While we've all got nothing better to do than post opinions on here, that's the bottom line. Nobody can say "The next 5 X-Films will be great!" with anything other than pure faith, and nobody can say "The next 5 X-Films will suck!" with any solid argument.
Chances are there will be a few winners and losers in there.
As for Marvel, they may not do anything as gratuitously violent as I've heard Logan is, but the violence in Daredevil/Punisher should satisfy any reasonable person's blood-lust. If anybody needs more than that, I think that's on them, not Marvel.
And call me old-fashioned, but I think superheroes should have some restraint and not be murderers.
I think it depends on the character: Deadpool, Wolverine and Punisher kill people, that is in their characters.
Now people got upset when Batman and Superman were offing people in BvS, but is because people expect Batman and Superman not to be killers. People were unhappy when the Thing became a government killing machine in FFINO and people would be upset if Spidey pulled out an Uzi and blew away a bunch of street punks.
Different characters have different limits and work better in different settings, some work best in light hearted settings, while others work best in darker settings.
The problem with FFINO is, it tried to put light hearted characters into a darker setting and it didn't work. A new FF film had to be a bit more deep then the first 2 films, but turning it grim dark was the wrong way to go.
I actually don't mind violence, as long as it serves a purpose, in terms of characterization, artistic vision or relevant themes.
Netflix Punisher explored the consequences of violence in a much more relevant way then say Punisher Warzone, which was just a mindless slaughter fest. I heard Logan handles its violence well in terms of important story themes. Sure Deadpool played violence for laughs, but its a comedy and can get away with that if done well.
Really its great to be a Marvel fan, if we can get dark serious stuff like Logan and really fun projects like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Right. Based on their track record, I have a reasonable level of confidence that the next 5 MCU movies will be well made, enjoyable movies (at least for most people). It wouldn't necessarily surprise me if I didn't particularly care for one of them, but if I had to lay money on it, I'd say I'll like GotG2, SMH, Thor, BP, IW, and CM based on what I've seen in the past.
I think the next Thor movie has a lot to prove, the first Thor was okay, but the second one was the worst film in the MCU. Its not God awful, but it is mediocre.
I am not looking forward to it, at this point.
The MCU has never had a truly bad film, but they have had some mediocre films.
X-Men in terms of quality is up and down, but Thor has just being mediocre the whole time, I think I prefer something that can hit some good heights, even if it hits some lows as well, rather then something that just stays at mediocre.
I think the next Thor film has as much to prove as the next X-Men film.
