    They’re just not willing to take the risks they were talking when marvel was still going solo before it’s Disney acquisition. Disney isn’t big on risks.

      What risks did they use to take? As long as I remember the Marvel movies have been formulaic copies

        Giving creative control to specific directors to let their vision shine through the project: Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor Love and Thunder, etc.

        Edit meant Thor Ragnarok the Taika Waititi directed movie.

          I mean, Iron man was like literally the first movie in the MCU (discounting that Hulk movie), it also literally started the trope of Bad Guy has literally the same skillset/power as the good guy that was replicated a bunch of times.

          GotG, and Thor: Ragnarok are the only movies that are unique and carried by their directors.

          Love and thunder is a dumpster fire.

            I think bad guy having the same skillset is really just a superhero trope.

            • Flash vs Zoom
            • Green vs Yellow Lantern
            • Spidey vs Venom
            • Aquaman vs Black Manta
            • Wonder woman vs Ares
            • Green Arrow vs Dark Archer

            I listed DC heroes primarily to show it isn’t just a Marvel thing. But all of these arch enemies are basically evil duplicates of the hero.

            I think the trope largely stems from a “How do you defeat someone who is as powerful/strong as you” kinda thing.

            Ah I think Thor Ragnarok was what I meant, the Taika Waititi directed movie

      Some of the TV shows have been more creative. The current movies are just rehashes though.
