Wow, I am disappointed. The cast was okay, but the story was not even remotely heroic. It wasn’t the lack of super heroes that made this movie so bad, but that Marvel has moved away from the superhero theme to create a group of heroes from would-be assassins. Marvel has gone from being something special to being a conversion for criminals. It totally defeats the whole superhero philosophy. Boomers are the only generation left that understands why we even had superheroes to being with. GenX, millennials, GenZ and GenA are oblivious to the need for superheroes. Disney/Marvel … has adapted with public demand, but they have also lost themselves in the transition. Too bad! :(

Did you not see Guardians of the Galaxy? The entire plot is a bunch of former/still criminals becoming heroes. Further, in the MCU canon, Gamora, Nebula, Black Widow, and Deadpool were all assassins that became heroes. Half the MCU’s heroes started as villains in the comics (e.g., Wolverine, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Yondu, Adam Warlock, Vision, Gambit, X-23, Falcon/Captain America, Loki, Elektra). Even some characters portrayed as villains in the MCU are heroes in the comics (e.g., Ronan the Accuser, Juggernaut, Psylocke). Comics are filled with stories of villains turned heroes and heroes gone bad.
