Very unlikely. It just does not have the depth of the spaghetti western genre.
As Variety said about the latest Star Wars movie:
'Though the series has always been self-aware enough to crack jokes, it now gives in to the same winking self-parody that is poisoning other franchises of late, from the Marvel movies to “Pirates of the Caribbean.” But it begs the question: If movies can’t take themselves seriously, why should audiences?'
If critics of the age are seeing the films as non serious, imagine what a future historian will think. Probably write them off as banker-Wall Street designed movies with more money put into marketing than the productions themselves.
Sure, but what I mean is that when we look back at the heyday of CBMS (the way we look back at Westerns as one of the best examples of a type of movie that is no longer made with any real frequency) we will see that MCU was an industry juggernaut in the era of this type of movie. No one's going to say "That Hellboy movie was the top of the heap!" They're going to say "During this time the most prolific and successful creator of such movies was Marvel Studios which ushered in the era of the shared universe of movies, which DCEU followed, which Universal tried to emulate with their Dark Universe, and which even affected the already successful Star Wars and Fast and Furious franchises."
Don't get me wrong, I'm more of a DC guy myself, but there's no doubt that Marvel has taken the brass ring so far in terms of movies. We are currently in the golden age of CBMs and MCU is the industry leader right now.
