Title is misleading - he doesn't talk about limitations. More, he talks about how the MCU took another direction after phase 1 and how it suffered because of it.
So apparently this guy has a large following - and many say about this video that they strongly disagree w/ him in this video but overall like his content...
Someone who I am friends with sent me this video, and I know this guy and his channel are very, very popular. So I watched as much as I could stomach - at first I thought he was being sarcastic or just trolling like "The Critical Drinker" (great channel)....but as I realized he was serious...I soon just turned it off.
Oh I forgot, brought to you by the guy who often uses the "It's just a movie for kids" defense for movies with glaring plot holes.
Cliffs:
Phase 1 MCU especially Whedon MCU had more significant character development and better visuals compared to Russo bros MCU. MCU problems are most apparent in the Russo bros directed films.
MCU phase 2 and 3 = not enough color...too drab and gritty.
Thor 1 has more impressive visuals than IW despite being 8 years older....
Avengers battle of NY action > anything after it
Aquaman visuals are a great example for the MCU to follow
MCU Phase 3 doesn't show the heroes caring for and interacting with normal ppl like Whedon's movies did, or doesn't seem to care about civilian deaths.
"In the first Avengers film, it feels like New York is really in danger. In Infinity War, it feels like only the super heroes are in danger"
Ragnorak is one of the best of phase 3, but still lacking in color.
Every 3rd act of MCU phase 3 is the same - big battle.
In a nutshell: "I love colors. Phase 2 and 3 have fewer colors, therefore phase 1 is the best phase".
