Kevin Feige Is Milking MCU With Bad Quality Movies, Joe Rogan Criticizes Marvel Movies’ Quality

The decline of Marvel has been a topic of conversation for a year, and Joe Rogan has participated in all of the debates. As a result, his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, is a hotbed of discussion points and hypotheses explaining why the CBM franchise would abruptly change from an unstoppable production with impactful inventions into a lax and the rusty machine cranking out a lineup of abhorrent factory-produced goods.

More lately, the podcast host has questioned the originality that had propelled Kevin Feige's studio to unprecedented levels of fame and popularity.
The host of The Joe Rogan Experience discussed if writer-producer Mark Boal ever had the chance to use his abilities on a high-budget franchise superhero action picture while having the journalist-turned-Oscar-winner as a guest. Given how Boal transformed his horrible experience in the U.S. Army into the Academy Award-winning script for The Hurt Locker, the concept is not too outlandish.

As a result of the author's work on such masterpieces as Triple Frontier, Detroit, and Zero Dark Thirty, the former journalist's familiarity with Hollywood grew (2019). However, Joe Rogan alleges that when the idea of using Boal's creative abilities for an action movie was raised:
“They don’t need that, they don’t want that, you know what I mean? If I’m running one of those companies, I wouldn’t hire me. You don’t wanna have that conversation. You’re just like, ‘Here’s how we do it, we have a playbook. It’s worked every f**king time, and we’re gonna do the same playbook again.’ And I’d be like, ‘Well, yeah, but can’t we change it upand what if we made it more realistic and what if we try to make it more authentic?’ they be like, ‘bro, we’re selling toys for kids.'”

Mark Boal said there are a few cases where a director's artistic brilliance combines their "commercial strength," and these goods are the ones that are rare and far between, even yet it manages to perform enormously, to which Joe Rogan adds support. Rogan brings up Zack Snyder's 2009 epic superhero movie Watchmen, while Boal brings up the Dark Knight trilogy by Christopher Nolan.
Mark Boal shows how high-budget franchises rely more on tried-and-true experimental formulae and those huge companies are just hesitant to take the risk of trying something new that might not be as well-received at the box office. Marvel's quickly dropping viewership after its entire embarrassing Phase Four then becomes relevant, and the author claims:
“Those systems, they’re factories… Those are really industrial products when you go watch a Marvel movie. There’s a limit to how much any one filmmaker or writer can really change what they’re trying to do with their product.”

By noting, "The more cooks you have in the kitchen, the more influence, the more different kinds of ideas, the more commercialized it becomes.," Joe Rogan continues the discussion. Because of the repetition of the industry, Marvel's efforts to achieve its goals by offering identically written items inevitably fall short.
