"To be perfect is to change often." - Winston Churchill

Marvel Studios The only fitting word that one can really use to describe the phenomenon that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe is "gargantuan" - creatively, economically, culturally, there is no better word in the English language that really does justice to this ever-expanding entity. It's positively huge, it's out of control, and there's seemingly no stopping it. What's more, people don't seem to have a problem with that. But gargantuan doesn't necessarily mean "great." Godzilla was gargantuan, and look at all the damage that he put his name to over the years (to some very nice cities, in fact). The Marvel Cinematic Universe (or "MCU" for short) thrives on its ability to grow larger and larger, of course; the very aim of its existence is to open outwardly, consistently increasing its output as it does so, offering consumers new ways to fund said expansion until one day (God forbid) it all goes terribly wrong and - boom! - things come crashing down in a blaze of unparalleled glory. But that's probably long way off (given the money that these movies are pulling in, time after time). For all intents and purposes, however, the MCU is still in its beginning stages; it's still learning to walk; finding its feet, so to speak. As a result of this infancy period, there are a few things that could be changed which would help to render the MCU as a more interesting and less messy affair.
