A cheap horror movie that makes a lot of money may help studios get back to real story telling, even if they use the medium of superheroes and Star Wars and other pop culture to tell that story.
There is no reason that good stories can’t be told.
I thought a real good Marvel story to make is where a Skrull, which are shape changers, and can assume the identity of anybody and the Avengers have to figure out which one of them might be the Skrull.
The Fantastic Four comics, issues #89 through #93, the FF visit Kroll, the Skrull’s home planet after Ben Grimm, (Thing) is captured and forced to fight as a gladiator.
This all takes place in a 1930’s America Gangster land setting.
Probably one of the best FF story lines.
That’s the Marvel comic event Secret Invasion. That is a good read
