I’m not with the Marvel police accusing anybody of not being a fan here. We’re just sharing and comparing ideas.
When you say they should’ve branched more, does that look like She Hulk? Dr Strange? GotG? Werewolf by Night? They have and do branch out a ton, some of them unsuccessfully and others are very good. So, like I keep hearing that criticism that they should branch out more or they’re all the same but really I think they’ve just had a few under performing movies this last year. The worst movies that Marvel makes feel like paper dolls of something we’ve seen before, yeah agreed. I just take issue with saying all marvel movies are all the same because it doesn’t really talk about why some don’t work and it undercuts the ones that did work, it’s just reductionist. Thor 2 checked all the bare minimum marvel boxes without any substance and sucked, there’s a lot fair criticisms to be made there. Comparing that to She Hulk which was also subpar and the overlap is almost nonexistent.
Like what kind of branching out would you be excited about, Marvels’ Jesus Christ Superstar?
