Marvel Cinematic Universe
Neko_Ali:
The MCU films are not a single type or genre, outside 'superhero action'. The different films have a very different feel and take on the same source matter. Look at the shift in tone between Captain America 1 and 2. Guardians of the Galaxy has definitely been marketed with it's comedy elements front and center. Which is a considerably different tone than say, the first Thor or Hulk movies.
Thrillho:
I haven't seen Guardians so I can't comment on whether it's a comedy, but the way superhero films are marketed these days when they aren't sequels often seems to focus on the one-liners anyway.
Aimless:
I'd have preferred to keep Wright and lose Ant-Man :o the Russos gave us both Arrested Development and The Winter Soldier, so I reckon Wright would've had a fair chance of making something reasonably good :)

According to the Latino Review
--- Quote ---About 3 months ago, Marvel had notes. The meat of the notes were about the core morality of the piece, must include franchise characters. etc., These notes came from the big four at Marvel. Joe Cornish and Edgar Wright did two drafts to try and answer the notes without compromising their vision.
6 weeks ago Marvel took the script off them and gave the writing assignment to two very low credit writers. One of the writers were from Marvel's in house writing team. Edgar stayed cool, agreed to stay on the project, and read the draft.
The script came in this week and was completely undone. Poorer, homogenized, and not Edgar's vision. Edgar met with Marvel on Friday to formally exit and the announcement went out directly after.
Edgar & Joe were upset by the sudden, out of nowhere lack of faith in them as filmmakers. Fiege had always batted for them but this felt like it came from the higher ups.

and from James Gunn's facebook
--- Quote ---"Sometimes you have friends in a relationship. You love each of them dearly as individuals and think they're amazing people. When they talk to you about their troubles, you do everything you can to support them, to keep them together, because if you love them both so much doesn't it make sense they should love each other? But little by little you realize, at heart, they aren't meant to be together – not because there's anything wrong with either of them, but they just don't have personalities that mesh in a comfortable way. They don't make each other happy. Although it's sad to see them split, when they do, you're surprisingly relieved, and excited to see where their lives take them next.
It's easy to try to make one party "right" and another party "wrong" when a breakup happens, but it often isn't that simple. Or perhaps it's even more simple than that – not everyone belongs in a relationship together. It doesn't mean they're not wonderful people.
And that's true of both Edgar Wright and Marvel. One of them isn't a person, but I think you get what I mean."
