>> Question, how close is your version of Nick Fury to the movie versions? <<
Fairly close. If I'd been writing him from scratch, I would've made very different decisions. Much of what he does up through The Avengers is batshit crazy. So I had to come up with ways of justifying that well enough to avoid mangling my plot. In The Winter Soldier his actions are more logical and he's not causing massive damage with friendly fire.
>> I'm thinking about the "did he even know JARVIS is a person?" in the context of The Winter Soldier - where he's obviously got some sort of moderately advanced AI accessible to him, but what little you see of him relating to it suggests (to me anyway) that he views AIs pretty much the same way as humans (which is to say, he's probably kind of a suspicious jerk around them). <<
Fury is the kind of person who inspires Skynet to pull the trigger. (I can't help thinking of I, Robot in which the black hero spent most of the movie treating the robots like n*gg*rs. That movie's meta has meta, there is so much of it.) Most of the people who wind up working with artificial intelligence are the kind who ought not to be trusted with a goldfish, let alone a human infant or a baby AI. Abused children often grow up to be violent. So yes, I think Fury's behavior around AI would be indifferent to abusive.
Which is, as I observed earlier, the same as he treats human beings.
