The Iron Avenger
Take longer to get it right? They have 3 batman movies, 1 Green Lantern movie, and 1 Superman movie vs 10 Marvel Studio movies, 5 Spiderman Movies, 7 X-men movies, 2 Kick Ass movies, 2 Fantastic Four movies, 1 Daredevil, 1 Electra, and 2 Ghost Rider movies.
Even taking into account the last few movies I mentioned, MCU is still batting 1000 with their core 10 series. They are the ultimate popcorn flicks - and that's what they were made to be. They are 10/10 exactly what Marvel wanted them to be. The Studio movies were not made for the same audience as the Batman films (Nolan's style vs action/comedy), the Spiderman movies gave us the genre, the X-men movies only have one actual bomb, the FF/DD were middling affairs, Kick Ass was great, while we won't talk about Electra or Ghost Rider.
Meanwhile, GL was a massive, massive, MASSIVE bomb that delayed them from making more films because he was going to be their Iron Man, the one to start the universe. It didn't need to have happened, and I put the blame exclusively on meddling executives and the director/editor. Should have followed the actual script, it was actually really good. MOS wasn't bad (like some here on KMC like to say), but it was not better than Iron Man (the first movie.)
You could say they have a higher percentage of higher quality but that's because their pool is tiny in comparison and they had Nolan helming Batman for three films. That's the one and only reason that they are a factor - and the Batman movies don't tie into the current idea of a shared universe. No, the reason they are taking so long is due to fear. Fear after what happened to GL.
Somewhere out there, I live in a parallel universe where GL was amazing and he was going to get the attention he deserved. Stupid meddlers.
