With the US and the world at large burning up, it is time for these movie studios to make their stuff a little more relevant. War is happening, it’s not a fantasy. And it’s not an exciting superpowered alien we’re fighting against, but the reality of fascism. Marvel stuff is not only pulp shit, it’s utterly tone deaf & actively detracting from our real issues.
Used correctly, fantasy / sci-fi can be a great way to strip off habitual thinking patterns and expose things in the real world that we have become blind to. That’s not generally something we’ll get from Marvel though, especially after the Disney takeover.

Civil War was pretty good in this regard.

yea I agree, social scifi is a great tool in this regard. The classics : Bradbury, Barjavel, Dick, etc. definitely not from Marvel though.
The Boys is right there
True… But even The Boys is kinda tame tbh ! when it comes to the maga crowd, I mean. The actual supes are disgusting
