That was out of line so apologies.
Back on topic, I think Marvel's way of doing a standalone movie is the reason why people keep asking "where was x when this was happening" and is why Marvel's world feels poorly built. You can't have crises happening with only 1 superhero showing up.
In addition to that, Avengers members like Black Widow, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Falcon and War Machine didn't get standalone movies so, what's with the inconsistency? Spider-Man and Black Panther will be in Cap America 3 as well.
The way DC is doing BvS is the right way. Have superheroes be involved in each other's conflicts.

No worries.
Really? If so they are not familiar with comics because solo series and team series are big part of comics. Asking why Superman doesn't show up every time to help Batman just doesn't come up much in comics. I mean Robin died at the hands of the Joker in "A Death in the Family" and I don't remember anyone saying "Should've had Superman save him". I feel the same way about video games and cartoons as well. Arkham games are great staying with Batman and crew, I don't need the Flash coming in to help.
The reason every film shouldn't be a big epic team up is those solo films allow for character development so we just get the pay off of event films like Avengers. On its own in a vaccuum Avengers would have been a fun, but pretty shallow film. It had the solo films to do heavy lifting so didn't need to ask who these people were. Have to keep in mind while you and I may know immediately the story of Wonder Woman or Green Lantern to many people this will be their introudction to them. Know that was the case for Iron Man and Thor.
Secondary characters don't get stand alone films because they are not the stars. I will say in Avengers 2 Hawkeye and Vision got more development than Thor or Captain America for example. The big exception in MCU is Spider-Man, but we know the legal issues as to why he will be introduced in Civil War before getting solo film. If in the Justice League or solo films a Nightwing, or Black Canary, or Captain Marvel (or Shazam I guess he is now known as) show up then fine with that as they aren't the A-Team.
A-Team
1. Superman 2. Batman 3. Wonder Woman 4. Flash 5. Green Lantern 6. Aquaman
These characters all deserve a stand alone film, they are iconic and pillars of the Justice League for decades. Everyone else is a bonus (a huge bonus for a comic fan like me!) and can tag along as seconary characters.
We will see. Again, I want this to be good and enjoy it. Man of Steel left me cautious about their direction with the DC Universe. I hope BvS gives a great story and allows me to see a great Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, and Green Lantern film as well. I would love to see them all built up and then massive fight against a Darkseid in a Justice League film.
