the mcu’s real problem (and how it may be fixed) - Fantastic Four and Thunderbolts* spoilers??

“THE MCU IS BACK” everybody says as an another marvel movie with a score above 80% comes out.

The problem with post-endgame Marvel is not that it’s too woke. It’s not that none of the movies are good. It’s not even because of the multiverse.

It’s inconsistency in story telling, and disorganization, coupled with bad writing.

Marvel’s problem isn’t that they are too woke. You can’t critique a piece of media solely on their political opinions. You can disagree, but it is not a good criticism, and doesn’t hold up where it matters. Marvel’s problem isn’t that they are always bad now. Wandavision, Loki, TFATWS, No Way Home, GOTG 3, Wakanda Forever, Shang-Chi, etc. Their stories are not completely without errors, but even their “bad” projects people seem to still enjoy. They are just not consistently good, and often leave stories and characters unvisited. And their issue is NOT the multiverse. I’m tired of people acting like this wasn’t an inevitable thing that was going to happen, and honestly, we have gotten such interesting stories because of it (like some of the ones I mentioned above). Some projects handle it better than others, but in the end, the theater was screaming when Andrew and Tobey showed up in No Way Home.

I think the reason pre-Endgame marvel was so good, was because it was very grounded in a specific comic-book movie niche, and was, for the most part pre-planned with a narrative that haunted the entire story until the crescendo that was End Game. The truth is— this entire story was just about the age of Iron Man and Tony Stark. From the birth of his superhero to the death of his ego. It was Tony’s story in the end. When it ended, it seems that the execs didn’t even know this, and didn’t have a new character to follow/didn’t know about the one they had yet (Doom).

That is why I think recent marvel movies such as The Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four are getting better. For the first time in a while, we are having consecutively good MCU movies. Why? Because, once again, there is somebody haunting the narrative. Maybe not in the films just yet, but we viewers are just waiting for the slightest peek of a green cloak and steel mask. How ironic that this character is also played by RDJ. That was marvel’s charm really, it followed the hero and villain in a story that was accompanied with a plethora of characters. It followed Tony and Thanos. Now it follows…Doom and Franklin? Maybe idk. And yes, even though the writing is objectively better in these movies, and they weren’t heavily political, and the multiverse wasn’t as prevalent, I think that this clear target has really helped the writers.

Anyway, what do you all think?? Do you think the MCU is back? Or is it yet another false alarm 🫩

So I don't know if anyone can relate but I am a self diagnosed ADHD'er who wraps her personality around a fandom and squeeze real tight.

I have recently introduced my best friend to marvel which was my fandom from ages 10-14 unfortunately new marvel took that young girl heart and stepped on it and squished it with a cinderblock.

Looking back on that fandom that used to be my everything has been so cool, my friend is so much smarter than me and she sees all of these cool details and writes headcanons and I just feel like a proud parent showing my kid the music i listened to as a teen, it is such a weird fuzzy feeling.

Never Again

I don't know if it's intentional Or not but old marvel was really sneaky.

Like in eath's Mightiest hero, when Red skull talks about how he will turn Captain America into a brainwashed soldier like Bucky, Bucky actually looks like he is reliving old memories from his past. He eventually saves himself and Captain America.

The phase 'Never Again' carries a lot of significance in our world's history.

During the n@zi regiment, thousands of jews, blacks, poles and disabled people were k!lled.

And in friction, Bucky becoming Winter soldier was also a outcome of Hydra (which was a N@zi organization in Marvel).

So yeah, I think it was clever writing on Marvel's part.

This is how I high-key feel when they made Sigyn’s hair black instead of blond in the later versions of her in the comics. + turning her golden outfit green. She doesn’t look bad, but It was so weird to redesign her to where she practically looks like his sibling 😭

It’s also a trope I’ve noticed - basically where a romantic couple is designed to look exactly alike so audience can understand they’re together. it’s so odd, especially when it gets to this point lmao.
