You know its funny. I was just thinking earlier today about Comics and how they portray Earth. In Marvel how many times have we had interactions with Aliens and advanced technology? Even more so with DC? Yet non of the tech invariably falls down to the common people.
Weve seen representations of Space Stations, Galactic level battle fleets, alien invasions, and inventions of the greatest minds earth can offer. Yet everyday people and military organizations who arent important Never advance beyond what we are. Tony Stark and Reed Richards, 2 of the smartest men in the world dont have time to build something to help humanity as a whole?. Shi"ar aliens have helped only the Xmen with suits and tech, Oa of the GL"s has never helped Earth recover despite many cosmic level events originating and focusing earth. Also like in Thor #3 when Thor beats the shit out of Iron Man he talks about where the heroes were to fight back the tides of water that flooded New Orleans.
I find it all strange that no Cosmic/Galactic council has tried to bring earth into its fold and regard it inconsequential to the universe despite the constant attention cosmic entity"s give it and how often "shit just happens" goes on.
What I find Ironic is that I was thinking all this earlier today and I come home to find out Marvel is making a series somewhat dealing about the alien thing.
Im not ranting or anything and I dont mean to sound like I am, but I just find it a bit odd from time to time.
