End Game happened and we were all done with it, we occasionally watched the stuff that followed (the bale film) it they had absolutely zero interest in anything else (moon Knight, the eternal and all the other stuff afterwards) just no appetite for it, the story was told /we didn’t care about a bunch of characters from other comics we’d never heard of they may have cared for the tent pole characters like iron man or what have you but they haven’t done that, it’s just a load of shite since it’s really not that deep but idiots like Jeff Marvel just can’t accept it and it’s fell off after the massive success of what they built up to.
Yep. The only shot they had of saving the whole thing was taking a hiatus for a year or two and starting fresh with F4 or X-Men in a new universe. They could have gone multiverse to bring in the old characters that way, but it needed a new story. Thanos literally snapped half the universe out of existence with the most powerful weapon ever made. Where's the threat coming from after that?

Good MCU films:
Iron Man
The Winter Soldier (because it doesn't care how completely stupid it is, like The Dark Knight)
Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy (but not really 2)
Thor: Ragnarok
Spider-Man: Homecoming
The Shadow Realm part of Thor: Love and Thunder:
Ultron Entrance from Avengers: Age of Ultron (otherwise easily one of the worst movies):Spoiler: (click to show)
This does not mean others are bad, just that they aren't good.Spoiler: (click to show)
That's it, that's the factually correct list. Any dismissing of concerns that this list is factually correct will lead to actioning for putting staff in danger.
