10 Problems The MCU Desperately Needs To Fix
Don't cry for Spidey.
A decade ago, who could've ever imagined how ludicrously successful the Marvel Cinematic Universe would become?
Even optimists are surely stunned at how much money and critical esteem the franchise has rustled up to date, and there's little sign of the so-called "superhero bubble" getting ready to burst anytime soon.
As incredible and impressive a property as the MCU is, it's also fair to say that things aren't perfect. The demands of blockbuster filmmaking, a risk-averse parent studio and straight-up underwhelming writing ensure that the MCU is far away from reaching its true ambitious potential.
Avengers: Infinity War left just about everyone reeling, and with damn good reason, but it's important to remember the many nagging issues that have been plaguing the franchise for years and years. Considering how easily many of these issues could be remedied, it's clear the MCU should be achieving even more.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige unquestionably has a smart business head on his shoulders, though sometimes that's at the expense of forward-thinking storytelling and the bold expansion of the most successful movie universe the world has ever seen.
Fix these long-standing flaws, and the MCU immediately becomes more awesome.
