To drag this debate down, I find it interesting that in the Marvel universe you could have put "a static, unchanging reality that we are only able to perceive in a limited way due to our fundamental limitations as finite humans" into the mouth of Doctor Doom word for word and it would fit right in ("Books of Doom" has him saying pretty much exactly that to his physics teacher as a teen), perhaps with a few minor changes ("our" to "your", probably, as the character would not want to include himself amongst mere "finite humans").
When the right writers get hold of one of the more interesting characters, there's a surprising amount of nods to philosophy to be found.
As a side note, I find it amusing how closely this debate parallels one of our own debates in the programming community: functional vs imperative programming.
