7. "Ant-Man Was Ruined By Edgar Wright's Departure"
What Everyone Thinks: Had Edgar Wright not departed from directing the movie before shooting began, leaving Peyton Reed in his place, then instead of a solid yet unremarkable 80% approval rating with the 6.8/10 average it eventually scored, it would've hands down ended up as one of the best-reviewed MCU films. The Truth: Though in fairness Wright's movies are on the whole exceptionally well-reviewed, it's worth remembering that Wright still received a writing credit for the final Ant-Man movie, and much of his material is said to have made it into the film. Yes, Adam McKay and Paul Rudd then contributed to the screenplay to form it in the manner that Marvel wanted (as was apparently a sticking point with Wright), but in honesty, it probably wouldn't have been a whole lot better even with Wright at the helm. We can never know for sure, but to hear the fanboys constantly whining about how Reed "ruined" the movie is just disingenuous. It's no masterpiece, but it's enjoyable enough, and though Wright's film could have been an improvement, it likely wouldn't have been the miraculous transformation so many of his fans expected.
