Are Marvel relying on people going to see it multiple times? Because those days are over.

I think the biggest issue is that Marvel gave fans a perfect jumping-off point with Endgame…and then hit a slump, giving audiences very little reason to jump back on.

We could write a book about all the mistakes Marvel made after the Infinity Saga.

Problem is that people who saw the last couple of movies can't be bothered to show up for Marcel movies anymore. Plus it has strong competition from other movies so casual stroll-ins into movie theatres might choose to watch something else

I started skipping a couple of marvel movies after endgame and now the trains kind of left me behind. Interconnected movies are awesome until you fall behind. Then you've got a bunch of movies you have to watch first. Or at least that's what my brain feels like I have to do (even if it's not true).

And not just prior movies, hours and hours of TV series content. The movies (marvels, brave new world specifically) starting to feel more like climatic crossover events of the shows, less like their own stories.

This behavior tracks closely with the comic books medium unfortunately, but I hoped they'd do better to keep the films insulated from "homework".

That's the problem with Phase 5, very few of the films were interconnected.

The next big thing is the Multiverse stuff, the films that touched on that you can pretty much count on one hand.

Antman and Wasp Quantumania
Multiverse of Madness
No Way Home
Deadpool + Wolverine

That's it. The other 10 films in Phase 5 are individually unrelated. I loved Guardians 3, it has fuck all to do with the multiverse.

“Are there going to be any multiverse movies in this multiverse saga?” -Dr. Ian Malcolm

There was also Loki, but yeah they should have with Secret Invasion as saga instead of a crappy TV show.

Nope. I skipped the last few movies and absolutely saw this in a theater, and am prepared to see further MCU movies in theaters if and when I think they warrant it.

The MCU isn’t helping itself with their weird slowdown of how many movies they release per year. They want to pretend we have superhero movie fatigue. We do not. We have mediocre movie fatigue.

I’d see two movies a month in the theater if they were all at least as good as Thunderbolts.

My next theater movie is likely going to be Superman.

I’m up in the air about F4. Historically I don’t care about them or Galactus, but I’m willing to have my mind changed. We’ll see.

I've lost interest in seeing Marvel movies in theaters. Or really at all. I've heard this one was good, but all that made me think was "oh maybe we'll watch that next year at some point."
