Werewolf By Night's "new" Marvel Studios logo is more than just an eye-catching graphic, but is it enough?

However, in the end, that's just a drop in the bucket when it comes to artistic freedoms in this franchise. While the logo was given a spooky filter and disconcerting music, is that really enough to signal that the MCU world is open to change? After all, the actual images shown in the logo remain intact - the same heroes and script pages we see before every Marvel project.

It would have been interesting to see things changed just for this special, perhaps featuring some of the series' villains instead of its heroes. Maybe some images should have been replaced by our heroes in more harrowing situations. Just something, anything to make sure this special stands out rather than another reminder that the MCU is the current dominating force in pop culture.

It's not a bad thing at all that the franchise wants to experiment with genres, and in fact, this special should be a welcome break from the limits it has imposed on itself. Unfortunately, those restrictions weren't completely dropped for "Werewolf By Night," and the opening Marvel Studios logo is the best possible representation of that.

"Werewolf By Night" is now streaming on Disney+.
