re: “Captain America: Brave New World” one of the lowest-grossing Marvel movies of all-time

MCU fell into a trap when the storyline becoming more ridiculous the longer it runs. There is always a new enemy that is even more powerful than the last, rinse and repeat.

One of the problems for me was the fact that it forced an alternate reality, due to what happened in the various movies...

I can watch Iron Man up to Avengers, and imagine it's happening in our world. Tony Stark is Elon Musk doing and making things at the top of his game; Captain America is a classified secret project from WW2 that nobody heard of afterwards. Thor is a strange event in a small obscure desert town that the government covers up, etc.
You may see references in tabloids, but otherwise it's all under the radar. The real world goes on.

Following Avengers and the attack on NYC, it's not my world anymore. Every decision in-world is based on things extremely different than what we have, so it loses touch. It loses the appeal of "what if this happened tomorrow in my town".

I got downvoted for saying the MCU is not synched with reality, but I think that is an issue.

Superhero films are at their best when you can imagine it happening in the real world. The MCU went so far, nothing they put out now will mesh with that- characters in-universe are talking about the NY alien invasion, the Thanos Snap, the destruction of an Eastern European city by Ultron, now the emergence of a giant hand in the ocean etc. They are motivated and make decisions based on that. None of which apply to the real world... but are SO big it's impossible to ignore and try to make it more reality-based again.

So now, an MCU movie isn't about "what if that superhero appeared in an American city" anymore, which makes it less interesting.

The poli ilk that love to shite on everything Hollywood will love this news.
