On the one hand, if less volume means increased focus/quality per film, then great.
On the other hand... They're talking about "more avengers" in 2026. Look, it's been 5 years since Endgame. They've MORE than spent their "we need to build back up like phase one" token, by now. And there is NOTHING to care about, anymore. Cap amd Tony were the heart of the team, and there's still no good replacement for them. Thor's fucked off to do his own thing, the Guardians have split up, and Gamora still doesn't give a shit since she was replaced, spider man deleted himself from everyone's mind, Dr strange was barely a member in the first place, and has ALSO fucked off to do his own thing, Captain Marvel is a charisma vacuum who does not give a single shit about anyone else on the team... like, there IS no "Avengers" anymore, and what they have isn't nearly cohesive enough to stand next to the original group, even in their first movie.
To say nothing about how directionless it all feels. Kang was a flop, and now They're pivoting to Galactus, it looks like. Phase 4 was a bunch of pointless, disconnected character pieces that fizzled out without a capstone movie. Half the movies ended major character arcs, dissolved groups, etc. and replaced them with nothing, so there's nothing left to be invested in. It's clear they were banking on people resonating with Captain Marvel and The Marvels so they'd be the new "heart and soul" of the group... but that didn't happen.
Now they have three (?) Movies to pull it all together and make it work? Yeah, I REALLY don't see that happening. Series should have ended with Endgame.
Whenever people say stuff like this I just have to assume they have completely forgotten about everything pre phase 3. There was never a driving force or connection between every movie. Every character fucks off at the end of every movie. Every Avengers movie is about building the team up or struggling to integrate new members. I don't know what movies people watched before when they say that phases 4 and 5 are disconnected when damn near every movie is a team up or sets up a future plotline. There's less fluff now than ever before.
