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.

It's normal to want to see something as big and successful as the MCU fail. We're all wired that way on a subconscious level. For some, Marvel Studios and the MCU must seem to have sprung up overnight like an alien weed spewing out brainwashing pheromones. I understand MCU hatred even if I don't agree or can't sympathize. It's the bizarre and arbitrary rationalizations that throw me off.

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

You're right, of course. These people just get on my nerves, and the fact that they just can't be honest to just say, "Marvel doesn't tickle my fancy, and I don't get the appeal," is all the more infuriating.
