The MCU Changed Marvel Comics — and Not for the Better

It’s been almost 18 years since the Marvel Cinematic Universe debuted with Iron Man. Since then, Marvel Studios succeeded in turning the franchise into a huge phenomenon. Marvel has never been this mainstream, not even during Fox’s run on the X-Men in the early 2000s. This came with both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, the amount of Marvel content available is something comic fans could only have dreamed of before. On the other hand, it changed Marvel Comics in a way no fan wanted to see.At some point in the last couple of decades, the synergy between the MCU and Marvel Comics changed directions. The comics were the source material for the MCU films and TV shows. Now, while this is still true, Marvel Studios now influences the comics, too. This has disrupted the canon, and many fans aren’t happy about it, especially because this has flattened great characters to make them more palatable for mainstream audiences.It was around the premiere of The Avengers that both Marvel fans and non-Marvel fans realized Marvel Studios had found lightning in a bottle. The films started drawing all kinds of audiences, and the Avengers established themselves as staples in pop culture. This was something only Spider-Man and a handful of X-Men had achieved before.
