    What risks did they use to take? As long as I remember the Marvel movies have been formulaic copies

      Giving creative control to specific directors to let their vision shine through the project: Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor Love and Thunder, etc.

      Edit meant Thor Ragnarok the Taika Waititi directed movie.

        I mean, Iron man was like literally the first movie in the MCU (discounting that Hulk movie), it also literally started the trope of Bad Guy has literally the same skillset/power as the good guy that was replicated a bunch of times.

        GotG, and Thor: Ragnarok are the only movies that are unique and carried by their directors.

        Love and thunder is a dumpster fire.

          I think bad guy having the same skillset is really just a superhero trope.

          • Flash vs Zoom
          • Green vs Yellow Lantern
          • Spidey vs Venom
          • Aquaman vs Black Manta
          • Wonder woman vs Ares
          • Green Arrow vs Dark Archer

          I listed DC heroes primarily to show it isn’t just a Marvel thing. But all of these arch enemies are basically evil duplicates of the hero.

          I think the trope largely stems from a “How do you defeat someone who is as powerful/strong as you” kinda thing.

          Ah I think Thor Ragnarok was what I meant, the Taika Waititi directed movie
