    Haven’t seen the new movie. Even though it was panned I liked the first.

    The biggest issue is just Marvel OVERLOAD in general, people are finally starting to get tired of it.

    We’ve had so much Marvel for so long. People are just losing interest in general.

      The movies have also significantly declined in terms of quality as well. I’m still not convinced super hero fatigue, or something similar, is actually a thing. If you start serving up crap people stop coming.

      No. I wish people would stop repeating this marvel overload/fatigue idea - I’m not convinced it’s a thing respectfully. The truth is, lately Disney has been pumping out a lot of mediocre content. A good story is a good story, period. This movie was not really good, and it required someone to have watched a bunch of other not-great Disney+ shows.

      Marvel has sooo many good stories and content they can dig up from their comics, but ultimately the business side of picking the content and shaping it for maximum profitability is sort of where shit gets weird. One theory is little kids want to go to the movies and make the parent bring them, so the movies are produced (catered) with that goal in mind.

      Rather than marvel/superhero fatigue, I think it’s more of Disney dropping the ball (like they did with the star wars movies, inb4 they made billions, we all know the movies sucked).

      Post infinity war, my opinion is This entire parallel worlds/timelines/dimensions storyline is a bit confusing on what exactly the endgame plan is

        It is absolutely true for me, and the people saying it aren’t making it up.

        You hear it so often because those people believe it. And there are a lot of people saying it.

        I know you’re a super fan that wants ALL your stories. But you don’t make up the movie watching population.

          Nah if it was good content people wouldn’t care. If it was truly “superhero fatigue” Invincible wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular as it is. It came out in a post-Endgame world and is one of the biggest shows on television.

          People will clearly happily still watch super hero content, IF it’s good.

        Everyone has different thresholds I imagine, I got tired of the marvel universe after iron man 2 personally.

      The issue I think is the crossovers. This movie requires you to have seen Captain Marvel, Wanda vision and miss marvel. They need to go back to making movies of a single character and doing a crossover movie every once in a while. I love the MCU but I’m already skipping movies and shows, so I don’t wanna watch a movie and not have any idea who the characters in seeing are
