10 Problems The MCU Desperately Needs To Fix

4. The Filmmaking Style Is Too Restrictive

It's no secret that all of the MCU movies adhere to a fairly strict "house style", and though the likes of Iron Man 3, Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok have proven that vocal filmmakers can thrive within the blockbuster sausage factory, it's still clear that Kevin Feige's grip might be a little too tight.

Now in fairness, Feige's formula has also ensured a tonal consistency across the films and certainly contributed to that aforementioned critical winning streak, but at this point it'd be great to see some bolder, riskier directorial choices even if it's at the expense of those ever-important Rotten Tomatoes scores.

Wouldn't it be amazing to see real auteurs hired for MCU movies, where they're given relative free reign to deliver the style and tone they want?

We'll never know exactly what Edgar Wright would've delivered with his version of Ant-Man, but it's fair to say his unique style would've been toned down considerably to suit the more conventional MCU style.

20 movies in, though, too many of the films look and feel the same, and it's kinda tiresome. The series desperately needs major directorial talents who can be given space to deliver unique, singular superhero experiences.
