Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 5904405" data-attributes="member: 177">I think it was more "let us continue with how most of the current movies are informed by the Marvel Ultimates line," as the Ultimates line establishes the Chitauri - beating the Chitauri is pretty much the first thing the "Ultimates" (the Avengers in the Ultimates line) do.  And the Ultimates Chitauri *do* shapeshift.  It just isn't a major concern while they're invading.In standard Marvel continuity (such as it is) humans encounter first the Skrulls, then the Kree (and the Kree-Skrull War), and then the Shi'ar come around.  While they are not forced to, there's something to be said for taking inspiration from that timeline.I have to disagree that this is the case.  While there are classic pairings of villains to hero groups, Marvel has by no means been siloed.  Pick a major villain - he or she has probably fought every major hero group in the Marvel universe.  Ha!  Really.  Dude, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Team-Up" target="_blank">Marvel Team-Up</a>. They've been mixing Spidey into other lines for decades.  Outside of the team-up line, he's had guest stars from lots of other lines in his books, and been a guest star frequently.  If there's one poster child for marvel *not* being siloed, it is Spider Man.</blockquote>
