From Thor to Bucky Barnes, Marvel fans are discussing which characters' MCU origin stories are better than their comic counterparts

Sebastian Stan as Bucky in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Superhero origin stories are the genre's bread and butter – but who does it better, the comic book source material or Marvel's movie adaptations? Fans are discussing which characters get a better backstory on screen, and answers range from Thor to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's villain.

"Some have said that the MCU 'ruin' the comic books but I wanna know what character origin story and personality is better in the films compared to the comic books selves," a Reddit user wrote. "For me as an example, I would say Tony Stark and Steve Rogers origin story are better than the comic. Love the fact that Tony doesn't have a secret identity and that would be something he would do by revealing it to the world and what problem it would lead. As for Steve, I love how him and Bucky are around the same age rather than Bucky being similar to Jason Todd and how they both end up."
