Yes, every project does come with it's own boundaries, and the deeper nolan/goyer got into the story the more rules they had to work within(see dent act). The point being nolan's best work came under these boundaries alone, he obviously seeks to and fought for his ideal story telling conditions and to impose rules that completely restructure his stories would be quite a thing to do the the artist, no doubt resulting in very different films. Perhaps better, perhaps worse. Just saying it's a draw back that TDKR wouldn't exist as it does, and if it did, it would be under the criticism of heavy plot holes(ergo it would no doubt need to be a very different story).
On both occasions the writers had to accommodate to the goings on of things outside of their story. Hard to say if they knew beforehand but it definitely hurt. Scott Snyder is a fun guy but I was told jms left marvel after that awesome Thor run.
It would be easy to designate it as a "loss" after the fact. The point is had Nolan never been hired, we would've had no idea what he would've brought. There is no perception of loss on a non-existent product.
Just because fans except it doesn't actually put it above criticism..
No, that's the way movies nomally work, these new films connecting these gods are playing by different rules.
Makes perfect sense. Conveniently each hero even resides in their own separate city/state (sometimes even worlds), so there is reasonable leeway for them to be attending their own matters at any given moment.
Thor TDW is another testament to that. And I'm sure that most people aren't going to be sitting in the theatre during TWS wondering where the Hulk is and why he isn't helping out.
