>>135723594>more solo focused story driven, continuing the interconnectivity of a cinematic universeYou can have both. The interconnectedness is not a drawback, it's a feature of the Marvel Universe. If done poorly it can bog shit down but half the point of the Marvel Comics since the beginning of Fantastic Four has been the interconnected stories
You just have to have good creative people to balance the neurotic personalities of the heroes with the fact that they are heroes.
As for what I think will happen with movies: I think the MCU will keep going, either going through X-Men, F4, whatever other stuff they have
OR
Secret Wars will be an "end" to ALLLL the marvel movies thus far and then they'll reboot
>same cast for F4 as MCU F4 because we've already seen them a few times and done a munch of multiverse stuff w them by that point>same cast for a lot of mcu characters>recast whoeverAnd then with the new rebooted MCU instead of doing a weird X-Men/Powerpack Avengers movie in 2030, they can reboot the MCU AS GOD INTENDED, more comic accurate with the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four all together as they should be
I also think some filmmaker, through some studio, maybe A24 or AGBO, will sort of do "deconstructed" superhero movies. Not in a Watchmen way, but in like a "taking it back to the roots" way. How superheroes are not some untermensch ubermensch fantasy, they're stories about the innate good in all people and explorations of power and morality. People complain that superhero stories have black and white morality but when done well, the entire point of the genre is to explore all corners of morality. What makes a hero, what makes a villain? All these are answered in the genre when done well.
As in, A24 will put out a movie that's mostly a character piece, with the superhero elements introduced naturally, in a "bury the lede" way. Minimal action except a character-driven action scene at the end, focused on the character
