Whenever studios like Sony, WB, and Fox hires directors to direct their comic book movies, they hire actual talent in the business with very good resumes. Sam Raimi directed the Evil Dead saga before directing the Spider-Man trilogy, Bryan Singer directed The Usual Suspects before directing X-Men, Christopher Nolan directed Memento before directing The Dark Knight trilogy, Zack Snyder directed Watchmen and 300 before directing Man of Steel, and Patty Jenkins directing Monster before directing Wonder Woman, and that won an Oscar. Then we have Disney, who just throws their arms and hire directors with no talent or creativity. Including big name talents like:
Russo Bros - the directors of You, Me, and Dupree
James Gunn - the guy who wrote Scooby-Doo 1 and 2 and wrote and directed Movie 43, which is one of the worst movies ever made
Peyton Reed - the guy who directed Yes Man and The Break-Up
Scott Derrickson - the guy who directed the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still and Sinister
Does Kevin Feige just look at their resumes and look at all the shit they directed or wrote and go "You're hired! Welcome aboard! You'll fit right in, where we also make pieces of shit!"

You took works most of these directors did years and years ago while ignoring what they've done between early stinkers and their entry into the MCU to skew things for the sake of trolling. You're an idiot. Pure and simple.

Also, despite hiring bad directors, stupid MCU fanboys like weirdraptor and critics eat that shit up. BvS and Civil War are pretty much the same movie, except BvS is more mature and complex, but critics hated that film, yet praised the overrated Civil War which was another typical MCU movie that plays it safe and doesn't take any risks. Also Scott Derrickson directed the piece of shit Day the Earth Stood Still remake, which has a 21% on Rotten Tomatoes, but then he directs another piece of shit Doctor Strange, and that gets a 90%? Like how does that add up? How do bad directors suddenly become good when they work for Marvel? I bet if Doctor Strange was a DC movie, critics would hate it. Doctor Strange gets a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes while Batman v Superman gets a 27%. Those 2 scores should be reversed. ![](https://s26.postimg.org/480s321zt/eyes.gif)

Not mature or complex at all. And as for "no risks", they aren't going to kill off the cast in the Marvel movies so stop asking for it. It's dumbd to just kill off characters like that anyways. And they did the building conflict between the characters better than DC did too. Derrickson got a chance to direct a good movie without any bias going in. People naturally were going to be inclined to dislike a remake of a classic like Day the Earth Stood Still so that's no surprise. Dr Strange gave him a better chance to spread his wings. BvS would be disliked no matter what, it was just a poor movie.

The examples I used are true. the movies the Marvel directors directed suck balls. Yes, I am. Raimi, Singer, and Snyder suck. Nolan is only decent. You forgot about Joss Whedon, Kenneth Branagh, Jon Favreau, Shane Black, Joe Johnston, Louis Leterrier, Alan Taylor, Jon Watts, Taika Waititi, and Ryan Coogler. Russo Bros did Arrested Development and Community. You ignored those in favor of one bad movie they made years and years ago. James Gunn did Tromeo and Juliet, Slither, and a number of well-respected indie work and television work. Peyton Reed and Scott Derrickson are hired gun directors who have no power over what studios do with the films they direct. If anything, Marvel Studios have given them the most power and Ant-Man and Doctor Strange were both excellent.

I'm interested in this question for all comic-book movies with "shared universes," and it fits, perhaps, with my criticism of the latter concept here. That is to say, the idea of a shared universe, with canon imposed from above, seems to limit directorial personality, which results in formula--beginning the cycle anew. The prime example is Kenneth Branagh, a favorite director of mine whose entire personality was subsumed in the mess of Thor, a bloated project with no similarity to anything he ever directed. (And Branagh's oeuvre shows tremendous thematic interconnectedness, leaving Thor a curious outlier.) As for Marvel: Jon Favreau showed directorial personality in Iron Man that links it with Elf and Zathura, but none in Iron Man 2 and The Jungle Book, where personality is (again) subsumed and the result formulaic. The same largely applies to Sam Raimi and his Spider-Man films, before the last succumbs (again) to formula and repetition. Shane Black shows distinct personality with Iron Man 3, perhaps the most interesting of the Iron Man films (though not, in my opinion, the best), that is clearly distinct from Favreau's conception, or that in The Avengers. The greatest attempt at very distinct directorial mise en scène comes from Joe Johnston, who in many ways remakes large parts of his earlier (and superior) The Rocketeer for Captain America. It's not entirely successful, but Johnston very clearly wants the film to be his, not "Marvel's"--art being made by the individual, not the committee. As for DC... Burton is probably the best example here, as Batman and Batman Returns are very much his (especially the latter, which is in many ways nightmarish). Superman and Superman II are as well; that is most clearly defined by the fact that the Donner and Lester cuts of the latter are very different. For the modern films, the Batman series clearly reflects Nolan's worldview and work (unfortunately... I'm not a Nolan fan! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ), and Man of Steel very much reflects Snyder (also unfortunately--I despised Man of Steel). I have heard that Wonder Woman is also very personal for Miss Jenkins. All that being equal, I liked some directors' personalities, disliked others', but I am happy when I see such an expression of personality, when it's not consumed by the general machinery. I truly cannot believe that art can be created by committee, but rather that it is an extension (again) of personality.
