    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
