Just a rip off of first X-men movie

Think about it -

Iron man = Cyclops (shoots red energy sh!t from body parts)
Captain America = Wolverine (Enhanced with experimentation)
Hulk = Jean Grey (Dual personalities Hulk/Banner & Phoenix/Jean Grey)
Thor = Storm (controls Lightning & good looking)
Hawkeye = Rogue (Useful to villain's evil plan but a bit useless otherwise)
Loki = Magneto (Evil British villain with good acting chops)
Nick Fury = Professor X (Baldy weirdo telling everyone what to do)
Black Widow = Mystique (good at hand to hand combat & red haired)
Evil plan involves attack on New York.
Good guys win.
Man did the Avengers writers even try to hide the fact they were basically copying the sh!t out of x-men?

Did you mean to post this? I mean, besides the fact that all of the characters not only come from the same source, but most of The Avengers pre-date the X-Men. 

It's true! Every word of it.

LOL So you agree with yourself?

This is hardly a rip-off. Though certainly the MCU wouldn't exist today if it weren't for the comic book movies that precede it. Blade, X-Men, Spider-Man and even the Nolan films.

Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late)

Chitauri, or naughty mutants. Not sure which. Doesn't matter though, they're the same thing anyway.

[–] justanicknamed 8 years ago

Yeah, those naughty mutants almost destroyed an entire city while trying to take over the world.



Seriously. Lay off the meth.

[–] Toffeepop 8 years ago

Seems counter productive doesn't it? There'd be no place nice to chill out and mutate with friends if the city is a mess.

[–] Socialman 8 years ago

Mutate ? I know they had a skin condition, but I wouldn't go around calling them mutants for that.

I would, disgusting mutants, we must do all we can to keep them away from beautiful people like us.

They both had a story.

They just weren't the same.

"And then I told them, 'X-Men actually had a story with it.'

"I know, right? Total mic-drop moment. I wish I could have seen all their faces after this sick burn."
