It seems like the best marvel movies take the best of the UU and the 616 universe and blend them together to make a good movie. Many of the themes, costume and concept updates from the UU are included, but the characterization is often from the 616 universe.
Examples: The X-Men movies have costumes that more similar to the UXM costumes rather then the 616 universe and the movie X-Men universe is more down to Earth like the early issues of UXM (no time travle or aliens) but the characterization is more like the 616 universe, movie Magneto is still an Anti Villain rather then an evil monster.
In the Spider-Man movie the spider was genetically altered instead of radioactive, but Green Goblin was a guy in a costume, instead of a guy who turned into a goblin.
The best example of this is Iron Man, the theme of a super human arms race was used, some of the fun personality quirks from the UU were added to movie Tony, but movie Tony's origin has an updated version of his silver age origin, rather then the stupid origin we saw in UIM.
So anyway, in upcoming movies like Thor, Captain America and Avengers, what elements should be used from the UU and what elements should be used from the 616 universe?
