Give me a break. Apocalypse was not a very good film at all and that is the most recent one. Also, they take plenty of risks. Remember GOTG? Ant Man? I am sure many expected those unknown characters to do amazing at the box office. They can make a movie about anything and it is at least above average. I love X-Men, but let's not act like it has always been perfect. Have you seen X3?

First of all, XMA was 3 years ago. Secondly Apocalypse recieved mixed critical reviews. Thats not "not a very good film". That's, a movie which has a lot of good stuff but some bad stuff too. And Apocalypse itself was a risk as Fox had never attempted to do a generic world destroying supervillain type story with a big CGI battle at the end before and basically sold out to conform and copy BvS and Avengers.

And GotG and Antman are NOT risks. They copy and use the same type of humour, tone and format as the other MCU movies. That is what audiences have come to rely on which is why Thor will be a comedy too. Its not about them producing unknown characters at all, thats not the risk.

If Mcdonalds came out with a totally new burger next week, it will sell millions because it will have the same bland additives in it thats in everyone of their other popular burgers.

Well, what is a risk to you then? Because the idea of a talking raccoon and walking tree that only says 3 words, and a guy who can shrink to the size of an ant sounds silly on paper, and no studio was ever going to make those movies. Therefore Marvel rolled the dice on those characters, and it paid off. Humor just adds the realism to those films because they are self aware that these are silly concepts. Or do you want dark and humorless Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy movies?
