1. He doesn't have to, but if it works stylistically and logistically, then there's not really any reason not to. Plus, having all of these guys in the same universe is pretty cool.

2. As I said, the movies in the MCU as it is, vary in tone. The Incredible Hulk in particular, has a much more serious, and dark feel than any of the others.

3/4. You're confusing topic with tone. Take this as an example: Compare [Life Is Beautiful] to [The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas]. Both are specifically on the topic or subject of the Holocaust as seen from a children's perspective. However, if you've seen these, you'll know that they have very different tones. For starters, Life Is Beautiful is a comedy, and The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas has a uniquely grim feel.

So, although the subject matters you used to draw comparison are true, and do exist (although the Hulk-Cap one was a bit vague, really), that's not what tone is. So, if indeed you mean to say that Daredevil would have such a different subject matter that it wouldn't fit, you'd be wrong. Because a Daredevil movie would be about being a hero, trying to set things right, fighting evil. And that's certainly not what the MCU is about... (last sentence was sarcasm, by the way)

5. Uh, yeah you can. The mythology that focuses on the smaller scale bad guys.

6. Make up your mind, dude. I said "6 films" considering "MCU" as the franchise, in response to you talking about 20 or so films in the franchise.

7. But not yet.

8. But we really don't know what kind of effect that will have until we start pumping those films out. And it's not like it's that dangerous to test it out like this, because we've been building up to it for a while. The number of superhero movies released per year has been fairly steadily increasing. The general public as a whole doesn't seem to tire of romantic comedies, and there's a bajillion of them released all the time. So why not try and make a couple more superhero movies? See what happens...

If they start to lose interest, the number will come down, there's no pressure. And I love that you continued my train analogy, but if you're truly concerned about the train becoming exhausted, then the train is just gonna slow down to a halt, rather than derail.

What's the 13th one, by the way? I counted IM3, Thor2, Cap2, GotG, Avengers2, Ant-Man, ASM2, Wolverine, X-Men:DoFP, FF Reboot, Man of Steel and JL.
