No shit. Disney has done this routine for decades. They find anything profitable and release tons of garbage until the well runs dry before finding something else.

That + a combination of not really caring about phase 4+ shit I haven't seen a MCU movie since Black Widow which was kinda terrible to boot.

Yeah...a combination of Endgame finishing the first major plot line, and the new strategy of "release 400 TV shows and make all of them canon" cured me of my adherence to the MCU.

Multiverse of Madness was the final nail in the coffin in this regard for me personally, but WandaVision's 'Ralph Bohner' was definitely the moment it got put it on life support.

Absolutely. Asking audiences to see a couple of 2 hour flicks a year and have it paid off with a fun team up flick down the line is significantly easier than asking them to keep up with several shows 6+ episodes each where character arcs that would be a C plot in one of those 2 hour flicks are now the centre.

Yeah. My point was that I was tired of it before the shows were even a thing, so the shows would have felt like being waterboarded.

To me, No Way Home was the peak. It was pretty much exactly what I wanted, both from the other Spideys and Strange being in it.

MoM had me so hyped, but it was relatively lackluster, though it did give me that other thing I wanted, which is why Deadpool 3 is like the only thing I'm really looking forward.

The shows were meh, though I think both WandaVision and Loki came out better than even many of the movies. Secret Invasion is also pretty good simply because of Fury and Rhodey.

Nowadays, I'm just whatever about the MCU. Even if it turns out good like GotG 3, I'm not as excited as I was just last year.

There are loopholes. Look at Sony. They're able to make Morbius and Kraven because those are Spider-Man characters. They could not, however, go out and make an Iron Man movie just because they feel like it.

Disney isn't holding off on an X-Men movie just because they dislike "Men" being in the title.

Yeah, not really sure what they were thinking with that. Not like it has killed the MCU or anything, but they're definitely shifting how people view it for sure. It was kind of inevitable with End Game that some people would fall off, but instantly throwing out like 8(?) shows in a few years is a bit much even for diehard fans who were still on board with watching everything. Only one I watched was Loki.

I completely disagree.

It's a quality issue. If all these shows were at least good, let alone great - there wouldn't be a problem. Fact is the majority are mediocre and even the better Marvel shows so far have been just about decent. Star Wars at least has Andor which is straight fantastic television.

People aren't gonna complain about having too much great stuff to watch, but they will when the stuff they're watching is a slog because it's bland.

IMO a consequence of the streaming world is people are training themselves on TV shows via binging in a pretty hardcore way and are gradually learning to tell the difference between good and bad ones - their bars are getting raised higher and they have less patience for crap. It was probably a lot more easily disguised before binge culture and instant access.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. Sony owns the movie rights to Morbius and Kraven. They don't own the movie rights to Iron Man. They made a pretty public deal to use in him Homecoming.

Disney bought back X-Men and F4 several years ago. They announced a Mutants movie back in 2019 for release in 2021/2022. Having actual mutants start showing up, along with the full use of the X-Men jingle, Professor X showing up, and Wolverine being in Deadpool 3, which is the next movie after The Marvels, not to mention Deadpool being part of the same rights package, is not some deal they're making with some other party. They own it all themselves.

Youre not wrong that theyre not quality, but even if they were, there comes a point when youre just burnt out.

Most AAA open world games are pretty good at least, but Im just so fucking sick of open worlds I cant be arsed to attempt them right now.

The MCU does not have full use of the X-Men until 2025.

If you have the rights to use a song which references Superman, that doesn't mean that you own Superman. They're not going to make an X-Men movie that consists of Professor X, Wolverine, and some c-listers. They're going to wait until the X-Men movie license contracts expire in 2025.

You're just going to have to wait.

They simply don't have room for X-Men right now. Phase 4 and 5 were planned before they even bought Fox and Feige originally even said you're not gonna see them till after Phase 5, but then they also ended up announcing Mutants shortly after.

If you Google X-Men 2005, you'll find several other articles saying the same thing. If you don't believe any of them, that's fine. But I can't think of a good reason why a company like Disney would willingly sit on a billion dollar franchise.

Yeah, it's all tabloid or clickbait sites claiming it's a rumour. Nothing from any of the major superhero news sites.

And even if it is true, the rumour itself is saying that it's a contracts issue with the Fox era actors. Nothing to do with rights or anything. If they don't want to reuse the same actors, they have to wait for the contracts to expire.

Are you seriously wondering why Disney isn't using them immediately? The Fox X-Men ended horribly and people still remember. They need a break. Not to mention, Kevin Feige literally said that they have a 5 year plan already back in 2019. We're in year 2 of that 5 year plan right now.

There's just no room and they weren't gonna scrap things to make room for a plan they constructed before Dark Phoenix was even released.

Even now, they've announced mostly everything up to the end of Phase 6. There's just no room for them.

My biggest issue is that it felt non-stop.

Prior to Endgame, you waited basically 6 months or more between most movies, whereas with the shows it felt like it was just back to back to back to back. Especially if you were into Marvel and Star Wars.

I understand the executive push for it to be that way, but with the sheer amount of content flooding out in Phase 4, it was inevitable you would miss something and once you did, it felt like the spell was broken.

There was no longer hype buildup prior to something, it was just there and if it sucked or was middling quality, then it got slammed.

The sad part is that Phase 4 didn't get off to such a fast start. There was a breather moment between Endgame and Far From Home. Then Covid hit and they were like "Open the floodgates"

I think maybe it was time for Marvel to pivot away from such an interconnected universe and tell some independent stories. Not everything has to serve some greater lore. A good story can stand on its own independent of all that.

I definitely would not be upset if, moving forward, they made half the shows with twice the effort put in. All of the shows have been decent but Wandavision, Loki, and She Hulk were the only ones that were really unique and interesting. All the rest were basically just to introduce some character and their whole arc could be the first act of a movie.
