They could be tired of the never - ending cycle of fighting. They've saved the world multiple times, but new threats keep emerging. It's like a Sisyphean task, and they've reached a point where they just can't bear it anymore. So they refuse to keep fighting.
Perhaps they've realized that fighting isn't the real solution. In the fanfic, they might have come to understand that the root causes of the world's problems are things like inequality, poverty, and environmental degradation. And instead of using brute force to stop the symptoms (the villains), they want to focus on fixing the real issues.
One possible reason could be that they are disillusioned with the world's political powers. Maybe they see that their previous battles have been exploited by those in power for their own gain, and they no longer want to be pawns. For example, they might have noticed that the destruction they've tried to prevent has been used as an excuse for certain governments to impose harsher control on their people.
One possible reason could be moral conflicts. For example, if the fight involves harming innocent civilians, some Avengers might refuse. Another reason could be internal disagreements within the team. Maybe they don't trust the motives behind the fight or the leadership in that particular fanfic scenario. Also, they could be exhausted from previous battles and simply not in the physical or mental state to engage in another fight.
It could create a rift. Some Avengers might still believe in fighting, while others are firmly against it. For instance, Captain America, who has always been about duty and fighting for what's right, might be at odds with Iron Man, who could be more cynical after seeing the consequences of their actions. This would lead to a lot of internal conflict within the group.
Another reason could be that he is being pressured not to take part. This pressure could come from his friends or mentors. They might think that the tournament is too risky for Harry, especially considering his past encounters with danger. They could be worried that the tournament is just a way for his enemies to target him more easily. So, they persuade him to refuse, and he listens to their concerns.
One reason could be that he values his mortal connections. His relationships with his friends and family are deeply rooted in the mortal world. Immortality might separate him from them, as they would age and die while he remains unchanged. For example, his bond with his mother is very strong, and he wouldn't want to lose that human connection.
If the Avengers refuse to fight in a fanfic, the plot could develop in a way that explores the consequences of inaction. Maybe the villains start to take over more territory or cause more harm because there's no one to oppose them directly. This can then lead to a situation where the Avengers have to find alternative ways to stop the villains, like using their intelligence or technology. It might also show how the public reacts to their decision not to fight, which could be either supportive or very critical, adding another layer to the story.
Another reason could be loyalty issues. For example, if one of them is suspected of being too friendly with the enemy or making a deal that the other doesn't approve of. In a complex world of fanfic - created politics and relationships, this can be a major cause for a fight.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Peter accidentally gets involved in something that looks bad to the Avengers, like being in the wrong place at the wrong time during a security breach. So they misjudge him and are mean as a result.
In some fanfictions, his family might be involved in dark magic or have a bad reputation. So, Harry Potter refuses them to uphold his own moral values. He is known for his strong sense of right and wrong, and if his family goes against that, he would distance himself.
Another reason could be that Harry has other priorities in the fanfic. He may be more focused on solving a mystery, helping a friend, or achieving a personal goal that doesn't involve fighting. So, fighting is not on his agenda.
Well, perhaps Harry Potter as a character represents hope and kindness. Allowing bullying fanfic would be like tainting his image. In the original story, Harry has been a victim of bullying himself, so it would be inconsistent for him to be associated with content that promotes bullying. Also, the Harry Potter franchise is aimed at a wide audience, including children, and bullying fanfic doesn't fit with the family - friendly and positive nature of the overall franchise.
