So if you need help but the Avengers don't think your problem is important enough, then they won't help you?
So if a little girl needs to be rescued from a fire, then you should call Superman but don't call the Avengers because that's below their pay grade?
And if your neighborhood is flooded and you're on the roof of your house needing to be rescued, then you should call Superman but don't call the Avengers because that's below their pay grade?
And if your town is being occupied by enemy soldiers and you want your town liberated but your town is really small, then you should call Wonder Woman but don't call the Avengers because that's below their pay grade?
And if you work in a grocery store and you're being robbed at gunpoint, then you should call the Flash but don't call the Avengers because that's below their pay grade?
And what exactly is the Avengers' pay grade? How much do the Avengers get paid to help people? They probably get paid a lot since most of them (e.g. Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, Wanda Maximoff, Natasha Romanoff, Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers) aren't independently wealthy like Bruce Wayne is and don't have regular jobs like Clark Kent, Diana Prince, and Barry Allen do so getting paid to be an Avenger is their only source of income. (Well, maybe Steve Rogers got paid to make all those PSAs too, but probably not enough to live off of.)

The same thing happens in real life too. You don't call the FBI to report crimes that can be solved by local law enforcement.

Thanks to the Accords telling them where they can and cannot go, we are now seeing the consequences.
Great thing, those Accords.

Come on man! I go to the MCU board for MCU discussion and I go here for DCEU discussion.
Stop mixing them up.

(Well, maybe Steve Rogers got paid to make all those PSAs too, but probably not enough to live off of.) They were paid by Stark to be Avengers. They are on the run now. Looking at Roger's suit in those PSAs he made them before Winter Soldier. Also, if you bothered watching the movie, you can see what Stark did about the flying monster that was below his pay grade. The Vulture was a street level criminal. The Avengers is there for bigger, world ending events. As for natural disasters. Unless it happened during a fight they were having with a villain or the villain caused it to get them there (which makes it not a natural disaster) they most likely won't do rescue operations. The Avengers really aren't there to deal with natural disasters. Something that the military and Coast Guard is there for. Wonder Woman was there. She wouldn't go around the world liberating small towns. Yes because a guy robbing your store would allow you to stop giving him/her the money so you can call the Flash. Barry Allen was in the store at the time. Also, Batman won't go after a guy dressed like a clown when the mob is more important until that clown got more dangerous when he was constantly reminded by the cops. |

They were paid by Stark to be Avengers. So they're paid to be Avengers? So if they weren't paid to be Avengers, would they still be Avengers? Probably not, since they have source of income and would have to get regular jobs. And more importantly, why do they have to be paid to be Avengers? Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg don't get paid to be part of the Justice League and help people. They do it because it's the right thing to do. Why do the Avengers have to be paid to be Avengers? They are on the run now. Looking at Roger's suit in those PSAs he made them before Winter Soldier.
Why would any high school show PSAs of a fugitive wanted for aiding and abetting a murderer to escape from the authorities? That would be like a high school football coach showing PSAs of O.J. Simpson to the football team. Doesn't matter if O.J. made those PSAs before the murders, no high school would show PSAs of O.J. Simpson to their students.
Likewise with Captain America. He's now a fugitive wanted for aiding and abetting a murderer to escape from the authorities. No high school would show PSAs of a wanted criminal to their students. |

Yes, they would be Avengers if they weren't paid expenses for a job they are doing. In the comics, Spider-man was a reserve member of the team. He'd help out when they needed him. But he wasn't being paid. When he became a full time member he moved into the tower. They aren't being paid to be Avengers. They are being paid because they are Avengers not to be Avengers. It's a full time job to them. They are on call around the clock like any public servant (fireman, paramedic, police). They addressed Cap's PSA videos in the movie. The coach asks why are they still showing these when he should be a war criminal. What would Cyborg do if he wasn't a superhero? Does he have a job besides being in the Justice League? Also, the DCU is more of a fantasy world than the MU (which is more sci-fantasy). That's why most of their characters are rich. Even Superman. Yes Superman is actually rich and doesn't have to work or pay rent. He does it to feel human. He can live in the Fortress of Solitude if he wants. And there is plenty of food there. He also has technology that he can sell that would trump both Wayne and Luthor Corp. |

Victor Stone is a college student so he attends school and does schoolwork when he's not helping out the Justice League. Superman is actually rich and doesn't have to work or pay rent. Clark Kent isn't rich. He lives on a newspaper reporter's salary and pays rent for the apartment that he shares with Lois. Seriously, if Clark Kent was rich, don't you think he would've bought his mother a big house to live in?He also has technology that he can sell that would trump both Wayne and Luthor Corp. That technology is alien technology which (unlike Tony Stark, who made billions selling weapons of mass destruction) Superman / Clark Kent would never sell to anyone for profit. |

At this point why even separate the MCU and DCEU boards? Just combined them. Assholes like DC-Fan keep posting the same shit on both boards. |

How is he paying for college? Does he have a job? Clark is trying to live as a human, but he has an ice castle in the arctic. And Stark is atoning for what he did. So you saying that Superman is holding on to all the technology that can create medicine that can save millions of people for himself? He's a monster. |

How is he paying for college? Does he have a job? Have you never heard of these things called "scholarships"? Also, almost all colleges offer their students some kind of financial aid or student loans. Clark is trying to live as a human, but he has an ice castle in the arctic. And what are the real estate values in the Artic? If Superman were to put his "ice castle in the Artic" on the market, how much would he be offered for that compared to a mansion in Beverly Hills or even just a condo in Manhattan? |

Doesn't matter, Superman has a Palace with amazing technology he can live in anytime he wants. And he can make diamonds out of coal anytime he wants. That he doesn't do so for his family shows a casual cruelty from him.

At this point, as long as people give him what he wants...an argument, he'll keep doing it. And as you can see in this thread...he's getting exactly what he wants. |

By getting a job after they graduate.
That's how student loans work. You don't begin paying back the loan until 6 months after you graduate. That gives you 6 months to find a job after you graduate and then you can start paying back the loan.

This is hilarious. Once again DC-Fan's obsession with bureaucracy in the comic book world has raised it's head.
I look forward to a discussion on what insurance coverage the Avengers have.
