DoWeHaveThisOne: Vision puts forward
to:
DoWeHaveThisOne: Vision puts forward \"an equation\" to put a realistic spin on the SuperheroParadox - \"Why do these things keep happening?\";
-->In the 8 years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man, the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. And during the same period, a number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commensurable rate. ...I\'m saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe. Oversight... Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand.
The audience knows it\'s because people are watching the movies. Instead, break them down individually;
# \'\'The First Avenger\'\': Johann Schmidt believes that there is a great power hidden in the earth, left by the gods, waiting to be seized by a superior man. So when he hears about Erskine\'s formula and what it can do, he cannot resist. Schmidt must become that superior man. He uses Erskine\'s formula, and thus becomes the Red Skull. Erskine thus searches for a force to counter him - a good man to overcome his evil.
# \'\'Iron Man 1\'\': Stane wants control of Stark Enterprises, and gives terrorists \"trinkets to kill a prince\". Stark thus creates the first Iron Man armor to overcome the terrorists, and ultimately overcome Stane.
# \'\'The Incredible Hulk\'\': Ross wants more Super Soldiers, and lies to Banner so he will help make it work. Instead, it creates the Hulk. Banner realizes that Ross wants to use the Hulk as a weapon, and flees him. Ross empowers Blonsky, and ultimately he loses control of him and Banner has to step forward and stop him.
# \'\'Iron Man 2\'\': Hammer wants the Iron Man suits. Vanko wants revenge because Stark\'s father deported his... because Stark wanted to keep control of Arc Reactor technology. Hammer recruits Vanko, empowers him, and Stark has to stop him.
# \'\'The Avengers\'\': Everyone wants the Tesseract. Everyone fights over the Tesseract. The Avengers make sure it goes to Asgard.
# \'\'Iron Man 3\'\': ...This really comes down to Stark creating his own demons again. He treated Killian like dirt, Killian lost his mind in his drive for revenge, explosions everywhere.
# \'\'The Winter Soldier\'\': HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Captain America threw his mighty shield at them.
# \'\'Guardians of the Galaxy\'\': (beyond the Avengers\' knowledge, but it still fits the theme) Ronan wants the orb, so he can destroy his enemies. The Guardians stop him.
# \'\'Ant-Man\'\': Cross wants the Pym Particle. Pym recruits Lang to stop him.
# \'\'Age of Ultron\'\': Stark wanted to put \"a suit of armor around the world\". Said armor became Ultron, and they had to create Vision to stop him.

...It\'s not that strength invites conflict. \'\'It\'s that strength is only discovered in conflict.\'\' \'\'\'VillainsActHeroesReact.\'\'\'

Vision is \'\'\'\'\'blaming the flies for the garbage.\'\'\'\'\' Is there a trope for someone being \"believes black is white\" levels of wrong?

Especially since the repeated theme is that it\'s the \'\'villains\'\' who seek \"oversight\" - AKA control of a great power - and the heroes have to stop them? And if a hero is not available, new ones rise to the challenge?
