way to ratchet up the drama.
