So are Deadpool, New Mutants and Logan. The criticism here is not that characters are not original creations, but that MCU are formulated cookie cutter, conveyer belt products: eg always having the same arcs (Jerk goes through crisis becomes good guy superhero a la Iron Man, Dr Strange, Thor Antman etc) or band of jerk has to find together to fight common enemy a la Avenger or GotG. Add all the other MCU formula elements like childish jokes, faux-deaths etc and these movies essentially feel the same. Show me the Logan out of the box movies, with real R-rated stakes and dark elements and original storytelling. Where are they in the MCU? I never saw one. You can love your junk food but do not insult other's intelligence by claiming it is haute cuisine. That formula has worked for Marvel with 17 movies over the last 9 years. They have all been successful critically and commercially. Why do they need to change something that isn't broken? Comics are full of light hearted jokes and faux deaths. It's been like that for decades. There's always the Netflix shows if you want to see a R rated dark MCU experience. |
