If they are filming in Atlanta, it’s a good thing they didn’t go with team BlueWithout Tony Stark to bank roll the Avengers, they've had to resort to corporate sponsorships.

Sure the past can stay grounded, but that doesn't mean the future can't go totally off the wall fuckin' bonkers.
Taking the characters out of the comfort zone would not destroy any of the development they've gotten, and could actually give them a lot of interesting new development as we see them having to deal with something different from what they usually deal with.
When a character usually deals with something with their guns or fists, suddenly throwing them into a situation where they have to deal with something that can't be solved with a gun or fist can give us some of their best stories, as we see them struggle to find a new type of solution.
And besides we already saw them as part of the big battles at the ends of Infinity War and Endgame, so it's not like they haven't encountered aliens and magic before.
The comics that had Captain America fight a mutated Ronald Reagan who had been turned into a Snake-Man?
Yup. That's some seriously grounded shit right here.

Captain America, like Batman, works best in a more "real world" style setting with fantastic features added to it. Flying cars and mutated monsters but in a setting that seems like we can visit. Cosmic adventures with Cap and Batman are better left for when they are working with their teams.
I feel that‘s why it was such a big deal when Natasha and Clint took their space trip... just like Budapest, you know?
You and I remember Budapest very differently.
I guess this will be a running gag forever but i honestly want to know what went down in Budapest? Is the city even still there?
I'm talking about great comics, not creatively bankrupt shit. Yes, there is a difference.
..and some of those characters should have been killed in Endgame, particularly anyone who is not superpowered (especially when you consider how top level heroes such as Thor, Iron Man and Captain America--the latter even after using the hammer--all struggled and were pretty much losing to Thanos). The idea of non-superpowered characters facing off against threats capable of destroying worlds has always been a problem in comics, unless the writer was intelligent enough to write those limitations into the conflict. That has been incredibly rare.
"Captain America No More!" is considered one of the best Cap stories. So again, you don't know your comics.
It's comics, sometimes you just have to accept the crazy.
@TREK_GOD_1, I honestly don't understand how you can call yourself a comics or superhero fan when you seem to hate everything that actually makes them unique. Yeah, sometimes the stuff is just plain bad, but it's that ridiculous, crazy shit that makes comics and superheroes really stand out from other forms of media.

Found it to be a retread of the superior Englehart/Buscema run from the previous decade. Good but not great.
Was that when he became Nomad for the first time?
Yep. Also introduced the Serpent Squad and the 50's Cap plus it gave Peggy Carter a name and brought her into modern day stories. Oh and gave The Falcon his wings.
I prefer the Grunwald story. To each, their own.
The 70s were my prime comics reading time. My "Golden Age" and "Wonder Years".
It was garbage, then again, your experience with comics is rather limited, so I m not shocked that you are trying to sell that.
The best of all Cap stories were published between 1964 - 1975, when writers who really knew the character & made him one of the most compelling characters (playing into his status in one of America's darkest stretches of time) whether he was wearing a costume or not.
Says you. It was essentially the inspiration for Reign of the Supermen, Knightfall and those other copycat plots. Executed better as well.
The story that introduced the Falcon was good. But Gruenwald was one of the best Cap writers. Super Patriot, Diamondback and Flag Smasher were good introductions to the Cap Mythos.
