To the extent Marvel has a formula, this was it to a tee. Although I disagree that Marvel is a boring formula.
They picked a genre, found some representative samples, explicitly copied some set pieces and shots in the film making. Made some quippy jokes amid super hero action, and they chased down a macguffin.
The thing they forgot to do was ground the characters in the continuity for us. Making us believe that Wanda believes she is justified, instead she just took a heel turn fully aware that she was the bad guy now. And like I said with the variants, we just needed something that will easily draw contrast from the real versions we eventually get, the one that seemed easy to me was to make them like The 5 from The Boys, have them so self obsessed that they don't even understand how they compromise the values of a hero. Neither of these problems have anything to does with the horror genre.

Huh?
She came across as feeling very justified.
The "heel turn" felt justified too as she witnessed herself the terror in her boys eyes looking at her, whereas she assumed they would embrace her up until that point. That made a ton of sense to me.
I think everything around Wanda was the strongest part of this film, and she's probably a top 3 villain over the 28 films because of her well-developed arc and EO's acting.
The alt heroes thing sounds like very specific desires you had that were unlikely to be met exactly as you would've had them anyways.
All of them were really cool in their own ways.
The only thing I'll give you is Krasinski didn't have to be so vanilla. But the rest "varied" enough I'd say.
