Marvel is getting SO lazy with their posters...

I've always loved the Ragnarok poster. That Infinity War poster looks fan made, are we sure it's legit? I get that they're just trying to cram everyone in the film onto one poster, but in particular Wong and Vision look tacked on-- as if they were making a list of who needed to be on the poster and somebody remembered those two at the last minute. Conceptually I don't hate it aside from being too similar to the format of the Ragnarok poster, but it's just too damn crowded. Let's hope that's not indicative of the film itself.

They do look good but I see what you mean. This is something I've seen brought up before. If you look at this image.



You can a lot of similarities, particularly with Iron Man 3 and Thor Dark World and then also Iron Man and Spider-man Homecoming and finally Captain America and Ant-man.

Even this Black Panther poster shares the same kind of design as those in the OP.



Their posters usually try and shove as much of the cast into the poster as possible.

But otherwise they look good enough, the Thor Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 posters were particularly good.

This is usually the problem, and it's most apparent on the Avengers posters because of course they feature the largest casts of prominent characters.  I still think the first Iron Man and Cap posters are great, along with Ragnarok.  This IW poster is overcrowded but at least it's organized.  The previous two Avengers posters look like a kid randomly put stickers of the characters on a blank canvas and called it a poster.

I'll say this: it's a no-win situation, because I'm sure they were trying to avoid backlash if they excluded even the most minor of supporting characters in a movie this big.  "Figures they left out Wong!"  Either way it's an uninspiring poster even if it is an improvement over previous Avengers posters.            

I like them because they hark back to the days when film posters were great pieces of art/decoration.  You don't get it so much anymore but cramming as much as you could on a poster was quite common, especially the 70s and 80s.  Just look at the original, and special edition,  Star Wars posters - it was the standard for blockbuster (and wannabe blockbuster) movies.

My film poster collection sort of diminishes after the early 90's and one reason is a lot of designs were so bland.  If I still bothered to collect, Marvel would be some I would probably buy.  

Also, I like that there is a semblance of branding or consistency. Something I like seeing in my record collection as well.

Not going to lie, I was hoping they would have modeled the poster after the infinity Gauntlet cover art.
