Line 139:
* Avengers Prime: [[Captain America (comics)]], who was dating Sharon Carter at the time, who happens to be his primary love interest and has been on-and-off for over forty years, cheats on her by kissing an elf girl in one of the nine realms. He doesn't regret it right after, he doesn't feel guilty. One might get the feeling that [[Brian Michael Bendis]], the series writers, simply didn't do the research. Until the end of the series, when he kisses her again, in view of both [[Iron Man]] and Thor. Who then have a chuckle and remark, "Isn't he dating someone on Earth?" So yes, Bendis DOES know the character is dating someone, and he doesn't give a shit, portraying the Marvel Universe's pinnacle of heroism, morality and character as cheater, and his two closest friends who are among the finest heroes of MU as a pair of douche-bros.
* The over-arching plot in ''Avengers Vs X-Men'' is that the Phoenix Force is returning to Earth, keying in on Hope Summers. The Avengers and a few of the X-Men want to try and hide Hope from the Phoenix, fearing that if the Phoenix gained a human host, it would be [[Dark Phoenix Saga|Dark Phoenix]] all over again. Among the current X-Men is Rachel Summers... the last human host of the Phoenix Force, who wielded the power for years as a hero and never once went as out of control as The Avengers have talked about. You'd think someone, like say Wolverine, who is an Avenger and knew both Rachel and Jean Gray, would mention this. Nope. You'd think the X-Men - many of whom, like Logan, were teammates with both Phoenixes - would mention this or the fact that Jean didn't really go crazy until her mind was mucked with by Mastermind? Again, nope. Rachel herself? ''Again. '''No.''' '' Basically the laziest, dumbest [[Excuse Plot]] ever devised to set up a [[Crisis Crossover]] EVER. (and with competition like Civil War and Dark Reign, that's saying something.)
* ''Captain America: Steve Rogers #1'' just revealed that after the 'Secret Wars' continuity reboot of 2015, Steve Rogers is now and has been since the 1930s ''a double agent for HYDRA''. Yes, that's right, Captain America was secretly a Nazi world domination cultist all along. I believe I speak for the entire fanbase here when I say '''what the fucking hell?!?'''
** Sure, its almost certainly going to be retconned into 'Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!' territory within six months, but seriously, Steve Rogers going "Hail Hydra!"? You shouldn't do that crap for even six ''seconds'', unless you're well into What If territory. Which this is not.
