I’ve enjoyed the stand alone movies quite a bit more.
The new trilogy suffers from having so many protagonists that none of them seem worth caring about. It seems they have HBO-envy and wanted to ape the structure of a long form multi-POV serial and jam it into a 2 hour movie and it just doesn’t work.
- Fricken 8y agoA lot of the big franchise blockbusters these days suffer from the creative/producing team trying to fit 2 pounds of poop into a 1 pound bag. I appreciated both Rogue 1 and Solo because they were straightforward, procedural action/adventure serials that let me feel like an 11 year old for a couple hours. They weren't trying to be high art, just well crafted.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoI'd argue it's more Marvel-envy (movies, not epic TV shows), and since Disney owns both, it's more of a "hey this worked, let's try it with another franchise". I'm no expert, but I feel the Marvel universe is better at it than Star Wars.
- baud147258 8y ago> the Marvel universe is better at it than Star Wars I think that's coming from an existing story structure (Comics) which work very well for multiple PoV serials and big cross-over finales. In addition to that, with the comics, there are a lot of storylines that can be used as inspiration
- empath75 8y agoThe best marvel movies are also fairly stand alone.
