We all know, except for those who don’t want to admit it, that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has fallen from grace. Stories that attack fans, creators that seem to hate continuity and proper adaptation, and at least one Marvel Studios producer openly saying he only wants writers who know nothing about the comics, aka the source material without which they wouldn’t have a job. Disney has been mistreating the SFX people to the point that they’re planning to unionize against Disney, and MatPat recently went over a host of other mistakes Marvel Studios are making with the movies and Disney+ series. What started out as something comic fans and casual moviegoers alike could enjoy has been ruined by activists and the “everything for meeeeeeeeeeeee” crowd.
So with curiosity I looked into an article by Fansided’s “Bam! Smack! Pow!” section about “9 Things No One Want To Admit About The Marvel Cinematic Universe“, though I thought article titles were supposed to be all capitalized. Apparently not at Fansided, and it’s one of the articles that makes you go through multiple pages so they can push multiple ads, except they don’t bury you in useless information to get you to the part you actual came for until you give up in disgust and learn nothing except “don’t read this site anymore”. It’s still an annoying practice. I’ve done this once or twice because the article is so long, with a set of links to the part you’d actually want to read but sites like those or articles like this is why I stopped. I’ll try to summarize with the right amount of context but you can check the full article for the entire post. It’s nine things over five pages so it won’t be as bad as some other sites. Let’s see what bothers writer Cody Schultz versus what bothers me about the current state of the MCU.
