Alright, my take on the whole "other Marvel movies suck thing" is this: For the most part, I do think Marvel Studios has a plan and direction with all their movies, but they have a whole universe to choose from, Spidey and the X-Men kind of don't in comparison and are very limited. Marvel Studios also does write and find directors to make the movies based on characters and show people why comic book readers love them in the first place, without trying to make drastic changes. Now MS hasn't done that with everything, ala Mandarin/Thor 2. I thought Thor: The Dark World and even Iron Man 3 had way too much humor. Personally, what I love about MS movies is that they pretty much take the 616 PERSONALITIES of their characters while giving them mainly the Ultimate looks. There is a line between re-imagining and completely ignoring source material. The ASM franchise is toeing it. Tbf, we don't need Spidey or the X-Men in MS movies, those are heroes that work so much better on their own.
I personally mainly don't like how they wrote Peter Parker or any of the villains. Peter, who is arguably the most important part of these movies. I think they write him like an unlikable ****** bag. Spider-Man on the other hand was written beautifully. All the scenes with Peter in the Spider-Man costume are all brilliant and his quips are pretty much what I have read from the comics. It's not campy at all, it's PART OF HIS CHARACTER. Aunt May is very well portrayed and Gwen is to an extent though I'm not a fan of how they wrote her and Peter's relationship. Gwen's death scene could have been a tad better though.
Sometimes it confuses me when Marvel Studios goes all the way with things and when they don't. Tbh, I really wanted to see a Falcon that actually had a telepathic link to birds and somewhat not just a soldier that knew how to fly with mechanical wings, but then they go full on with the Thor universe; Nine realms, the hammer spinning, Loki's helmet, The Destroyer? Marvel Studios is not perfect by any means.
I think the main thing is unnecessary changes. Absolutely unnecessary changes. I know these movies are trying to stay grounded to a point but c'mon. Jane being an astrophysicist, Galactus being a cloud, making Electro sympathetic, Harry being the Goblin before Norman, Papa Kent implying that Clark maybe should have let the kids in that bus drown? Aldrich Killian being The Mandarin (I really think the one shot was a backpedal on MS part) You CAN make changes as long as you make them work, but that can be a huge opinion thing. Some people like the whole Harry Goblin thing. I thought it shoved in way too fast and didn't have time to breathe like how they did it in the Raimi films. My god, stop trying to make villains sympathetic. I know Red Skull wasn't as fleshed out as most people wanted him to be but I loved him simply because he was totally evil and wanted to kill millions. The Sinister Six movie is a redemption story? It's called the SINISTER Six for a reason. Just let the villains be villains sometimes.
In the end, it all comes down to making a good movie. The Dark Knight franchise was far from Batman from the comics but it was a good movie. They were written, acted, and directed fairly well. I could say the same for Iron Man 1, and The Winter Soldier, and Spider-Man 1 and 2 to an extent.
