    I mean, Iron man was like literally the first movie in the MCU (discounting that Hulk movie), it also literally started the trope of Bad Guy has literally the same skillset/power as the good guy that was replicated a bunch of times.

    GotG, and Thor: Ragnarok are the only movies that are unique and carried by their directors.

    Love and thunder is a dumpster fire.

      I think bad guy having the same skillset is really just a superhero trope.

      • Flash vs Zoom
      • Green vs Yellow Lantern
      • Spidey vs Venom
      • Aquaman vs Black Manta
      • Wonder woman vs Ares
      • Green Arrow vs Dark Archer

      I listed DC heroes primarily to show it isn’t just a Marvel thing. But all of these arch enemies are basically evil duplicates of the hero.

      I think the trope largely stems from a “How do you defeat someone who is as powerful/strong as you” kinda thing.

      Ah I think Thor Ragnarok was what I meant, the Taika Waititi directed movie
