Not a ragtag group of vigilantes. Not a bunch of broken individuals thrown together by chance to overcome even more broken odds. As of Infinity, they are indisputably an army. An army tried and tested in a war for the universe. A war they singlehandedly turned around when they stepped up. They negotiated an alliance between the Skrull, the Kree, the Negative Zone, and the Shi'ar.
They led them in a war against the Builders, the creators of the universe, and despite all odds, they won. They've fought invaders before. They've fought off bad guys and saved the universe before. But not like this. Never as a true army, a unified force. Always as a rogue group, their victories unrecognized or quickly forgotten. No official authority.
But as an army, they've staked their claim to what they've fought for. 'Avengers Worlds'.
No Earth government involved. No official representation. But not only did they claim Earth as their own, under their protection and their protection alone, they took these other worlds as well. Hailed as heroes. No doubt to be spoken of for ages. And they dare anyone to try and attack an Avengers World.
These aren't the acts of a bunch of freaks. It is a true army. A militia. They carry more weight than any Earth government, as far as the government is concerned.
But yet they'll come back to Earth. They'll fight off Thanos and save the world. And then people will forget. They'll ask where they were. Where were the Avengers while the Earth burned. SHIELD will continue to treat them as a rogue force with no authority or clearance until they need them. The governments, tentatively accepting of their help, but only as advisers, or when a threat needs to be dealt with.
So with all this 'Avengers World' thing going on, with the respect the Avengers have banked with the major empires of the universe, do you think they'll start to be recognized by Earth and her governments? Will they begin to get a real official capacity, security clearance, the works? Will they get political benefits, since the Skrull, Kree, and Shi'ar are more likely to speak with the good Captain before the President? And so on.
Put simply, now that the Avengers are a true army and acting like it, with real authority, is this the dawn of a new age? How do you think this will effect the future, and the Avenger's role on Marvel Earth, or in the Marvel Universe in general?
