The knight passing by Marvel

Chapter 864 The power of public opinion

Time passed day by day, public opinion continued to ferment, and the discussion on whether Stark was a good guy or a bad guy never subsided.

However, neither Stark Industries nor Stark can issue a lawyer's letter and file a lawsuit like before. After all, they didn't spread rumors, and all they produced were real evidence. How dare you say that they didn't cause so many casualties and property losses?Do you dare to say that you were not the one who beat Opadry and the whip?

It can only be clarified, clarified, and clarified again, but if the clarification of rumors can be quelled, there will not be so many rhythms.

Under the impetus of caring people, this big discussion has developed to the point where the Avengers have the right to kill those people, and is there any law supporting them to kill people?Even if it is a righteous act, is there any department that will review the Avengers' "championage" and confirm that it is indeed necessary and legal for them to kill people?
When the building crooked here, Spider-Man was immediately involved. As a good neighbor of Yiyue, he has maintained law and order in Yiyue City for a long time. Not everyone likes him, there are many people who hate him.

The Bugle Daily, in response to this turmoil, published several consecutive issues of the newspaper, all of which criticized Spider-Man's reckless actions, in the name of fighting crime, infringing on the freedom of citizens, and also involving crimes such as intimidation, invasion of privacy, and trespassing.

J. Jonah Jameson, the owner of the Daily Bugle, personally got off the stage and wrote several articles criticizing Spider-Man’s right to tie and hang people with his silk. The suspect, and Spider-Man is not a policeman, and has no right to arrest people.

Flying around the city with spider silk all day long, it is easy to see other people's privacy from the window, and stick the silk thread to other people's windows, which is breaking into private houses and encroaching on citizens' finances.

The random criticism made Spider-man say that he is the kind of heinous villain with sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet. He should be arrested immediately, sent to prison, and locked up for 80 years to show the majesty of the law.

However, compared to other people, Spider-Man's reputation is still very good. Immediately, many people who have been helped by Spider-Man stood up to speak for Spider-Man, saying that Spider-Man is an indispensable hero. His existence The crime rate of breaking contracts has dropped a lot, and many people have been saved.

J. Jonah Jameson immediately retorted, if he was a good man, why did he cover his face, and what was the purpose of covering the face when he went to the bank and the store?

A media person with a keen sense immediately invited J. Jonah Jameson and those who supported Spider-Man to the show. They competed on the spot and debated whether Spider-Man is a good guy or not.It seems that the outcome of their debate can determine whether Spider-Man is a good guy or a bad guy.

Other programs have also followed suit, inviting two groups of people to debate whether other Avengers members are good or bad, but the number of Avengers is limited, and late shows can only discuss whether the Avengers’ significance to the world is beneficial or harmful. As well as the impact of the existence of the Avengers on the world, there is also a program that conducts street interviews, asking whether they are worried about the Avengers' abuse of force.

Throughout May, the Avengers occupied the top ten of all hot search lists, as if returning to the winter of 2012, the Avengers, who made their first appearance and fought against the Chitauri, shocked the world, just like now, No topic can compare to The Avengers.

It's just that at that time, the Avengers were full of praise, yearning and love, but now they are mixed.

But this is just the opinion of the people. Few of the upper-level politicians like the Avengers Alliance, because this organization is not controlled by them, and each of them is superior in force, with the ability to turn the table. No one likes to rule. Such rebellious guys are obedient and obedient, which is their favorite mode.

They all selectively ignore the contributions of the Avengers, and only talk about the damage caused by the Avengers. After all, politicians have already fed their consciences to dogs, and virtues such as double standards are necessary. Politicians, talking nonsense with open eyes, and turning black and white are good qualities, so they will not go far on the road of politicians, and it is common for them to fall into pits and die.

No one knows how things developed to this point, but everyone knows that there must be an invisible big hand pushing behind, and then more hands appear, pushing things to the detriment of the Avengers, and Stark Industries The media under its control seemed so weak in this turbulent tide of sentiment.

Inside the Avengers Building, Parker sat on the sofa with his head down, pursed his lips and said nothing, but his trembling shoulders revealed his inner unrest. He didn't understand why he had done so many good things, and there would be people Think he is a bad person, and still slander him?
Dr. Banner also stood expressionless, staring at the sky outside in a daze. Only Rhodes said indignantly: "Are they blind? How many things have we done, how many enemies that endangered the earth and mankind have been eliminated, Without the Avengers, I don’t know how many people would die, but now.”

Rhodes' black face was about to turn red with anger. He saw how hard the Avengers worked and how many dangers they experienced. In the end, after doing so many things, this is what they got in return?Then what else to do, let the earth be destroyed, see if this group of people are still BB.

Stark turned his head and looked at Greer, who also had an ugly face, and said, "Remember? I told you in Los Angeles once, don't think that public opinion is useless. The world is not powerful enough to handle everything. , if hundreds of media and one or two thousand celebrities say that you are a villain without mercy, then you will be a villain even if you are kind.

As long as some people want to, they can use public opinion to turn good people into villains, devils, and murderers, and then cause panic among the public. Then, under the guise of eliminating harm for the people, they can openly do something that only serves their purpose. And pass all the mistakes on to you. "

Greer nodded. That conversation touched him a lot. Coupled with other reasons, he chose to follow Stark instead of following S.H.I.E.L.D. or continuing to hide his identity and live his own life.

Stark pointed to the countless posts on the holographic projection and videos with different protagonists, and said: "Look, this is the stupid reality. In front of public opinion, even smart people don't have the authority to obtain enough information. They You can’t make correct judgments, so it’s easy to control.”

Greer gave a wry smile and a long sigh, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness, killing people with lip service, and finally saw it, stronger than fists, calmer than knives, and less bloody than guns.
