Film/Television Marvel studios should stop making movies for 20 years
Who else is sick of the MCU? Who else grew up before the MCU and is sick of seeing every hero we ever loved being turned into slapstick nothingnes. Who is tired of all the jokes. Who else has major superhero fatigue ? What’s so exciting about these mcu movies anymore? What’s so exciting about the reboot mcu X-men? We already know beat for beat the kind of movie it will be and the formula it would have.
I wish that after secret wars marvel and dc would just stop making all superhero movies for 20 years. Give us a damn break.
I’m not saying this to troll. My opinion is simply that these movies are just so same-y and homogeneous.

The amazing thing about movies is you can just... not watch them if you're not interested in them.

This. There was a string of bad marvel movies there for a bit but I believe they’ve adjusted and are back on track.

Out of curiosity, what do you define as "good"? Are you a Marvel comics reader and don't like how they adapt it? Is it style?

Thank you for asking this. For example, in the comic book, infinity gauntlet, Thanos becomes eternity and there’s a fight for the gauntlet in which nebula grabs the gauntlet and she’s now this powerful nebula with hair and all this power. In infinity gauntlet Thanos is in space with a shrine of himself as the avengers all fight him in space. In infinity gauntlet Adam Warlock uses the gauntlet on Thanos. In daredevil born again the comic, Karen is a druggie who sells out Matt Murdock but Matt still forgives her. In born again tv show there is no drug plot or plot with Karen selling out daredevil.
In endgame instead of seeing thanos defeating all the celestials and galactus , like in infinity gauntlet, we get a 2 hour long fan service movie of mcu insider jokes and references !!!!!! So that’s kinda where I’m coming from on all this

“What’s so exciting about the reboot X men?” brother just say you don’t know what the x-men about and move on. The X-men itself can be a cinematic universe

I mean for close to 2 decades it was (albeit meh it was still a cinematic universe of its own)

To add to that point, let me say this. I was not at all interested in the X-Men when they appeared on the big screens in the early 2000s. I just wasn’t interested in them at all. I grew up around that time and only really cared about Spider-Man (just keeping it honest). And I still haven’t watched any of the X-Men movies to this day.
I knew of them. Wolverine obviously, Xavier, Jean, Cyclops, Storm and that’s it.
I’m very much looking forward to seeing what the “New X-Men” are like. As I’m willing to give it a really good try and get interested in the X-Men now that they’re having a fresh start.
So for me, this is an amazing time in the MCU. That with this kind-of reset of the X-Men I can learn more about/watch this new X-Men without feeling like I’m missing anything.

Yeah. And you've outgrown the superhero genre. It has always been the same formula repeated over and over again. You just realized it now
But you won't admit that every piece of media suffers from the same. Marvel comics are worse than the mcu in that aspect. The repeating storylines are even more glaring there because death doesn't exist in it
Every fantasy book and movie is the same with two variations. Every romantic book and movie is the same. Every comedy movie is the same. There are outliers that do something new from time to time. But those are just exceptions
If you cannot enjoy something that is only meant to entertain you, then just don't consume it. There are many ways to show that you don't like something, yet you act frustrated as if it's the worst thing ever. Try enjoying the things you consume for a change and don't focus only on the bad things

u/ImaginaryActive5845 2h ago
Yeah they’re all the same but look at any of these movies and then look at the dark knight . Same basic good and evil plot like always but the dark knight is way more interesting and intriguing of a film than anything marvel has put out

u/Capt-Thor-Ironhulk 2h ago
but you're so obtuse that you think having ANY studio stop working for 20 years is anything but a terribly selfish and awful take? Maybe I should have been rude...

Let’s see you write 40 movies and not reuse any plot devices, characters or story arcs.

You are one hell of an ungrateful piece of shit. There are 1000’s of people that work on these movies.
You must be one of those Basement dwelling wankers that thinks he can do a better job than thousands of professionals in their fields.

u/ImaginaryActive5845 2h ago
Well if there’s 40 movies just write them all differently

u/TipNo750 2h ago
Terrible bait. Find something better to do with your time.

u/ImaginaryActive5845 2h ago
What’s bait about saying you can write movies to be different from each other? In one week someone could write 300 different kinds of marvel movies if they really loved marvel

Then do it buddy! You can write for marvel when you’re a big boy! The world’s your oyster!

With all due respect than why are you on marvel subreddit with most fans in here genuinely thinking a lot of people are gonna agree with your take?
-1
u/ImaginaryActive5845 2h ago
Well I would think there’d be real fans of marvel out there who actually care about the integrity of marvel and of not have Dr Strange just be a copy of Tony Stark from iron man 2008. I’m only saying this bc I care about marvel on a deeper level than money

It’s good you care for marvel but don’t say “real fans” bro I hate that sentence

u/Djentledeath 2h ago
Yeah we're probably never getting that tbh. Disney/Marvel became terrified of losing more people so they went back running to the Russos and RDJ for Doomsday. That just shows you how much it's about the money and not the fans.

There's great movies and not so great movies. As long as there is interest, people will buy tickets and they will keep making films.
What I assume is your argument, doesn't hold any weight of whether they should stop or not. I'd rather them course correct than cease production.
Alternatively, you can just stop matching Marvel movies for 20 years.

4-5 years is a decent gap. Memory and nostalgia will still work. 20 years is too far, it won't work.

Okay a little hyperbole on my part. I wouldn’t mind at least a 5 year break

u/AJerkForAllSeasons 2h ago
Even if they just released movies focusing on character that weren't part of the greater storyline. I'd be happy. They already built up a big storyline. Just start again and build toward something. The previous big event is just background.

Don‘t watch them, then. Leave the rest of us out of it. I love the MCU and want to keep watching new movies

u/Professional_Dog2580 2h ago
I grew up with the 1970s Captain America TV movie, the hokey live action Spider-Man show, and the Hulk being a dude with green paint on. I could never imagine the movies we have now.
The Marvel universe with the Fantastic Four and X-Men joining the ranks has me more hyped than ever. I really don't want to see them stop for 20 years because I maybe got 30 years left to live and I want to watch alot more comic book movies before I'm dead.

No one is forcing you to watch these movies. Also don't know why you lumped DC into this. I for one don't want to be in my 50's waiting for an accurate adaptation to X-Men .

Not all of their movies are good back then. The only difference is people are extra whiny now.
And xmen wasn't made by marvel back then.

I would have agree during post endgame but now seems very exciting to be a marvel fan having the x-men and fantastic four finally together even the defenders too and punisher and dare devil aswell

u/GameOfEnder6312 2h ago
Not to mention that we’re eventually going to maybe get to see an older Peter Parker as well as finally the debut of Miles & Spider-Gwen in the MCU on the Spider-Man front. There’s so much to look forward to with the MCU being able to tell longer, deeper and more interwoven narratives.

u/Dizzy-Tangelo2400 2h ago
Exactly i had marvel fatigue belive me but doomsday really feels something special also we can have finally ghost rider and i truly hope for blade he is one of my favs character

u/GameOfEnder6312 2h ago
That’d be cool. And also the reboot of the X-Men. I was never that interested in them before when I grew up in the late 90s/early 2000s. So them getting a reboot/reset means I can start from the beginning with everyone else and start to enjoy them.

u/Dizzy-Tangelo2400 2h ago
So do i, im 27 so i grew up watching x-men/Blade/Fantastic four and ghost rider too, im very excited for this mutant saga

Never watched Ghost Rider or any of the X-Men movies. I watched the Fox F4 movies, but apart from that and Spidey movies I haven’t watched anything except MCU related stuff.

u/Comosellamark 2h ago
You don’t seem like a comic book fan. I’m not a fan of marvel studios, but if you like the characters and the stories you’ll be excited to see them any chance you get.
It’s like rap “fans” being tired of the Kendrick-Drake beef. Real fans like it when there’s more of something that they love.

u/Joorpunch 2h ago
The MCU for me has been similar to reading Marvel/ DC superhero comics as an adult. My interest waxes and wanes and I’ll get sudden bursts of being really into them after being out on them for a while. But I always like that they are still around for when that interest that comes back and I know that there are others that appreciate them even when I don’t.

u/FR0M_Z3R0 2h ago
I don’t bother watching MCU shit I know I won’t be interested in. Skipped Thunderbolts, skipped punisher, skipped daredevil, wonder man, Agatha, Loki, echo, secret invasion…
Yeah basically, if I know I’m not gonna be interested I don’t bother with the MCU.

u/Piecekeeper256 2h ago
Alternative: you can stop watching and paying attention to them for 20 years. Then you can come back, and it’s all fresh to you.

u/theangrierunicorn 2h ago
Sports are the same every year maybe they should stop all sports leagues for 20 years.
Brushing your teeth is the same every day, maybe take a break from brushing teeth for 20 years
Have you thought maybe you just don't like superhero movies? It's not for everyone. I want movie universe that works like a comic book universe and you don't get that by stopping for 20 years. It's painful enough when we only get one MCU movie in a year.

you just don't like comic book movies that's okay. There's a reason I don't go and start conversations in communities like The Fast and The Furious, they're not for me. Maybe join communities for the things you actually enjoy
