    The Avengers story was just annoying. They literally saved the earth from complete enslavement to an alien invasion, and they must be held accountable for the damage they caused while doing that? Come the fuck on! They didn’t cause that damage, the alien invasion did. Tony and Bruce are supposed to be like the smartest people in the entire world, and neither of them could respond with that basic logic? I hate that fucking storyline.

      New York is all the Asgardians’ fault. If Thor hadn’t gotten himself exiled, Loki wouldn’t have come to Earth and found the Tesseract, so no invasion.

      Sokovia, though, is all Tony’s fault. He built and released an unaligned superhuman AI agent. (Don’t do that, folks; it predictably breaks the planet.)

          No one blames New York on the Avengers, or even on Thor. It only gets serious with Sokovia, which is entirely Tony’s fault going off the rails in secret. It’s also introduced slowly and early, with a woman blaming Tony for her son’s death in Avengers I think (before the Iron Man thing), which starts him early on facing his guilt and responsibility, leading to his fuck-up.
