‘Deadpool 3’ is the only Marvel film slated for release on the big screen in the new year
Hmm maybe because there was a writer’s strike for five months, and now probably because their new Big Bad is fired because he’s a domestic abuser (and too dumb to get out of a relationship with the type of girl that steals your phone and runs away). A lot of the next phase was riding on Jonathan Major’s Kang, now they either have to re-cast him, which is definitely doable with Kang, or rewrite the next phase.
Honestly they need to take a break and come back and reset. The MCU has gotten to complicated and interconnected, and people are starting to give up on it.
It’s just mostly boring, Ant-Man, iron man and strange are all the same quippy prick and I like all of them but it doesn’t really make for engaging media anymore.
They can’t pick a tone consistently at all and the interconnectivity is useless if the only impact of one movie is the knowledge of it in the next.
Not just movies, now you have to watch hours long streaming shows to know what’s going on
Marvel: You want to sink 8+ hours into watching this show about a character that you’re not really all that invested in to begin with, and also the reviews have been a mix of about 10% saying it’s good, 60% it’s okay, and 30% saying it’s straight-up bad?
Me: Ehhhhhhhh…
Writers strike
I feel the whole multiverse thing is a bit too nerdy for the mainstream audience. Time travel as well. Also, the novelty of the cinematic universe has worn off.
Marvel burnout from consumers, a lack of anything resembling coherence post-Thanos, too many properties to stream to keep up to date, lower quality and movie reviews, including some complete flops… I’d wager the execs are shitting themselves
I’m at the now where I go “oh no…” when I see the Marvel intro, if I start watching a movie I didn’t know was part of that universe.
