Well I think there are more than that but the fewer there are the more it bears out my claim that Marvel is grinding creativity into the dust so...

When Bronson was 10 years old, his father died and he went to work in the coal mines, first in the mining office and then in the mine.[3] He later said he earned one dollar for each ton of coal that he mined.[11] In another interview, he said that he had to work double shifts to earn $1 a week.[14] Bronson later recounted that he and his brother engaged in dangerous work removing "stumps" between the mines, and that cave-ins were common.[14]

The family suffered extreme poverty during the Great Depression, and Bronson recalled going hungry many times. His mother could not afford milk for his younger sister, so she was fed warm tea instead.[14] His family was so poor that he once had to wear his sister's dress to school for lack of clothing.[15][16] Bronson was the first member of his family to graduate from high school.

Bronson worked in the mine until he enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces in 1943 during World War II.[3] He served in the 760th Flexible Gunnery Training Squadron, and in 1945 as a Boeing B-29 Superfortress aerial gunner with the Guam-based 61st Bombardment Squadron[17] within the 39th Bombardment Group, which conducted combat missions against the Japanese home islands.[18] He flew 25 missions and received a Purple Heart for wounds received in battle.[19]

That's one of the things that stands out about Kurosawa and Leone films. They always have these leering grotesques in the windows of the town, close ups on some bloke with about two teeth, a monobrow and peeling sunburn.

I agree with this in hollywood at least... look at that guy who is in all the Robbe-Grillet (again) films, that's a face and a half.
Also the people Balabanov used, or Alexei German in Hard To Be A God.

I thought we were just talking about the MCU, not all the old X-Men films etc. The MCU starts with Iron Man in 2008.

Plus they're gonna crank out like ten new disney+ series, actually tying into the MCU, unlike the netflix series like Daredevil/Luke Cage/Jessica Jones/Punisher/Iron Fist.

Luke Cage had one of my favorite villains, Cottonmouth, played by Mahershala Ali. Also Jon Bernthal as Punisher was good. Really the netflix shows were enjoyable. They acknowledge the MCU, but not vice versa.

Its really getting more and more sprawling. And slowly more egalitarian.

In film school in Chicago, the MCU was veritably hallowed ground for many of the students. Even many of the students who had an appreciation for classics/foreigns.

Its borderline religious in some cases. Theres obviously exegetic headspace to occupy fans for insane lengths of time, connecting elements between films, between films and comics, etc.
