I’ve always found it weird when world threatening events are typically concentrated in one country but it is to be expected that the majority of media from a country will take place in that country.
If the MCU were more realistic, there ought to be more international heroes but somehow almost all the earth heroes seem to be American (the only exception I can think of is Black Panther). I like that The Incredibles 2 features international heroes.
I also used to find it weird how in Digimon, the saviours of a whole other world just happen to all be from Japan. The second season brought in international digidestined but it doesn’t change the fact that the ones who traveled to the digiworld to fight evil in the first season happened to all be from one small area of Japan
There really aren’t enough international characters but you forgot Wanda (Scarlet Witch), or her brother Quicksilver. Thor seems American but is from Asgard, Professor X is British I believe, Nightcrawler is German or Dutch I think… I’m sure there are more I’m not thinking of but at least there are some.
I’m embarrassed I forgot about Wanda, she’s one of my favourites. To be fair, she is living in America for much of the franchise. I also almost mentioned Shang-Chi, he’s originally from China and most of his movie is set in China but he also grew up in America. The X-men aren’t really part of the MCU yet but they will be in Doomsday. Wolverine is already part of the MCU and he’s Canadian. As for Thor, I wasn’t counting him as an earth hero because Asgard is another planet.
