But one thing I notice is the hero often has to face a bad guy ... that's just a clone of the good guy
Let me make a list from worst offender to least offender
----
1 - the worst offender is sadly the last movie that came out: Black Panther
It's literally Black Panther vs ... Black Panther. Doesn't get much more samey same and evenly matched than that. Oh my frig.
-----------
2 - Incredible Hulk
Yeah it's the Hulk versus ... a biggerer hulk. If you like to drink during movies like I do the bad CGI and fast action can get really confusing when two big green dudes beat the shazam! out of each other. My Goodness this movie was an abomination. Good news though, I, like most fans, just pretend this movie isn't part of the MCU.
-------------------
3 - Captain America Winter Soldier
In this movie we're treated to a super soldier vs a super soldier ... with a metal arm!!! It's ok though cause this movie was awesome.
----------------
4 - Iron Man
We got Iron Man and we got Fat Iron Man. In the end it's two dudes in robot costumes fighting.
---------------------------
5 - Iron Man II Electric Boogaloo
In this movie we get something very groundbreaking - we get Iron Man vs an Iron Man with laser whips... but don't worry, Iron Man gets help from a fellow Iron Man with a gun on his soldier - also they fight an army of robot iron men in this movie. Iron Man 3 is a breath of fresh air by comparison.
--------------
6 - Captain America the first Avenger
It's a super solider vs a super soldier with a removable face and creepy red skull head.
--------------------
7 - Doctor Strange
Dr. Strange, a sorcerer - dresses in fancy clothes to fight Kacilisisususu whatever the smurf. Another sorcerer with eye shadow on.
---------------------
8 - Ant Man
Ant Man vs Ant Man ... but bad Ant Man has laser arm thingys. As a bonus this movie has basically the same plot of Iron Man, but tiny.
----------------------
9 - Age of Ultrons
I'm singling out Iron Man in this one, cause it feels like Iron Man vs another Iron Man .. but with a robot inside. Ultron and Iron Man also go toe to toe in quips!!!
-------------------------------
10 - Thor Ragnarock
You basically got two Assguardian sibling Gods duking it out.
You could give 11 to Thor
except Loki isn't technically an bottom guardian or even his real sibling
------- the rest which finally break this pattern mostly.
> Avengers 1 - Loki is the badguy. Basically a rehash of Thor but this time Loki brought an army and Thor brought a Hulk
> Thor dark days - Thor vers an elf man
> Spiderman vs Vulcher - those characters are quite different
And then the Guardian of the Galaxy friends
In the first one it's a bunch of aliens vs ... an alien with purple jewlery
But in GOTG2 we get to see the guardians fight A smurf PLANET!! Kudos to that movie, it was great.
And say what you will about Iron Man 3 but at least he wasn't fighting another iron man, he fought a fire breathing man! It was great! So refreshing to see an Iron Man movie without Iron man clones in it!!
.....oh
