Please note, I'm not saying better movies would be for sure coming out if these weren't. We'd still be getting more Prince of Persias and John Carters, which are easily interchangeable with most of these. But on the flip side, we're likely getting less varied licenses in favor of more Marvel, so ultimately we get the same quality of products but thematically less diverse.Take away the neon coloring and, no, there isn't really much difference. They do have better art direction.They summed up Captain America's movie in like 10 seconds and did just as good a job of it as actually watching the movie, Hulk already had a previous movie (which regardless of whether or not it was hated, the more recent one certainly added nothing anyway), and Thor would've been better with nothing established just like he was in Ultimates. This also applies to Hawkeye and Black Widow's previous appearances, which did nothing.
In fact, just add some of those name labeling shots that movies about groups often do and you could leave the film as-is for the average moviegoer.
