I'm amazed and entertained by how each MCU movie and show manages to find original sotries/characters/sets and so on. Some people say they are "same-y" and formulaic, and I think you may have nailed why it seems that way: because the ultimate resolution is always a big violent fight. In fact, each one has several big violent fights. I remember being disappointed by the very first Tobey McGuire Spiderman because it resolved in a big violent fight. But my partner explained to me that the big violent fights are a super-hero comic book tradition and it wouldn't. be a super-hero story without them. I see the point, so I accept them as metaphor. But, outside the fights, I see a lot of originality in every story. I guess we can thank the comic books for that as well. (I was never much of a comix reader. Funny pages, yes, but comic books, not so much.)
