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.
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.
But count how many DC films have it vs how many MCU films
Well it’d be the ratio we care about, but let’s see (should only count first movie to simplify) and just saying yes if villian has same powers.
Marvel:
DC:
So 6/10 vs 4/7 or 60% for marvel vs 57% for DC. So surprisingly around the same.
Edited to fix formatting
You can’t not count batman, it’s a no.
So is Aquaman.
And so is Wonder Woman, not sure how you can say Ares has the same skillset as WW.
Ah I think Thor Ragnarok was what I meant, the Taika Waititi directed movie

love and thunder has some incredible deleted scenes though, like thor’s conversation with zeus, and the gorr ripping his tattoos off (not sure if this was released)
