Sub modifies and changes the word genre. Which means that superhero films will share core elements yes, but MCU films by their nature are creatively strangled by the weight of an ongoing continuity which demands characters, tone, and plot beats are shackled. Spider-Man canāt end the world and kill the human population because the movies have to continue which means the stakes are lowered. A gay sex scene canāt happen because the franchise demands family friendly content.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatican 4,046 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Black Widowās script was written in eleven days! How can people honestly say itās just genre conventions. The MCU is clearly formulaic, which is fine, but not for years on end.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest an not be fooled Kevin Feige said he was sold on Chloeās pitch for the movie as soon as she brought it up to him. Also, the fact that the TEASER trailer got mixed reception tells you that right out of the gate, this was going to be a divisive movie. A lot of casual Marvel fans will expect this to be more action-oriented than it actually is. Even the reviewers who didnāt like the film still said it was by far Marvelās āmost ambitious and uniqueā movie. šš¤š¹ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so bored with the formula now that I can't bring myself to finish the rest of them. And some of the ones I DID watch were so boring or overloaded with CGI sequences that I kept losing track of the story. Does that make more sense?Ā Nah still not at all. I think the problem is that you just donāt like this type of movies. And thats okay. If you donāt like overloaded CGI then the MCU just isnāt for you. A formula is literally used for any genre or universe. Look at Star Wars for example. They need a formula since they are all connected, thats why even if you saw 10 of them you probably donāt get all connection points, which in some cases maybe makes some of the movies bland or pointless (which in my opinion is still untrue cause I think they all work very well as standalone) SwissMonsterĀ®ļø - Creating controversy since 1999 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Eternals was the first MCU movie I was really interested in seeing since Thor: Ragnarok (I still have not seen Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Shang-Chi or Ant-Man and the Wasp)Ā so this is really disappointing that it's getting this kind of reception.
