Marvel’s problem wasn’t that the films got bad. They’re actually all decent films. It’s that they got greedy. Before they thought about linking all the films, they needed to make it so all the films were great standalone films. That just made it feel like we had to commit to everything and that’s just daunting. In all honesty, films like Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Captain America: Brave New World are decent. Though the fighting scenes were subpar in the latter. They really lack fluidity. But they suffer from the now you have to see… In short they jumped the gun and it cost them.

Also Kang was a good villain. Shame they didn’t bleed him into the universe properly. Kang versus Doom would’ve been delicious.

    Man, fuck superhero fatigue.

    If they made great movies and those great movies came out every month, I would abso-fucking-lutely see them. I’d join my local fancy theater’s “I go here too often” club, etc.

    If people can be glued to soap operas week after week, I can handle a good superhero movie each month.

    They don’t do that though. They don’t even do that once a quarter.

    And you can be like virtually everyone here and cry about Disney+, but when the shows were good I was thrilled to pay for it and watch them. When the content stopped appealing to me I cancelled it. Secret Invasion remains the one MCU property I started but have no intention or interest to finish. I do not and will never like marvel zombies, and I strongly prefer live action over cartoons.

    I never got super hero fatigue. I got lack of quality content fatigue.
