No, not clear to me, but clear to the reasonable person. There are plenty of things that are clear to me but are not to the reasonable person, and I can easily tell the difference.
I use the "reasonable person" standard - if something is clear to the reasonable person, then it's not up for debate.
As for outside statements and interviews:
1. A writer's opinion can change AFTER a film is completed, or they might even LIE (they're human) to promote a movie.
2. A producer of one film doesn't have artistic control over a character from another film, produced by someone else. Feige could very well believe Hulk is significantly stronger than Namor.
3. Statements mean nothing when they contradict on-screen showings, even if those statements come from within the movie itself.
4. "MOVIE FEATS ONLY!" - that's the rule here.
I guarantee that you and Robtard will troll, ignore every point I made, and just repeat your argument with slightly different wording.
That tells me two things:
1. My argument is too strong to be easily refuted.
2. I've already won the debate.
