    I’m so sick of timey-wimey shit in comic book movies. Those big crossover arcs were always about editors forcing writers’ hands in an attempt to hand-wave away continuity errors. The fact that some of them became classics that then got turned into movies is testament to how fucking thick the average reader is, despite the “nerd” stereotype.

      Most of the hand-waving in Marvel crossovers has been relatively recent. That’s been more of a DC staple. The older crossovers Marvel has done (the ones that have gotten adaptations) were more just about increasing sales.
