Same. After Endgame I just kind of fell out of the series. And I loved the MCU and every new release was a good day for me. But Disney saw the cash and flooded the marked with low effort media to milk their cash cow as much as they could

I mean, it kind of follows Marvel's own historic struggle with continuing stories past their natural conclusion.

The cinematic MCU had parallel stories of all these different hero plot lines that would intersect in interesting ways. That takes a lot of planning and building, all leading to a single nexus point where it all came together.

And it felt impactful. All the build up led to an epic intergalactic showdown. Twice.

Then afterwards, what are you left with? From an MCU standpoint, everyone goes back to their small little slice of the world/galaxy to do their thing, with some cameos of other heroes they befriended along the way.

To try to bring some level of stakes back, they spiraled down the multiverse paradigm. Just like the comics kind of struggled to make things interesting after the heroes finished their primary arc.

Add on top of that the real world issues of actor burnout on characters they've played for over a decade, and you're going to have trouble keeping up with expectations.

There are still things to do. But they've burned through the primary material like origin stories and top villian arcs, and the original actors have probably fulfilled their contracts and are probably not that interested in renewing.

Phase 4 alone is longer than phase 1,2 and 3 combined. They made it a chore to keep up with everything going on and even though I have enjoyed some of it, I really just don't care anymore. I still want to watch GOTG 3 but beyond that I have no interest in any of it.

GotG 3 is worth watching. It's... something that they made. I mean it's good, but it doesn't leave any type of mark. Which is pretty crazy considering how much fun the first one was.

Chore is an excellent description. I was down for Loki and Wanda vision. But after that (and during Wanda) it's all 90's superhero movies quality. I watched the Falcon show, but I couldn't tell you what it was about or what if any impact it had at all on the rest of the franchise. Spider-Man is probably the only series that's enjoyable.

Pumping out a hundred projects a year was probably the worst thing they possiblly could have done. None of it connects together, which was the hype around the franchises. Multiple world ending events... happen? No one in their world cares afterwards. Why should we? Who did what? Couldn't tell ya, did any of it matter? No idea.

Daredevil should have been the type of focus they commeted to. Character building arcs on the personal scale that actually meant something. Then combine them to ... Ugh you know what? They already did that and it worked why do we need to tell them how to do the same exact thing again?

I'm ranting, I apologize. I have chicken wings to eat.

Edit: Also, the multiverse is a stupid boring idea that should have been one characters story arc and its consequences pop up here and there for those oh shit cool moments. Drenching every other movie in it is pointless.

Is Fargie even still in charge of the movie movies?
