Yeah, if memory serves, if someone had superpowers, the choices were to join the Avengers/SHIELD, or get locked away as a criminal.

In the Negative Zone no less.
FINE

Yeah, the forced service part of it really bugged me too. I just didn't buy that anyone would support that. The comics really seemed to focus on the registration and identity portion of the act.

Also, the other day I saw that there were some discussions between Marvel and Sony to allow Spiderman to be in a Marvel movie. Maybe they could put him in this.

After the incident that cause the registration act in the first place?

Will the stink be off Spider-Man in time though?

I can understand the training portion of it if someone chooses to be a hero, but if they don't want to register and just stay at home, throwing them in the negative zone is just stupid.

But do you think the Registration Act is implausible if that's how things played out in the real world? There were a few incidents causing the bill to be drawn up (Hulk rampaging and killing a bunch of people being one) and then, while the bill is being debated a well-meaning hero accidentally killed 600 people including children in schools live on TV - You don't think that bill goes through?

Even if it is a little radical, I don't think it's implausible at all.

One of the things that made it a fantastic event (IMO) is how very realistic the idea is, how you can easily see both sides of the argument.

I do think it is implausible.  I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I do have faith in Marvel that they will be able to make a good movie.

ScottotD

Side bar.

In Marvel history did The Avengers, etc ever come out and say they supported Mutants (or even Spider-Man) so the public and government should maybe leave them alone?  Kind of a dick move if they didn't.

See, they should have sent them to the Friend Zone.  That's just where friends go.  Sadly, no conjugal visits.

Probably - Mutants have been members of the Avengers since almost the beginning.

well, except for the recent avengers vs. x-men storyline.

Oooh that just made me totally realize we need a New Warriors movie before Captain America 3.

I'd like it, but it'll never happen.

THOUGH, I wouldn't rule out the idea of a short New Mutants TV series.

More likely the TV shows will be used to introduce more characters and set up some anti-hero sentiment.

Rainbow Dash

Might be a way to get RDJ out of the series.  Guy makes way too much money on these films, and Civil War could go the "He's not a lovable asshole, he's a despicable piece of shit" route.

I guess? It seems much more likely they'll recast the character rather than get rid of him.
