10 Biggest Mistakes In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
2. Formula One
"If it aint broke, dont fix it" is a truism that seems apt in the context of discussing MCU issues. Marvel movies are hugely successfully, generally well received by critics and now, for all intents and purposes, self-perpetuating. Nevertheless, just because something works doesnt mean it cant work better. Use the following third-act synopsis to guess the Marvel movie: the hero(es) pursue(s) the evil mastermind to retake possession of a powerful object thats being used for nefarious ends. Amid enormous carnage and with the threat of a planet at stake, our hero(es) manage to defeat the enemy through life-threatening self-sacrifice, recover the object and secure it somewhere safe. If you guessed The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World or Guardians Of The Galaxy, youre correct. Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America 3: Civil War bear all the hallmarks of substantial changes to the traditional happily ever after formula witnessed to this point, and not before time. Truth be told, there has been an assembly-line feel to the products coming out of the Marvel machine for some time now, and the quality of said products doesnt detract from the fact that a risky choice or two may have proved more satisfying. World War Z, to mention one recent example, dared to defy convention with a tense, low-key third act and was all the better for it. Heres hoping Marvel ditch the cookie cutter more often in the future.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
