This is very true, but id like to point out its a us comic thing. I’d invite you to read european comics, belgian ones in specific.
The thorgal series, aria, joko tsuno, or hell even the suske & wiske reboot called amoras. They are teen/adult comics that are a lot darker and more flushed out story wise than us hero comics
I think they just forgot the lessons from the earlier movies. They had action but there was a lot of build up so it meant something.
Now you’re just straight into a boring fight scene with no stakes. And somehow the bigger the stakes the less there are because you know they can’t fail.
And now even the rare consequences can be undone through time travel and multiverse bullshit.
I think they fucked up having Endgame the year after infinity War. Should have left it five years or so, and had things happening in between. I feel we missed out on a gritty R-rated, Punisher style, Hawkeye there. It should have had consequences that were left to feel for a bit, rather than instantly going “magic bullshit go” and reversing it all.
But they fucked that by having Spidey get dusted, so they had to bring it back quick otherwise how would they explain how Tom Holland had gone from looking about 14 to being a man.
Any of those boring-ass superhero movies. What is so appealing about hour-long GCI fight scenes and no plot?
Never forget the golden rule: DC;RtRR, or
Disregard capeshit; rewatch The Raid Redemption
The colors! it’s so many. Plus there is a plot it’s just not very deep like in a comic book. The whole source material like 20 pages. It’s not novels.

I will check those out thank you. We have some more advanced ones here as well they just don’t seem to make movies about it unfortunately.
Thats sad because some real adult/darker themed comics that dont follow the superhero theme are real gems. Got some us recommendations?

That’s the whole thing with Infinity War, they failed hard and that made it a wild story.

I do agree we missed a bit of ronin Hawkeye action, and such. They don’t really have an interest in comitting to going that dark.
