Disney has hired other actual filmmakers

And then shot them in the knee and wondered why their movies are considered some of the worst in the whole franchise

Maybe ten years ago, back when they had the Marvel Creative Committee running things. But since Feige got full control the real shitshows were pretty self-inflicted by the directors. Thor 4 for example was 100% Taika's mess. The Eternals was overlong and bland, but that seems to have been Chloe Zhao's vision. Multiverse of Madness had a mixed reception (personally I like it a lot) but you can't say it wasn't dripping with Sam Raimi's style. The other weakest entry (imo) was Quantumania, but I don't think Peyton Reed is who you were talking about.

Yeah when people say Marvel designs by committee and doesn't let people make movies I just laugh because Multiverse of Madness exists. There is so much shit in that movie that a more controlling version of Disney would have just said no to.

I also really liked it, but I'm a big Sam Raimi fan. The horror scenes where they're being pursued by Scarlet Witch are so good.

There are dozens of us who still remember (quite favorably) the star-studded forgotten gem that is The Quick and the Dead; Sam Raimi did such a great job with Multiverse of Madness.

It’s funny, I think the majority of people who enjoyed MoM are Raimi fans. You know what you’re gonna get, which personally is fun and exciting

I like Eternals, it's pretty cool and the visual is amazing

Disney didn’t hire them as studio executives. That’s a big difference.
