It’s weird that so many Sam Raimi fans were hoping for a return to his horror auteur form considering we’ve seen a bunch of skilled indie filmmakers squish their vision into the Marvel frame for a big paycheck and Raimi is known to the wider film-watching public as the guy that made the originaltrilogy.

Where’s Vision? Who knows.
