Date: 2019-04-30 02:54 am (UTC)I am quite familiar with the characters, and agree with your assessment of them. In this post, though, I'm not talking about the characters so much as the film plots.
The films are not films about everyman types struggling to reconcile their daily life with their superheroing – they're about the characters not having that struggle. I know they weren't rich, but right now they are all very well funded. They're all basically approved of by the establishment (with the exception of things like Tony Stark being asked to help the establishment more and the whole Hydra issue). And none of them have a secret identity (with the exception, in his first movie, of Thor... kinda).
The characters might qualify as superheroes, but the film plots are not the kind of plots I would expect to see in the superhero genre.
