>>106075961>Ah yes everyone remembers Marvels “bottom of the barrel” heroes Iron Man, Captain America and Thor.They've taken a backseat to the likes of the X-Men since the mid-80s an even into the mid-aughts, and were still overshadowed by the likes of Superman and Batman before that. Captain America was big during World War 2 and a few decades after, but he was never as popular as a draw or pervasive in the public's eye as Superman for the longest time, Iron Man even less so, and Thor was still largely remembered as a pagan god wielding a gimped hammer.
>Thank god you didn’t go wide enough with your bullshit assumption or you’d have to convince everyone here that no one knew who Spider-Man or the X-men were.Retard, I said the MCU, the X-Men aren't involved in that and started their universe when they were still the hottest kids on the block, Spider-Man is only on loan from Sony, and the Avengers core characters have been doing fine well before he came along.
Any yokel for the longest period of time could point as Superman's shield and identify it as Superman's. You'd have far less success with someone trying to even name drop Captain America just by looking at his shield, much less to someone outside of the US. The Guardians of the Galaxy weren't big with people who read comics, more people probably knew about Atom Ant than Ant-Man, and more people knew and cared about the fucking Dr. Strangelove movie more than Dr. Strange.
