I agree on the movies having to offer interesting characters and stories.
But I don't think marvel comics are running dry in that regard; there is still loads Disney could plunder from the comics
Well, guardians of the galaxy had been very obscure, but I am not quite ready to call them e tier.
Remember blade? I didn't even know it was a comic book character when its success paved the way.
Really, putting the blame on the obscurity of characters is making it too easy and ignores all the fuck-ups around the movies that in my opinion have had a big hand in making them fail (not an exhaustive list):
Also don't overestimate how many moviegoers are also Comic Fans.
I think your view is clouded by hindsight.
When the first iron man movie was announced, the character was a solid b-lister
The guardians of the galaxy were even more obscure during a comparable timeframe and had a different roster.
So b-listers can be elevated by good movies and at the same time a-listers in the comics can bomb (Thor 2, Thor 4, non-mcu: Spiderman 3)
How well-known a character is in my opinion not the deciding factor for the success of a movie. I'd say the quality of a movie and the ability to build hype (which gets harder with what appears to be superhero fatigue) play a bigger role
Dazu gibt es ein relevantes Konzept: Stochastischer Terrorismus. Vereinfacht gesagt es wird gehetzt bis irgender die gewünschte Tat umsetzt
