It’s become formulaic, and Marvel seems very self-aware of this… which is why they seem to be doing their damn best to serve something different each time. It seems almost desperate? But the underlying tones remain the same.

I’m getting bored, and this is coming from a former avid comic book fan (as a kid) who went f’ing ape shit went it became “real” via movies. First time I saw Iron Man I completely geeked out.

And that’s the problem. 15 years later, I’m bored. Other movies outside of the marvel universe continue to excite me. This very much feels like a stale relationship… it’s me, not Marvel? But then I saw this post and realized others may feel the same way.

I couldn’t even begin to suggest what they should try next.
