Funny that "Iron Man", in my opinion, is actually the best Marvel movie. The more means they had, the worse the movies became. "Black Panther" was probably the last watchable film they did. Proves that constraints serve movies better.

Btw, that's also my plan for myself. The Hugoverse Substack is a short stories/novels "prototype" and development of the IP that I want to later develop into web series and ultimately movies. I only hope it won't take so long that I'll get too old to play Hugo! ;)

Agreed. It’s not that I found the other Marvel movies bad, but even the decent ones were forgettable once it finished. I’d honestly prefer if they reduced the boring action sequences and world building, and just let the actors bounce off each other.

Good luck with the Hugoverse! I think it’s definitely a good way to prototype your ideas before investing serious money into the project.
