Marvel exec: “Hear me out. We literally just bring back all the Sam Raimi supervillains”

Fellow ghoul: “Oh, like write the same characters?”

Marvel exec: “No I mean literally the same actors portraying those particular versions of those characters coming from the Raimi universe”

Fellow ghoul: “......I love it!”

      Yeah, I oversimplified it a bit. It's more that there is a collection of traits that are common to most MCU movies, which make them look, sound, and feel very similar, and having watched a bunch of them I'm thoroughly tired of those traits so unless an entry goes outside the box in a notable way I can't get excited for it even if it's a character I like like Spiderman.

        All tension must be interrupted by the music dropping out and someone making a quirkily awkward dad joke before continuing. Gets a few laughs in the theaters because people view them in groups and then they just break tension and flow because they happen so often
