The real reason they suck is IP law. We could have had some more interesting stuff if it weren't all carved up an divided among several different production companies and studios all hell bent on profit over substance.
I'm still pissed about the severing of the X-Men from the whole cinematic universe. Imagine if there wasn't all this rights hoarding and we could just let whoever make weird shit with the source material.
I wanna see Paul Verhoeven do a Cable movie, or Denis Villeneuve doing a Human Torch movie.
He's assuming they'd make what Don Quixote was to chivalric romances; satire so effective any future works that play it straight look silly, damaging the genera or at least forcing future works to avoid those criticisms.
but are these films causing fascism, or just reflecting the times they’re made in, like a symptom?
A symptom, IMO. The top brass at Disney aren't thinking "we need to make movies that reinforce the status quo and assure people that capitalism and America are wonderful." Nope, instead, they just care about profit. Maximum profit possible. And they have spent billions finding the exact cinematic formulas that maximize profit globally (plus some good PR for the CIA and US govt, because that's always a good business decision...)
