MCU is collapsing in on itself and Variety has the scoop

[Jman]

Out of control budgets, a lead villain under indictment for assault, and diminishing returns from both the audience and the critics.  It all adds up to a collapsing empire.

One could argue the MCU is a diluted, popular version of Marvel Comics, and thus it's a good thing.

I just think fundamentally that people had bought into the overarching universe and the build up to the infinity war finale as an actual conclusion, and people were sort of on board for some of the earlier epilogue-ish movies/shows, but then universal Marvel fatigue set in. And that was the backdrop for all the other issues people are talking about like the oversaturation/quality/allegations etc.

Post-End Game, I think the only stuff I've seen have been the second Spiderman, the first episode of WandaVision, and She-Hulk. They just kinda exploded with content and it felt even more like homework than the old stuff without skipping around, so I never got around to watching the things I actually wanted to see.

yea not to mention treating the vfx teams like shit ergo the end product looks like shit

At this point the smart play is to cancel their upcoming slate, have Deadpool 3 completely make fun of this, and start fresh with the X-Men and Fantastic Four.
