There’s never been anything like the MCU before.
ROBSERVATIONS host Robert Meyer Burnett shares an article written by Emma Garland in Esquire Magazine positing that Matt Reeve’s new Batman feature may finally force Marvel Studios to change its formulaic approach to manufacturing superhero movies (https://thepgs.co/3KWUcCR).
According to Ms. Garland, “audiences are becoming bored – and more openly critical – of Marvel monoculture.”
It’s safe to say that Rob does not agree and lays out his case – based on widely available evidence and fact, not supposition, that what Marvel Studios has accomplished with the MCU is outstanding by design and not accidental. “MCU films are four-quadrant entertainment made for mass appeal,” explains Burnett. The consistent high-quality production values, prestige casting choices, and attention to character stories and development sets the entire catalog of films apart from anything else ever produced in the history of the motion picture industry.
This is a segment taken from ROBSERVATIONS Episode #793 which streamed on February 27, 2022.
