It's dead. It died of a combination of woke-ism and a dearth of new ideas and interesting characters. Even my friends and family who were big MCU fans have been totally turned off the last several years.

[Rummyfan]

And:

WandaVision is full of echoes, allusions, callbacks, and Easter eggs from old TV sitcoms and previous Marvel shows, creating a puzzle for superfans by entangling them in the increasingly intricate Marvel maze, all of which is fine. But when Black Widow was released, requiring The Washington Post to run a piece entitled, “The 7 Marvel Movies You Should See Before Black Widow,” the danger is that those who merely want to watch, not research a PhD in MCU studies, are left out in the cold. Ditto Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. For those studying for their MCU exams, The New York Times recommended rewatching five films to fully understand it.

I hope so.

[Skwor]

Yep, the politics of woke and utter lack of talent has destroyed a money printing franchise. All done because Bob Igor wanted to shove wokism down peoples throats instead of profits for Disney.

I hope so - comic book movies are sooo 2008.

[Wallace T.]

Woke-ism is a partial explanation for the decline of Marvel and Disney for that matter. However, plenty of media creations have gone full cycle well before the rise of PC and woke ideologies. Popular TV series in the last century went through cycles and gradually lost their audience, which moved on to other entertainment. At one time, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, Rocky Graziano, and others were as well known as the top tier of baseball and football stars. Even with white heterosexual heroes, the comic book heroes would have faded away, though perhaps more slowly.

Avengers: Endgame was the perfect ending.

“$2.7 billion”

would cover the cost of about a dozen flops.

[DouglasKC]

Yeah, once the multiverses stuff starts happening it’s hard to keep track of players. And once they start going all woke it’s over.

On the other hand Scorcese has one kind of movie as well...gangsters. So I’m not sure he should be talking about lack of variety by film makers.

[Pox]

Scorsese’s opinion is his own. Yes, Marvel is dying, but not due to Scorsese’s and the authors reasoning.

Woke BS is killing it. Slowly at first, and then suddenly after Endgame. Well, kind of during Endgame as well. Aside for their retarded focus on female characters, they did extremely stupid moves like turning The Hulk into a freaking pussy in the last couple of movies.

There’s more, but no point in rehashing the stupidity.

[TexasFreeper2009]

they decide work messaging was more important than entertainment. In addition to that the effects and costumes are so bad these movies look like a typical power rangers TV episode.

[MinorityRepublican]

They had a nice run. But they should have wrapped it up and called it a day after they made the Avengers. And not make any new movies for 20 years.

Just because you can make a movie every year, doesn't mean you should.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The only one of them I ever liked was Iron Man, and that was because of Robert Downey, Jr.

Have never been able to watch more than five minutes of any of the others.

““The pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes,””

as Ronald Reagan might have said: “If you’ve seen one superhero movie, you’ve seen ‘em all” ...

[Jonty30]

Wokeism is the biggest one, imo.

The second biggest one is that screenwriters are just crap at their jobs. They can’t write movies like they used to. You only have to look at movies in the 1970’s and 80’s and today. Back then, most movies were pretty good. There were a few duds, but you weren’t wasting your dollar going to see most movies.

Other options is another factor. Why pay $30/ticket, including conccessions, when I can stay home for a subscription price.

Streaming was a huge mistake by studios, imo. With cable, I had everything for one price and a couple of dollars more if I wanted a specialty channel. Now, I have to pay $20/channel to see their content. Not just science fiction, for example, but Star Trek or Star Wars. If I want to see both Star Trek and Star Wars, I have to pay $20 each to do both. I’m not going to do that. There is not enough material in either universe to make it worth my while.

[mass55th]

Oversaturation. Same thing they’ve done with alphabet characters, racially diversity couples and racially diverse characters in shows and movies...especially period dramas. Everyone knows Anne Boleyn was white, but the British had to turn her into a black woman. Utterly ridiculous.

[webheart]

They have gay superheroes and girl power heroettes that have godlike powers that can do anything without any effort. They make the old heroes into women and girls or race swap them. The stories are all woke crap and the villains are the far right. Loki gets kicked in the balls 3 times in one show. What actot wants to play the role of a guy being kicked in the balls?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Let’s hope so. The Marvel freak show is almost as freaky as the Let’s Go Brandon! FJB freak show. I think one major freak show is enough and the far-left wing mainstream “media” isn’t going to let the Brandon Administration freak show go.

[roving]

I grew tired of superhero movies. I’m tired of movies anyway. I don’t remember the last movie, I’ve seen.

The semiconductor company?
