This is for Marvel, DC, X-Men and any comic book character (just more traction and attention on the Marvel boards), but from the reviews, a common criticism between all the reviews of Captain Marvel is that it suffers from the usual "origin" film tropes. So how do they get past that when they introduce a new character because on the opposite spectrum of criticism when a CBM introduces a new character is usually "who is this character is?/why is he/she here?/motivation". How do you find the balance?

IMO, they shouldn't even bother. They should embrace the tropes and just make sure they make a good enough movie that people won't care. It's kinda hard to make something original when the basic premise of your story has been done dozens of times before. The best you can do is change a few things here and there, take a left when people expect a right, but it's hard to change the overall arc of the story. Just make sure your movie is better than the ones done before.

I think its fairly simple actually. And its already been done. Batman (1989).
When that movies starts Michael Keaton is already Batman. We're being introduced to him for the first time, but within the story one gets the impression that he's been Batman for some time. Then the rest is told through someone elses view of him; in this case reporter Vicki Vale.
As a matter of fact with some of these characters I think their origins are SO ingrained we don't need to go over them again at all.
If I have to see the Waynes or Uncle Ben get shot one more fucking time I'll throw my bucket of popcorn at the theatre screen! These have to be the most killed characters in all of cinema!
