No it's an ingenious way to make ridiculous bank even when producing meagre offerings nothing daring about it
Never been done before but it's not daring?! :russ: OK.
Meager is subjective, call me crazy but enough people seem to like it. lol Even other studios as they plan on doing the same. But take solace in your opinion.

what's that, imitate a tried and tested formula to make a profit? :heh: That's what any smart business would do. I suppose you are in the crowd that felt Nolan was daring when he reboot batman right?

Yeah, all you wrote is implied. I just think it is daring Marvel invented a plot device to make more $ for the industry. You don't. lol
Don't know how that's related but I'll say no??:ld:

what's daring about isolated movies with no box office success being connected to one's that have in the aim to create the illusion that it is one big connected universe and you must lay down some cash to bare witness to the next entry?

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR's Ballooning Budget Is Why Marvel Studios Ended Up With Disney

More details are rolling in about why Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige decided to part ways with Marvel Entertainment's Ike Perlmutter, and it turns out that something of a civil war was caused by the budget for Captain America: Civil War! Hit the jump for details...

The story behind the Marvel Studios/Marvel Entertainment split is almost as compelling as the disastrous tale of Fox's failed Fantastic Four reboot, and The Hollywood Reporter has the latest on why Kevin Feige reached the end of his tether with Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter. According to the trade, years of frustration came to a head when the two clased over Captain America: Civil War's budget. This matches up with what Variety said when Robert Downey Jr. was added to the cast of the movie (at the time, it was reported that Perlmutter very nearly fired the actor rather than pay him what he wanted to return as Iron Man, something Feige couldn't abide).

The trade adds, "Sources say the budget on Civil War ballooned accordingly, which didn't sit well with the famously frugal Perlmutter. 'New York wanted to scale it down,' says one insider." The "New York" they mention was both Perlmutter and Marvel's Creative Committee. While they haven't been disbanded - they'll still play a role in the TV shows - their role in the movies will be pretty much non-existent. "New York had a big say for a long time but hasn't Kevin earned the right to some autonomy?" asks one insider. "He’s made the company billions. Why is he reporting to a 72-year-old man who doesn’t make movies?" It's hard to argue with that!

Breeehhhh:dead:

@Omar27, props for the updates breh.

It's working. And that's right you got to lay down cash at the next entry. See you in the Civil War thread.

Disney Reportedly Considered AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON A "Failure"

vMbDA7j.jpg

Over the past few days, we've been hearing a lot about why Marvel Studios decided to move under the watch of Disney instead of Marvel Entertainment's CEO Isaac Perlmutter, and now Bleeding Cool may have another reason to add to the already pretty long list. While Kevin Feige and Ike had been at loggerheads for a while, it was apparently Avengers: Age of Ultron which was the straw that broke the camel's back. Apparently, Disney weren't happy with its $1.4 billion haul. That's a lot of money, but not enough, and not what many expected after the success of the first instalment and the Phase 2 releases which preceded it. The site adds that, "as a result, at Disney, it has been dubbed a failure. Which enabled Kevin Feige to use it leverage to push out Isaac Perlmutter."

Early on, many fans and analysts predicted that Avengers: Age of Ultron would top Avatarand Titanic as the highest grossing movie of all-time. While it was a million miles away from being a flop and still made Disney a lot of money, they clearly didn't get back as much as they expected. The site promises to reveal more about the divide between Feige and Ike, so stay tuned for updates...

Doing something that has never been done and getting others to copy it is basically the definition of daring. You are just too dim to comprehend that.
I like how you want to play the iq check now when you have displayed poor reading comprehension through out these exchanges.:mjlol:So using what you have just written was it daring for whoever was the 1st person to create a sequel? I mean once upon a time it had never been done before and now everyone is copying, by doing it, right? Wrong. :martin:And in case you missed the point when I asked what has been achieved in the MCU that's daring that's obviously in regards to the stories/plot not the MCU concept :snoop:
