The irony of this quote is that Doctor Strange, the most recent MCU movie we have seen so far, has made as few risks as possible (stunning visuals or a superhero with "magic" do not count as risks, narratively and formally). I would say that the rating is nothing but a distractor in this kind of debates when creativity is not even on Marvel/Disney's priority list.
You are such a hypocrite. You demonize Disney/Marvel as being uncreative, yet have the gall to think other companies, which are also only out to make money, are any different? Go to hell.If you dislike what they do it would be more honest to say, I just don't like it rather than concoct unprovable, circuitous arguments.
Saying that Marvel takes no risks is just being willfully disingenuous. The goal is to create a good product. Taking risks doesn't always or often lead you there. Risk has been fetishized as the single aspect that makes any creative endeavor successful. For some reason, we all need to break away from what's come before all the time. The only reason to take a risk is if you believe it will serve your art. Risk for risk's sake should not be a thing.
If some of Marvel's offerings have been sanitized to build capital, I can understand that on a business level so long as they reinvest in bigger films like Infinity War.SaveSave
