Every few months, I get a notion to go to the movies. Usually it's a action film, or a comedy, and sometimes a cartoon. But more often than not, I go to see a comic book film. Now if your into these types of film's than you've probably heard of the Avengers.
The Avengers series encompasses Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and soon, Ant-Man. Now in prior Comic book film franchises, Like Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and X-Men were all self contained and the films in the series were all on the same characters in the prior film. Most of all, they all had different production teams. Starting with Iron Man, all of the avengers films play in and out one another and make a mega story. The thing is, Marvel is producing a film every 6 months for this franchise. With the older Franchises, they all had different production teams, studios and release schedules, but you could expect at least 1 marvel film per year. Warner Bros. wants to copy the same format as the Avengers to make a justice league film, Sony wants to copy this to make a bigger set of Spider-Man Films and Fox is copying this format to combine Fantastic Four and X-Men, and Disney with Star Wars. The Idea of a shared film universe was basically introduced with the Avengers, but now all the other studios are going to copy this format, once this happens they'll be cranking out the films as fast as they come, and the story value will go down, Why? because their all going to run out of ideas on that kind release schedule. My guess is that after all these franchises blossom, we will see 5 or 6 films per year from these MAJOR franchises, plus whatever Transformers, Star Trek, Jurassic Park, and Planet of the Apes might come up with.
But, the only film in the MCU that I didn't care too much for was Iron Man 2. So I could be wrong, but personally I would rather have an amazing film, than a really crappy FX showcase. But really It's up to you... the fans to decide which films to make a billion dollar grossing picture.
