1. Actually Thor DIDN'T Have Blonde Eyebrows

So, this is a pretty minor one, but it fixes one of the most openly expressed criticisms Marvel Studios' head honcho had for his own franchise of films. It also gives you an insight into both how Kevin Feige deals with his creative regrets and also what sort of thing really annoys him.

Because according to Kevin Feige himself, one of the only things he ever openly talks about changing in the MCU simply because he hated it came in the wake of the first Thor. He really, really hated the decision to give Thor blonde eyebrows:

“Definitively, the one thing I would definitely do differently if I had to do it over again, is we would not have dyed Chris Hemsworth’s eyebrows blonde in the first Thor. Because we were like, Thor is blonde! He has to be blonde! And Hemsworth was great and awesome and pulled it off, but there are a couple of shots I watch and I’m like, oh my God, that poor guy, we made him freaking dye his eyebrows! That’s ridiculous! And I can laugh about it now because Hemsworth is Thor and he doesn’t need long hair, or a cape, or a hammer, or two eyeballs to be Thor.”

Incidentally, if that's literally your only real regret, you're definitely doing something right. And Feige did get his own way, because by the time Ragnarok, Endgame and Infinity War came around, Chris Hemsworth's brows were back to their natural tawny brown.
