Kevin Feige Talks About The Criticism That Marvel Movies Are The Same And Doesn't Talk About Inhumnans

While the Marvel movies tend to get relatively positive reviews overall there have been some criticism. The main one being that the movies are starting to get very similar in tone which kind of defeats the purpose of a shared universe. The variety in tone and genre is what keeps this ball rolling. In a recent interview with UPROXX Kevin Feige was asked about the criticism that all the movies were the same.

I think it's just the way we make the movies. I think all the movies are relatively different. I think there's a narrative that people like to write about because they're all produced by the same team and they all inhabit the same fictional cinematic universe. That we look for common similarities. And I'm not saying there aren't common similarities throughout it, but I think Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-Man: Homecoming are two totally different types of movies. They're both fun. People both enjoy them. Is that a similarity? If so, I'll take it. If that's a criticism, I'll take that, too. But really, yeah, Homecoming, Ragnarok, Panther, into Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp after that. And a '90s-set Captain Marvel after that; these are six very different movies. If what they have in common is they're all really enjoyable and fun to watch, then I'll take it.

So it sounds like Feige doesn't consider the criticisms valid or at least he's not worried about them which is fair. The movies are making plenty of money and a vast majority of fans seem to enjoy them. It's a "don't fix what isn't broken" type of thing. Marvel has made some bad stuff but it's either not bad enough that it hurts anything (Iron Man 2, Thor: The Dark World) or on TV so the movies can keep their distance.

When it comes to addressing the Inhumans shaped elephant in the room Feige artfully dodged the question.
