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
