I definitely get doing it with established, fictional characters, it makes sense to make your own stories using characters that already aren't real, but fics focused entirely around shit like, Obama or Scarlet Johanssen or Elon Musk, the point seems completely lost.
In Marvelverse I assume the characters being famous celebrity superheroes still makes it exciting to write your own fantasies about their adventures, but them being real to them paints it in a very unusual shade for me, I can only imagine with all the shit 616 citizens see that we don't because it's off-panel they must get some unheard of ideas.
