    Could it be that after milking that sorry Marvel franchise for all it was worth for years, Disney fails to excite people with their nth ultra-samey, ultra-low-originality rehash?

      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.

        Disney bought them out after like the third or fourth movie, MCU is pretty much just Disney.

        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.

              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.
