1) Have non-threatening villains
2) Have lots of quips, lame jokes and goofy characters to keep things light hearted
3) Keep the story basic and simplistic so children can follow it (often using a MacGuffin plot device)
4) Heros conflicts are diluted to the extreme to make them appear unbreakable (when have we ever seen a MCU character go through genuine conflict like in Spiderman, Dark Knight trilogy, X-Men even the DCEUs MoS)
The good thing about this forumla is you can predict future films will follow these same tropes.
I know exactly how Black Panther and Thor Ragnorok is going to play out, and thats sad.
1) Have non-threatening villains
- because Lex, Zod, Enchantress and Ares are so much more threatening right?
2) Have lots of quips, lame jokes and goofy characters to keep things light hearted
- something that apparently majority of audiences love. WW had a lot of this "lame jokes" as you put it, and yet look at how much more people loved that movie over the humorless first 3 DCEU movies.
3) Keep the story basic and simplistic so children can follow it (often using a MacGuffin plot device)
- I believe you mean keep the story cohesive and understandable so that people of different ages can enjoy it. What? You want everything to be a complex mess like BvS?
4) Heros conflicts are diluted to the extreme to make them appear unbreakable (when have we ever seen a MCU character go through genuine conflict like in Spiderman, Dark Knight trilogy, X-Men even the DCEUs MoS) - compare that DCEU movies where Superman's hair isn't even messed up at the end of his fight against Zod and Wonder Woman didn't suffer a single scratch after fighting Ares...
