Mr. Byrnes ("release the hounds") I couldn't disagree with you more. As I do value your perspective towards the subject matter...I think THAT single thing is one of the most important aspects of the medium transfer from comic to little screen and big screen.

grounding (which occurs on many different levels) = lessening the original amount of the fantasy aspect while lending itself to more "real world" realism.

In my opinion, this started with the Ultimate Universe(on a larger level) and was one of the reasons why I 'originally' liked it so much. When you start adding touches of "real worldism" to the writing...it makes it more relate-able..like okay..THAT thing that just happened is more along the lines of what would happen in REAL LIFE, even though, yes..we are referring to a world full of super-powered people in tights.
Real world issues, real world themes, real world repercussions.
I also believe the current Marvel Cinematic Universe is based more off of the "way" the Ultimate Universe worked, it IS in a sense more grounded than stories were in comics PRIOR to the Ultimate Universe, the kind of writing that you really only used to get in the Marvel MAX books.

The Neflix movies, though in the same MCU are even more grounded and contain much less "fantasy" aspects...almost to the point where...it's a guy/girl with powers that lives in OUR ACTUAL world. I believe even more people can relate to that even though it may isolate purist of the comic genre.
I happen to LOVE what they have done with the Netflix series so far and hope it continues to grow.

No matter what medium you love that actual comics have given birth to, we (READS: YOU NERDS) at this point have so much to choose from...its a great time to be a fan.

Triv.....you and I are cool and all....but you talk about my girlfriend(one of many) like that again and Imma have to test that jaw.

SIDE NOTE: This is my official disclaimer that no matter how bad i talk about an action figure before its release, I may still buy it and love it. ..
I STILL think pics of the BAF Juggernaut are off, and his proportions look weird, and that the MS one has a better sculpt, BUT. i am REALLY diggin' this BAF one in person....to me he's a damn near perfect fit for the Marvel Universe line.
