Oh, we’re headed into another MCU phase?
To me, that just says “Ok gunns for hire, the next batch of movies will have this something as a central theme. Do not colour outside those lines.”
And isn’t every DCU/MCU effort lauded as a redefinition of excellence and sure to please the crowds. Directors hype up their polished turds, are promised more movies… then leave the project because of creative differences.
At some point it would be refreshing if they could make a movie without insinuating that film is integral to the fabric of all storytelling for the next 5 years. Make a good movie and stop with the chess moves. Don’t make another Dr Strange Inception just to introduce some forgettable demographic-pleasing future limited series character who won’t be seen again for 2 years.
