I liked Marvel when it was more grounded and less cartoon-y

Considering the series started with Iron Man, when was that exactly?
Is that why you didn't like it?
You're welcome to watch the DC films than. They're much more your speed.
Dude. They realified the shit out of the Nova Corps.
What Marvel series would fit that, exactly?
Now you're just saying things for the sake of having something to say.....
I recently rewatched it and couldn't sit all the way through it in one viewing. Idk why but it wasn't as much fun the 3rd time around ( I saw it twice in theaters months ago). I noticed there is a lot of exposition in the film, which I didn't notice before.
Still a solid flick but the magic just isn't there for me anymore.

Yes, less cartoon-y.
Like:
- A man who builds a robotic power-suit out of junk in a middle-eastern cave. He then goes on to build a powered armor with an advanced AI and interface in his garage that's powered by an electro magnet in his chest that basically creates limitless energy.
- A Norse God with a hammer only he can pick-up and summon that allows him to fly.
- A man who was exposed to radiation and chemicals allowing him to grow 2-feet taller and gain 100 pounds of muscle mass. As well as having an enhanced immune system, stamina and physical limits.
- A man who was exposed to radiation and chemicals that causes him to grow several feet and put on several hundred pounds of muscle mass when he reaches a certain emotional state.
- Two perfectly ordinary, if skilled, human beings who're able to take on an army of aliens with advanced weaponry.
Yeah, Marvel really should stay grounded in reality as opposed to going to a "cartoon-y" aspects like a surgically and technologically modified raccoon, an anthropomorphic alien plant, an alien assassin all flying around in a spaceship visiting such exotic places and an alien depot the size of moon, built inside of an alien skull.
THAT'S just too much.
Norse Gods and giant green monsters? Okay!
Talking raccoons and giant alien skulls? Nope!
You left out the most realist part...how his purple pants never split after hulking out.

Maybe Banner started buying bigger sizes after an unfortunate incident at Home Depot that led to him being arrested for public indecency?
He buys pants with stretch materials built in, like lycra and spandex.
Yeah, that was implied in the Norton stand-alone movie. He buys oversized stretchy pants.
Less so than 98% of what reaches the screen these days. It is still the most fun I've had at the movies in over a decade. Nobody was expecting the next Citizen Cain nor should they have.
Betty buys some for him, but he never wears them. He's wearing jeans when he Hulks out at the University and slacks when he battles Abomination.
