I don't know why they can't just acknowledge that. Such an absurd thing to blame it on viewing habits.
It feels like their egos have gotten too big because of the original MCU and they've gone full 'Disney' in thinking that whatever they decide to put out is going to be great and groundbreaking.
Just look at the next Captain America film, they're already trying to market it as the next Winter Soldier, and I think that's only going to make it seem disappointing to viewers - even if it turns out to be a solid film.
The characters and storylines simply haven't been very good. Some have, but none of it stacks up to the original MCU films.
It's become Star Wars in a lot of ways. Riding the success of the original characters but trying to market it as being as good as the original.
I will maintain that the biggest problem post Endgame is Chadwick Boseman dying tragically young. If that doesn't happen, you have a future Avengers film led by him, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, possibly Hemsworth, possibly Ruffalo, and Cap 2.0 is still more of a peripherial player. I think Anthony Mackie is a ton of fun, but there's nothing in his story that makes me think people flock to the theaters to see that movie. I liked F&WS more than most people, but I will admit a lot of my reason for that is Emily Van Camp
WARNING: I have a deep-seated desire for others to love the Star Wars franchise as much as I do, in exactly the way I do, and get snippy and sensitive and passive-aggressive when they don't.
