Everyone should be aware at this point that the Marvel formula is close if not already crossing the line of becoming stale. It's been dead obvious since GotG was an almost shameless one-on-one copy of Thor 2's plot. Or who can forget that since Iron Man was such a success, and The Incredible Hulk faltered, Iron Man became the go-to copy/paste formula for the entire Phase 1 down to the movies (Thor and Captain America) opening with a flash-forward for no reason whatsoever other than that Iron Man opened with a flash forward and that movie was a success.

All that shyt has largely fallen on stingy-ass Perlmutter. And while it may have been vital and/or necessary early on to guarantee the studio's success, it's obvious the lack of risk-taking (see also the departure of Wright from Ant-Man and DuVernay not doing Panther) that's forming the biggest risk of fatigue setting in.

Was watching the Incredible Hulk the other day, and I forgot how much serious the tone was for that movie compared to the other Marvel films. Hopefully now we can get a sequel.

More Big Changes At Marvel Studios As The "Creative Committee" Is Brought To An End

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Marvel Studios will now operate under the watch of Disney instead of Marvel Entertainment. Another big behind the scenes shake up has occurred, with the Creative Committee (made up of names like Joe Quesada) disbanded by Kevin Feige...

According to Birth.Movies.Death, Marvel Studios' Creative Committe has been disbanded this week following the severing of ties between the studio and Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter. For those of you unfamiliar with the group, it was apparently made up of names like Alan Fine, Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Buckley, and Joe Quesada. Their job was to give notes and weigh in on Marvel productions while they were being adapted. Their input was clearly not appreciated by Kevin Feige (because, let's face it, he hardly needs the help of someone like Bendis) as now it will just be him, Louis D'Esposito, and Victoria Alonso making key creative decisions.

So, why scrap what sounds like a relatively useful group of people to have around? According to the site, this committee was something of a burden, offering up "notes that are pedestrian, motivated by 'save the cat' story logic and sometimes a drag on creativity." Perhaps their greatest crime were being responsible for the script notes which led to Edgar Wright deciding to depart Ant-Man, while their lateness with such revisions would often play havoc with a movie's development. In other words, good f**king riddance! Another interesting titbit revealed by the site is that "Ike, with a background in toys, believes girl toys do not sell and thus vetoed them again and again," and that explains the lack of Black Widow merchandise.

All in all, it feels like a new day is dawning at Marvel Studios. Just how much of a different we'll notice as moviegoers remains to be seen, but there's no denying the fact that Kevin Feige appears to be making all the right decisions. What do you guys think?

@TheGodling I think that creative committee would be the main reason for your complaints. I read this article at work and hit the :obama: hopefully now they can take more chances
