I think we can all agree that the Tony Stark and Captain America secret gay romance is bullshit.
He's clearly banging Bruce Banner.

The National Enquirer can't even handle what the Avengers get up to according to many places on the Internet (also my head).
I think I've seen this site before but if it wasn't on Metafilter and it wasn't the people who have already commented in this thread, I'm not sure how I would have seen it.

This is pretty great. I'd love to see the actors' reactions to seeing this kind of treatment of their characters instead of themselves.

I haven't seen it yet, but from what I've read, I feel like there is potential for some of this stuff to actually happen in the Agents of SHIELD TV show, yes/no?

The Whelk: "I have this long standing and bizarre fixation on the idea of Superheros having to navigate a modern celebrity media landscape (You know someone is a social media aide somewhere), appearing as both world-saving heroes and objects of speculation, gossip, etc so basically - thank you."
The same here, although I extend it to how superheros deal with the more mundane things, too, like grocery shopping or walking their 19 foot tentacular alien dog...

When I was still pitching to Marvel and DC I noticed how I never wanted to tell stories of superheroes punching things, it was always being in the bathroom at an awards ceremony or listening in on a congressional hearing while preparing notes.

This guy doesn't use 616 comics canon, just the MCU canon... I kinda rage-clicked out of there. I'm sorry, I like the comics!

You could actually introduce differing canons into this world by realizing that there would certainly be comic books, novels, video games, etc. about these real life superheroes. Does Tony Stark endorse the Iron Man Saga video game series or the Armored Avenger movies? Maybe Natasha Romanoff stars in her own "based on the true story" biopic that takes some major liberties with her early career? How realistic is the Timely Comics Agents of SHIELD comic book series?

Isn't that half of Millar's run on The Ultimates and a good chunk of Kurt Busiek's Astro City?
