Please let at least one superhero storyline, remain true to the original plot of the comics . I know they are trying to appeal to the new generation, but us old folks need a feeling of belonging too.

Thor may have a (slight) chance to remain faithful. Read what Chris Hemsworth says about it. http://www.comicvine.com/news/thor-movie-news-a…
Although, you've probably already heard that they've dropped the pseudo- Shakespearean dialog and change Jane Foster's occupation. http://www.beyondhollywood.com/thor-gets-an-off…
But Kenneth Branagh does claim to be a fan so… maybe…
