Only one issue remains: the MCU has simply lost its spark. In fact, the MCU has been more and more widely regarded for outputting ‘slop,’ as in easily digestible bites of action with poor to mediocre writing. Allowing director Jake Schreier more creative control seemed key to unlocking a better written story than the MCU had in a few years. Moreover, it had a significantly better look than most Marvel movies, with noticeable color grading rather than the typical flat look of recent projects. However, the directing duo behind the upcoming Avengers has had a near-flawless run within the MCU, meaning this potential issue can be waved away.
