There DOES seem to be an over abundance of focus on Marvel Earth when you look at the big picture, which is probably why Marvel's actually covered some of it in various stories.Alright Johnny, I'll do what I can to explain what I know and provide some reasonable conjecture that seems to follow the evidence given...
First, you have to realize that Marvel's just taken the traditional mythological format(where there's a God of Fire, God of War, ect) and applied it to a universal scale in regards to it's cosmology. Just as EVERYTHING has a specific God that rules over it here on Earth, EVERYTHING in the universe has a specific abstract that governs it. It just goes to show that no matter how powerful you are, there's always someone bigger. TOAA's obviously just not into micromanaging and prefers to pass the buck. Is all that necessary... of course not. But then again how many Pantheons exist on Earth?
As for the second part(why Earth always wins out in cosmic events and humans are continuously improving themselves to seemingly unattainable levels), the Celestials manipulated both the planet itself and the human genome while mankind was still in its infancy. According to the Stranger, humankind has the potential to eventually mutate to the point that they'll ascend to be the new abstracts when this universe ends and the next begins. Similar in many ways to what happened to Galactus. Just think about it, if the abstracts are destroyed in the destruction of the universe(which they logically should since the destruction of life and sentient beings would mean the destruction of abstract concepts) then where are concepts like Love and Hate going to spring from in a new universe devoid of life? Humanity has destiny working for it because humanity is closer to reaching that point than any other race in the universe so if ANYONE in the universe can drive off Galactus then logic would dictate that it be us. And I know it seems like a stretch that humanity "just happens" to be that one race, but that's only because we're living on it. If there's only one planet in the universe that's going to do it successfully then Earth's chances of being that one planet are just as good as anyone elses planet.
That's why the people of our planet are so prone to mutation and in larger and larger numbers and that's why the human brains like Reed and Doom are able of making leaps in technology that surpass civilizations that are thousands of years older than ours, we're in the running to become the new "big dogs" via genetic keys implanted by the Celestials, it's just taking us a while to get there. The Watcher even told Volcanna that ALL humans have the inner potential for power on a multiversal scale, they just need some kind of trigger to unlock that potential.
As for the villains always having money to fiance their operations, the "tech" dependent were normally scientist who invented their gear, thieves who stole the gear, or are part of/have ties to a wealthy criminal organization like Aim or Hydra. Those organizations are wealthy because they date back to a period before there were 20,000 guys running around in spandex or because they have sufficient influence with the government to swing some "under the table" funding in exchange for things like weapons and black opps services.
And if you were a cop on Marvel Earth how hard would you even try when it came to anyone more dangerous than the average bank robber? I mean, why get within striking distance of someone who can press 10 tons when someone like Spidey or the FF is likely to show up at any moment?
In regards to the drama, well who DOESN'T have it? My life is filled with and I'm actually able to tell people where I'm goin. God only knows what I'd have to deal with if I had to keep it secret.
So there you can go, hopefully that alleviated some of you worries and confusion on comics. If not, just write it all off as PIS 😛 .

Idiot. I'm not complaining about Marvel.
I'm trying to start a debate about whatever or not Marvel, even if we hate it or love it, is one big mess.
It's only fiction, don't let it get to you like something personal.

Now you're flaming too. Enjoy the descent into trollhood.
Basically all you did was complain about the number of superhumans, how strong martial artists were (though the strongest ones are clearly in DC) and then there was some crying about Earth.
