Preface: I'm not a Marvel guy.

It may be just me, but the whole Marvel universe has just left me cold so far. I appreciate the efforts put in to appease fans and audiences alike, but to me these films never really convalesce into anything truly cohesive. There is a continual feeling of "made by committee" that has been stuck there since the dull Iron Man 2.

Somehow, the proper use of the quote function eludes me on this forum whenever it's more than one quote... always ends up screwing up the formatting for me :/ (see: my typeface)

Just wanted to say that I agree completely about that feeling of made by committee. I am more than a little tired of how needlessly connected this universe is, personally. And they all reek of exploitation of a genre... then again, I suppose all action films do? It's just a specific target for my feelings because of how prolific this universe has become.

I am probably in the minority though.
