    IIRC Marvel has handwaved this through an actual government agency who’s job is to fix shit quick. Department of Damage Control IIRC, very steeped in realist humor, and I mean actual school of realism not cult of “wahmenz in super hero movies is unrealistic!”

      I would say it was commendable, but they ignore it completely when convenient and Civil War barely even scratched the surface of the concept in an actually story-impacting way.

      It was a private company (owned partially by Wilson Fisk and Tony Stark) in the comics.

        No, realism is looking at a fantastical setting from the frame of the mundane.

        IE what a morning commute is like in a city running on magic

          Associating daily mundanity with the real isn’t very scientific. It’s just a politically motivated false association designed to push a conservative agenda.

            A working class centric narrative in a fantasy setting is pushing a conservative agenda?

              No, calling it realism is pushing a conservative agenda. Because you’re mixing up consensus reality, which is a bourgeois tool of oppression, with the experiences of the working class. Thereby normalising the oppression we face from the realist bourgeoisie.

              It’s like going around saying Star Wars is a piece of homophobic media just because Luke Skywalker is a farmer and you want to push a narrative that farmers are intrinsically homophobic. It’s not true.

                  No, consensus reality is bourgeois oppression. It’s continually served as a justification for genocides all over the world for hundreds of years
