An easy example, in Age of Ultron we see Iron Man fighting alongside the other avengers, awesome opener! Just one small problem, Tony is retired! He hung up the armor, he was done. But in Age of Ultron he's right back into it, no explanation.However, where you are right, and in my opinion the most important part of the argument....is that the characters are consistent, even when the plot is not. And when they change...you understand why they changed. Thor is a very different character between Thor 1 and 2....because Thor 1 both softened him up and taught him greater responsibility. Iron Man goes from playboy to the "man on the wire" because of the events of the movies. But otherwise the characters remain who they are movie to movie.Even when the plot goes a little wonky (another fun fact, Thanos was not intended for the main villain, Marvel didn't even have a main villain in mind when they made the first series of movies. Joss Wedon put in the Thanos cameo, and the rest was history), the characters see you through. And that is something I think DC dropped the ball on. Of there main 3 (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman), only WW really showed her character in her first movie, and thats one of the reasons everyone like it so much.</blockquote>
