Vision said that in "Infinity War." So it is with the MCU. Let's accept it. They had a solid 10+ year run with over 20 very entertaining movies with mostly good scripts. But now, Thor The Dark World--once panned for its bottom of the barrel script--is now joined by these latest installments from Marvel Studios. Indeed, it would appear that the machine that thrilled us for over a decade has ground to a halt like a murder-bot without juice. Having taken its historic run of successes for granted and accepted any hackneyed storyline and script as acceptable for its multi-billion dollar fanbase. This fan wonders; was there ever a discussion in some boardroom where someone said: "Michael Waldron? Really? Do we really want to trust our huge fan base to his FIRST movie script?" OR, "Isn't Sam the same horror movie director who 14 years ago pretty much sank our most popular character, Spider-Man?" Perhaps the exec who thought these things was sitting next to Baron Zemo who promptly silenced them. Who can know what goes into toppling an empire? But the crumble is on full display. Vision, it appears, was right. It was beautiful, but it had to end someday.
