God some part of me hopes Marvel absolutely butchers one of their flagship characters so others realize how much of an issue this is.

Have you seen the X-Men movies? They've destroyed most of those characters to revolve everything around Wolverine. Emo-whiny Iceman instead of fun never take anything seriously Iceman? Storm - From Weather Goddesss of Africa to "The same thing that happens to everything else." These aren't flaghsip Marvel characters, but they are Flagship X-Men characters.

And don't get me started on Cyclops. One of Marvel's most interesting characters, their best leader next to Rogers, is reduced to being just "a dick." And that's it. He doesn't get to do anything and is never a leader. Trust me, there is a ton of frustration there, Singer just makes better overall movies so some of that, outside of Cyclops, is forgivable. I recognize that they are often good movies, and I even enjoy them, but I HATE the way many of the characters are handled.

Granted they did get some characters right.
