One reason could be that Unusual Suspect is just a really good editor, but another option worth considering is the style – or rather lack thereof – of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some, not all, but some do complain at times about the fictional universe’s lack of visual flair. However, that lack of visual flair doesn’t actually exist because it’s poorly done; it exists so no one property feels out of place. All the movies are of a piece.
Iron Man feels like he can play in Thor’s world because there’s a sense of visual consistency among the franchises, which is of course because they all share the same reality. So, the reason The Avengers can work so well when mashed-up to act like Watchmen is because the franchise itself is, for the case of this argument, a blank canvass that can be made to support any reality. And that’s just one of the many reasons we love the MCU so much.

"A newborn Xenomorph bursting violently from John Hurt’s chest is one of the most iconic, and important, scenes in science fiction or horror movie history. A lot went on before and after Ridley Scott shouted “Action” - we’ll tell you the whole story.
Ridley Scott's Alien is still one of the most terrifying horror films and interesting science fiction films in American Cinema history.
