How can the MCU solve the 'reactionary/status quo' issue?
Namely the issue that Reed Richards is useless, Hank Pym hasn't done shit, and Tony's inventions are wasted on getting your inner Hulk out.
The issue that superheroes are reactionaries, who don't possess long-term plans for improving the social dynamics of the world and solve its most glaring problems.
Or maybe I'm asking the wrong question here.
Maybe it's not "how can it do so", maybe it's "does it even want to do so?"
Because if Marvel isn't interested in one-upping the image of a superhero - from a savior and protector to a creator and visionary - then maybe they shouldn't address or present the issues prominent IRL.
If the challenges they want our heroes to face are purely related to emotional, psychological and physical turmoil, then maybe they should just focus on THAT, and not add some political/social filler that isn't going to be sufficiently touched upon.
What do y'all think?
