Yes. Cuz I feel there’s more aspects to them not making that much than just major competition like this. I love all movies and there’s many movies out there that deserve a shit ton of money.

Okay just wondering, I know some MCU fans that have blindsides to other films, so glad to hear it

I think in a way it’s even in the end cuz each side get something the other doesn’t. Superhero/franchise blockbuster movies get all the money and financial success, and all the others get the awards and the critical appraisals. It’s unfair on both sides and they all have a right to complain

superheroes/franchise blockbuster movies do get a lot of critical appraisals though, MCU movies have been consistently in high rotten tomatoes scores and metascores since the beginning

I’m mainly talking in the award aspect of critical appraisal

I'm pretty sure most of them get nominated for Oscars, hell even Suicide Squad has won one

Big nominations like best picture and best director and the acting categories. Even TDK didn’t get any of those except supporting actor

I don't mean to be a dick this is because most of these movies are storyboarded before the film is made or there even is a director. "Creative differences" is a nice way of saying the director had to much of a vision. And these scripts follow a very particular formula with a big battle at the end, and are required to include checknotes of future teasers of future films, there isn't a lot of artistic integrity in that.

I used to be obsessed with MCU films in 2019, then in 2020 i slowly switched over to mid-budget/indie American films. 2021 I slowly got more integrated with indie and foreign films (hidden gems). And now this year I have found so many great hidden gems in the indie, mid budget hollywood, and foreign film landscape. There are so many great movies out there, and superheros movies are barely touching the surface of what is accomplished through the power of cinema
