This position holds that the Marvel movies are not good cinema, popularity notwithstanding. It argues that they exist chiefly as a vehicle for corporate profit, that their plots follow a formulaic pattern lacking real creativity, and that they are built as family blockbusters rather than art.

- The plots of the Marvel movies follow a formulaic pattern without creativityTrue cinematic works stand out on the basis of their unique stories. The Marvel movies lack this element.
- Marvel movies are inherently only a tool for corporate profitAt the end of the day, these are Disney movies. And as a corporation, Disney churns out movies for one reason: money.
- Marvel movies are inherently oriented at being family blockbustersThe conventions, the subject matter, even the humor all indicate that Marvel movies can't approach serious cinema.
