I think I know what the underlying story could be for Phase One. It starts with X-Men, and obviously everyone hates mutants, and Magneto's Brotherhood doesn't help. Then, in my Hulk movie, we see the government working on some anti-mutant stuff, which ends up going wrong and creating the Hulk, who also doesn't help with the world's trust of superhumans by going on a couple destructive rampages. Then, in Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson clearly sees Spider-Man as a menace, which of course he does, he's J. Jonah Jameson. But when you think about it, within this universe so far, it makes sense for Jameson not to trust a superhuman. I was thinking, throughout Phase One, the public isn't very trusting of superhumans. The Hulk is seen as a monster, things between mutants and humans are never all that great, and, while citizens do see Spider-Man as a hero, figures like J. Jonah Jameson and other people in the media, as well as politicans and the like, could see him as a public menace. But then when we get to Avengers, at the very end of Phase One, the Avengers come together and save the world from a huge threat, and that makes superheroes more widely accepted. What do you guys think?
