Marvel / comic book based movies?
How many of you read comic books and find disturbing when a movie doesn't follow the exact comic book lines (like villains' powers, gadgets that heroes use and so on) ? And please tell me your age, i'm kind of curious. Also, i didn't read any comic book, ever (my country doesn't sell those). Question is in relation to iron man 3, as you may have guessed.
yeah pete, that's how i see it, but i can't believe my eyes when i see the source of discontent on the imdb boards

Most of the time, no. They alter characters and scene's from the book, so I think of it like it's something else entirely... It's the same with ordinary reading books, such as The Hunger Games. I bet the people who only watched the movie doesn't know who Madge is... You can't expect a movie to be exactly the same as the thing it's based on... it would take too long to explain the story and the audience will lose interest if nothing happens but a bunch of people explaining stuff on the screen...

It doesn't bother me at all. I consider the movie to be a separate entity from the comic. You have to consider that the movie is catering to a much wider audience than a comic, and that wider audience doesn't know every little detail of the comic-book universe. Take for example, in X-Men part 3 they made it so that Jugernaut was a mutant when anyone who's read the comics knows he is not a mutant. Didn't bother me at all, because I know it would have taken too long to explain the real source of his powers to the general movie audience.
