Marvel should be synonymous with a good time, but increasingly, it’s synonymous with bloat, bad VFX, and poorly scripted film and TV.

That’s only six years later than sane people.
Yeah makes me wonder what was the breaking point recently.
Well The Marvels is coming out soon…
When it starts becoming quantity over quality, that happens.
I laugh constantly at the people who think Marvel’s quality has dwindled. Like, did you see Thor 1 / 2? Age of Ultron?
There’s no such thing as perfection in large productions, with so many moving pieces it’s guaranteed that there’s going to be varying levels of quality.
Exactly. Marvel benefited from a ten-year build up to the Infinity War / Endgame double (two movies which were very good), and also benefited from other well-received instalments towards the end of Phase 3, such as Spider-Man Homecoming, Ragnarok and Black Panther. But there were plenty of movies in the first three phases which hovered around the average mark - sometimes a bit better than mediocre and sometimes a bit worse. These included (IMO) The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, The Dark World, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Guardians Vol 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Captain Marvel. It’s just that Phases 1-3 ended on such a high note that it set unrealistic expectations for Phase 4, 5 and 6.
I imagine that if they can build up to, and execute, Kang Dynasty / Secret Wars as well as they did Infinity War / Endgame, and not stuff up the introduction of the Fantastic Four (and the X-Men if that’s on the cards for Phase 4-6), people will mostly forget about the current wave of mediocre movies and TV shows, and remember the Multiverse Saga as fondly as they do the Infinity Saga.
