    The cure is simple.

    ‘Alternate World’ stories based on the characters we all know.

    The same way the comics had ‘The Ultimates’ redo the Universe, just announce movies outside the ‘canon.’ Nobody but the most dedicated fanboys cares about canon anyway.

    Captain America : The War Years. A young Black Widow, before she decided to turn good. Young Hawkeye and Howard Stark. Thor in the Middle Ages. Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD.

      Marvel already has the beginnings of that, and that’s not the issue, the issue is the lack of quality, the lack of continuity, and that Sony just seems like they’re trying to milk their ownership of the Spiderman properties while also inflicting damage to the intellectual property.

      Like let’s say someone tries to remake Morbius, or it goes back to the MCU and Morbius joins the Midnight Sons, it’s going to damage the next movie, even if Blade, Ghost Rider, ans others are involved, people are going to he expecting another “Morbin’ Time!” rather than what should be a much darker toned Marvel movie centered around the occult.

        My personal list of the Marvel movies I’d suggest to people who hate superhero movies. You could cut all the special effects out and still have a great movie.

        Iron Man. Captain America -the Winter Soldier. The Avengers.

        I think this is pretty close to par for any studio. Most movies are just not great.
