3 things Marvel fans currently dislike about the MCU
We asked Reddits biggest marvel fans what they dislike about the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and being surprised, many people had a very similar response to this question. So, let's see what Reddit's biggest marvel fans had to say...
3. Lack of direction
One of the most common complaints was the lack of communication or direction that the MCU is going in. The Saga before this one, named, The Infinity Saga, actually had a clear direction it was going in. From close to the start of the saga, the fans knew Thanos was coming, but since that ended, the fans think there has been no clear path the infamous series will go down.
Reddit user 'venom_von_doom' had this to say about the topic: “This phase doesn’t seem to have a clear direction, or at least that direction is not being communicated to the audience properly.”
2. Comedy
Described as “marvel humour” by user 'Jonoave', marvel humour is a very prevalent opinion within the fanbase and is widely criticised for its poor jokes and overuse of comedy in not just regular scenes, but emotional character-building scenes that interrupts and ruins the whole scene itself.
Jonoave commented: “The Marvel humour, for lack of a better word, needs to be toned down. Allow emotional scenes to breathe, don't cut them off abruptly with a one-liner just for the sake of a joke.”
1. Poor writing decisions
This is, by far, the most common criticism of the MCU. The fans do not like the direction the characters are being written, specifically how they are being written and how they are repurposing ideas.
User 'MileHighGilly' had this to say about the writing in the characters: “Cramming in developmental characters is distracting to the core story being told. Intros feel forced and unearned compared to the main roster.”
With each passing day, the MCU is getting bigger and bigger but so do its complaints, and these complaints aren’t small things that can be easily fixed with a push of a button, but instead fixed by rethinking how they are producing the entire franchise. From what is being read from these passionate fans; they are not happy about their beloved franchise at the moment.
