Marvel woke up today and said......let me remind y'all who the fuck we are!!

Nobody hurt me but I didn't watch very much Daredevil or Punisher. Did the Maggia play a role, the Mafia or neither?
 
I'm not saying this is the reason, but it does seem like Marvel leaned into the quantity over quality strategy after Stan Lee died. While Feige is great, you definitely need a legacy leader to rein things in sometimes.

With Lee, Kirby, and Ditko all deceased, there's no one around who has a connection to the IP in any meaningful sense.

It's crazy how characters like the Mask, Plastic Man who are so targeted to a younger audience are actually in comic book terms ridiculously god like level of powerful.
Yeah, the dichotomy is hilarious. It probably comes down to the fact they look like Saturday morning cartoons. Look at Beetlejuice, another crazy powerful character, basically a demon, who really did become a Saturday morning cartoon in the '90s.

They tend to make characters who don't want the power or who has a child like personality the most OP. Can't be giving someone like Frank Castle god like powers.
