I get that they are supposed to be loud, fun, summer blockbusters meant to tie up neatly in two hours, but a change of pace would be greatly appreciated. How to come about that though, I'm not exactly sure. Something more straight laced as some of Fox's X-films perhaps? Who knows.

That is just comic books in a nutshell though. Of course the hero is going to win out in the end, that is the entire point. Hell, look at how upset people got for Infinity War ending with Thanos' victory. People can't handle a movie where the heroes don't win.

Also, as I discussed earlier, they aren't all the same. The Winter Soldier is a political thriller. Civil War and Black Panther are spy thrillers. Spider-Man Homecoming is a coming of age story. Guardians of the Galaxy is a space opera. Ant-Man is a heist film. They might contain the super hero formula, but if you are only looking at the movies for the super hero format, you are doing them a disservice.

Sure, Iron Man and Doctor Strange follow the same path, but the characters themselves are so well written and acted that it doesn't matter.

Also, I don't agree with you at all on Ezra Miller. The dude has clearly never read a single Flash comic in his life nor has he ever watched a marathon to see how people actually run. Barry is not some awkward shut in with anxiety issues! God damn, learn how your character is supposed to act before you play them!!!

Now I am looking forward to Captain Marvel (Shazam) as it looks fun outside of emo Billy. Not so much on Aquaman, which looks to be just more of the same. Can they drop the hobo look already?
