The MCU is a masterpiece of Hollywood brand recognition, creating a shared universe that revolutionized the blockbuster landscape. But there are some downsides to the Marvel formula. To bring all the strands of the franchise together, Marvel had to make the films look similar. And creatively speaking, that shared aesthetic isn't always a good idea.
Obviously, there are a few visually exciting exceptions like Black Panther and Thor: Ragnarok, but for the most part, the MCU likes to follow a grey-toned color palette with deceptively subdued costume choices.
