Maybe because they basically keep making the same movie over and over again. Stop beating the horse.

I completely disagree with your take, but it’s not the first time I’ve heard it. I’m interested to understand why do you think these are basically all the same?

I like them, but there is a very defined formula.

  • Start off with character we like
  • Introduce bad guy, maybe a small fight
  • Meet up with another character from the MCU, have a pep talk/other character tells them how serious it actually is
  • Go on an adventure, maybe with a cameo
  • Fight scene with baddy, our superhero fails
  • Sad moment, hero is broken
  • Hero picks himself up
  • Builds up for big fight
  • Big fight
  • Celebrate, but someone mentions that it's not all over
  • (Optional, end credits scene showing someone picking up where baddy left off)

I like the MCU movies, but this format becomes incredibly obvious especially in the newer movies. I wish they'd just get a bit more creative.

Not one I'm planning to see at the theater, although I watch it later just to keep up-to-date with the timeline.

This wasn’t the point of the article at all, but all I could think was “Quantumania got a B? Whaaaaat?”

Garbage franchise finally suffering, good. This shit needs to die. Endless seas of trash.
