Interesting. The first phase were some of my least favorite, mostly because they were generic origin stories - which I found dull. The Avengers was quite good, but where I thought the series got the most interesting was when it started branching out. I found the later solo movies the most interesting because they had more distinct style and difference, and got out of being generic origin stories.
Then you have a much higher threshold for repitition then I do. Its like watching the same movie with 90% repeats and 10% original footage.
Ant man is a marvel film with a dash of hiest
Captain america is a marvel film with a dash of spy thriller (emphasis on dash)
Spiderman is fucking nothing the movie and has butfuck anything to do with Spiderman or his themes.
This is Malibu stacey with a new hat. Yes the original series malibu stacey didn't come with a hat but it was by itself original.
For example, Guardians of the Galaxy isn't a generic superhero story
Its a largely generic hero story - IN SPAAAAACE!
Villian, Music, Cinematography, Dialoge, Artstyle, Story Structure....All largely the same and executed the same way. I guess there are less superpowers.
Doctor Strange is a standard-ish origin story, it at least was really visually distinct and creative.
This is where I will heavily differ. I really hate how marvel does its special effects, with a focus on busy visually blobby effects (because those are easier to do through disposable render farms in korea).
Compare The original spiderman films to any marvel film if you want a example of something that is executed and feels different. In terms of music choice, dialogue, effects etc.
I think we have had this exact discussion as before, and I called the Marvel films as the Activision blizzard to Michael bays Electronic Arts.
Both shallow and formulaic, but AB general attracts a larger audience through superior (yet still shallow) execution of mass appeal. Also they both suck up to china.
