A movie can be rad as fuck and still have artistic merit, they’re not all Wavelength (1967). I feel a need to distinguish modern franchise films separate from most other movies because they’re made by committee, slapped together in post, with the actual workers producing it reduced to cogs in the machine. If Disney could get away with it they’d be making the actors CGI as well, and every director that’s worked on a marvel movie has said that it’s a constant battle against the executives, who decided two years before the script was written which characters would punch which other characters in order to sell toys.
