is there some kind of "MARVEL METHOD" in the MCU productions?
I'm not really following this closely, but I know a lot if not most of the MCU films and tv series have had big delays and extra costs due to many rewrites and reshoots.
Of course I understand some of these are caused by Real World events ( covid pandemics, Russian invasion of Ukraine, ..) or to adapt to the stories of other films released just before ( which would imply a serious lack of "editorial" coordination / direction).
But could there be more to it? A deliberate choice of the powers that be ( Feige?) to work that way with constant revisions by other creators ( writers, directors..)?
In the comics industry, Stan Lee oft congratulated himself for developing and spreading the very efficient " MARVEL Method" which proved very successful. Basically he would have an idea and give a very basic plot / synopsis to a trusted artist. The latter would then do the majority of the work, filling in the plot and imagining the layout before drawing the whole story and handing it back to Lee. Lee would then eventually discuss with the artist and ask for a few changes ( not too often because they were on a tight schedule all the time with printing deadline), and finally add on the script and dialogue, practically reinterpreting what he saw/ understood from the textless art..
Of course this only worked because he had fantastic very creative artists like Kirby or Ditko who were able to plot great stories from a simple plot, and acting as real co-writers ( even if they did not get the recognition nor salary they deserved for their great contribution).. I may be wrong but I think Claremont and Byrnes had a somewhat similar working collaboration on the X-men..
So, did Feige instate a MCU METHOD?
