ROBSERVATIONS host Robert Meyer Burnett reads an article about the nature of science fiction and how it differs from other forms of fiction.

ROBSERVATIONS host Robert Meyer Burnett shares an article written by Emma Garland in Esquire Magazine positing that Matt Reeve's new Batman feature may finally force Marvel Studios to change its formulaic approach to manufacturing superhero movies (https://thepgs.co/3KWUcCR).

According to Ms. Garland, "audiences are becoming bored - and more openly critical - of Marvel monoculture."

It's safe to say that Rob does not agree and lays out his case - based on widely available evidence and fact, not supposition, that what Marvel Studios has accomplished with the MCU is outstanding by design and not accidental. "MCU films are four-quadrant entertainment made for mass appeal," explains Burnett. The consistent high-quality production values, prestige casting choices, and attention to character stories and development sets the entire catalog of films apart from anything else ever produced in the history of the motion picture industry.

Best known for directing, co-writing, and editing the award-winning cult favorite feature film FREE ENTERPRISE, starring Emmy winners William Shatner and Eric McCormack, Rob Burnett offers his own unique perspective on the entertainment industry in his daily “Robservations” video blogs – free-flowing, streaming conversations with fans about everything from toys to comics to movies and television. Rob brings an interesting perspective to the world of genre entertainment that’s definitely “big picture” stuff.
