I just want to say off the bat that Marvel has done a pretty good job with their films. Iron Man was awesome, Incredible Hulk hit the nail on the head and at least Spiderman 2 was good. The spirit of the comic was captured, for the most part.
However, one thing that has been pissing me off is the lack of references to other heroes in different movies. What I mean is, why don't they make some reference to Spiderman in the Iron Man film? You see nothing about it in the news reports or anything. And I'm not saying Spiderman should be the fckin co-star of the film, but you know, maybe show Tony reading a newspaper with the headline "Spider man: friend or foe?" or some shit. It's almost as if he doesn't exist, as if he lives in a separate universe or something, which is obviously not the truth.
Iron Man 2 kind of did it by adding that Thor cameo, but really most of the films fail to do this. Isn't Punisher: Warzone set in NYC? Doesn't SPiderman live in NYC? and yet there is absolutely NO hint in the film that New York is occupied by other superheros, actually, a shit ton of them.
Am I being picky? Probably. I just think that it would help tie the movies together like the comics are tied together in the Marvel universe.
