the trajectory of the MCU is becoming a good argument for art thriving under limitations; they didn't take a chance on weird lesser-known characters because they wanted to, but out of desperation. but now that they made them reliable characters they can just lean on them forever

Before participating in the standard Monty Hall problem, you ask Monty, "If I pointed at door 1, what would you do?" and he truthfully responds "I would open door 2." On the show, you point to door 3. He opens door 2, revealing a goat. Should you switch or stay?
