Did the success of Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Wars The Force Awakens affect Mass Effect Androm

Agreed. Starlord's mother dying made feel way more then Alec's death, and she had only around for about twenty-seconds of screen time.

No. But the internal struggles of BioWare and their dubious and increasingly sub-par capabilities sure did.

I hope "Marvelism" goes the way of the dodo and a new Kubrick will stand up.
If/when a new Kubrick stands up it won't be in that "exceptional" wonderland of the free nor Europe for that matter.

I mean, if Andromeda had taken notes from GoTG at least it would have been great.

Lol, Marvel hires great directors who make excellent movies. Taika Waititi is awesome and Thor: Ragnarok will be too.

Besides which, Marvel movies are not the only movies that are currently being made. They don't even account for MOST of the movies. There's plenty of variety if you just look for it. Kubrick would never have made a superhero movie, so why are you looking to superhero movies for a Kubrick experience in the first place?

It's erroneous to give all the credit for a movie to the director, anyway. Films are a massive collaborative effort between dozens to potentially hundreds of people.

Also, you know Kubrick was born in America, right? What specifically about America makes it impossible for another Kubrick-like director to be born there? I'm genuinely asking, because that sentence seems like a complete non-sequitur to me.

I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean. "Marvelism" sounds like it could mean just about any lighthearted action/adventure film, but some of the films in the MCU are more serious than others, like The Winter Soldier. I'd certainly not want everything to be more like Kubrick's films. Sweet mercy I might as well just watch nothing but cartoons at that point. 

I think MEA needed some "Marvellism" if I'm being honest.

You can fairly criticize Marvel films for sometimes being too comedic and constantly undercutting drama, but at those films core are great characters that capture your interest and make you care about whether they succeed or not. That's why I can forgive them for having weak villains, weak plots, and sometimes weak or tired themes, because despite all that the characters make the journey worth it all. That's why liked DAI despite the game being full of lame fetch quests and a hammy villain. That's why I defend ME2 even though its plot is generic and its villains are possibly the weakest Bioware has ever created. Without strong characters your story has nothing to drive it or make me give a damn. To me, that's why MEA failed as a narrative and a game. I could of forgiven the Archeon being a generic Space Nazi. I could have forgiven the weak open world gameplay. I could have forgive the bugs and subpar graphics. I could have forgiven the cringey humor. I could have even forgiven the many, many plotholes, but what I can't forgive is a Bioware game where most of the squadmates are "Meh" at best. The MEA could have been dark, light, optimistic or nihilistic, but in the end it had to be character-driven and to me it wasn't.

Guardians of the Galaxy and Force Awakens for all their flaws as plots or meaningful narratives at least understood that. I can only hope that Bioware remembers that in Anthem and DA4.

In the case of Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn is the best I have ever watched in action, and I live on movie sets.

Also, in the case of Marvel movies, you are talking about the collaborative effort of over 1000 people.
