Feige noted that he’s made a practice to rewatch the perfect origin story before they begin every MCU production:
"Superman: The Movie is still to this day the archetype of the perfect superhero film origin story and we watch it before we make almost any one of our films, and that’s been the case for the past seventeen years since I left the fold to go work for Marvel."
Now some MCU fans are trying to argue that if MCU movies copied Superman: The Movie, then MCU movies must be great movies like Superman: The Movie is. Or if MCU movies are bad, then Superman: The Movie must be bad too.
But once again, that's a flawed argument by MCU fans. Most people would agree that A Perfect Murder copied Dial M for Murder and would also agree that A Perfect Murder isn't as great a movie as Dial M for Murder is. Another example: Total Recall (2012) copied Total Recall (1990), but Total Recall (2012) isn't as good as Total Recall (1990).
So as you can see, it's very possible for a movie to copy another movie but not be as great or as good as the movie that it copied. And that's exactly the case with MCU movies. MCU movies copied Superman: The Movie, but MCU movies are nowhere as great as Superman: The Movie is.
Also, it just kills formersamhmd to admit that MCU owes its existence to Superman: The Movie and without Superman: The Movie, there would be no MCU.
Obviously Marvel did not remake S:TM at any point. You cited a remake as an example. So that falls apart immediately. Marvel never made a story that follows the story in S:TM.
So that means your claim is that Marvel copied the style or tone of S:TM. You claim that Marvel does not make their movies with the same style and tone of S:TM so you really look foolish here.
You are trying to have it both ways and it just won't work. Either claim Marvel copied S:TM or claim they do it differently. Pick one.
