Furthermore, the Sokovia Accords barely resembles the SRA anyway. It couldn't, because none of the heroes in question have secret identities, there are less than a dozen of them active on Earth, and they've been acting for years rather than decades. Which is my other point: comparing them is silly, both because they have so little in common and because the mainline Marvel Universe is so ridiculously different from the MCU. Complaining that the scale wasn't big enough is absurd, because the film introduced two new characters, could've returned all the characters from other movies that weren't on Earth, and ''still'' would've barely have enough superheroes to field a football team.

And, fine, I'll admit I hate the comic. Mark Millar has been very open and clear about this: he wanted an excuse for big superhero-on-superhero bloodbath; he didn't give a ''shit'' what plot was clumsily fabricated to produce it, how much sense it made, or whether the character writing fit the cast. And the result was a messy, broken event that ''didn't'' have a well-fabricated plot, ''didn't'' make sense, and ''didn't'' properly respect or represent almost any of the characters involved. Anyone who liked the original comic enough to complain about the movie making changes to it ''literally'' cares more about it than the guy who made it.

So, in short, we have a film based on very poor source material, that is barely trying to adapt the comic anyway, in circumstances where the original story would make even less sense, with a piece of source material that has little artistic merit in the first place.

Sometimes, people ''are'' stupid and ignorant and knee-jerk assuming any change is the change for the worst. And their interpretations, that they cling to out of stubbornness, spite, and a need to feel superior to the unwashed masses, rather than for any kind of honest reason, ''deserve'' to be harshly and cruelly dismissed.

But, hey, I'm not reverting the edit. And it's not like I'll ever change the mind of the guy who put it there. Science shows that arguing with people just makes them ''believe harder'' out of spite. Just have to learn to live with it.
