This is why the Marvel movies are so unique. They haven't stuck to each comic issue religious (you couldn't possibly film that), but they've kept the themes, characterizations, and general appeals much more faithful than the people who made, say, the X-Men, Spider-Man, or Fantastic Four movies.

I agree. There are times, however, when a person who takes over a project has a real passion for the source material. Raimi had a lot of passion for the early spider-man comics and it permeated through the work.
Largely though Disney has put a lot of Marvel people in lofty positions as well as hired a guy to lead the Avengers charge who is an avid comic fan and has a back ground writing marvel comics. It's not a coincidence that putting people in charge who have a passion for the projects are creating better films.
