I think something happened after multiverse of madness that, I don’t know, broke the mcu for me. Everything that has come out afterwards just tastes, meh. Like, feels there are no high stakes, nothing is permanent, rules are arbitrary, the acting is, let’s be frank, not their best, and the CGI is what is exactly what you get from overworked underpaid staff. Please note this is my own personal experience. And my kids still can’t get enough of it.
For me, Marvel peaked with Endgame. This was the end of ten years of interconnected stories and it was a fantastic run. Everything afterwards now feels like generic superhero films. Superhero battles new bad guy. Multiverse doesn't interest me.
With the arrival of Disney+, there are television shows and films to follow and my wife and I have completely lost interest in the Marvel franchise. There's so much content and we don't find it interesting anymore.
But in saying that, we did see GotG3 as it was one of the film series we enjoyed and we wanted to see how it ended.
They peaked with IW.
All the characters gathered, all the threads joined, all the arcs converged, and the last act, perfection.
Endgame managed to put everything in the tank to just barely match EG, then snapped their series ultimate trump card.
We needed a 5 year break to be able to feel again after that, but, you know, money.
Multiverse is the dumbest cheapest excuse you can have for totally running any running series for exactly this reason.
Like. Congrats. Your characters matter as much as the ones in rick and Morty now
Yeah I agree. They could have in theory made the multiverse with some stakes in it. The Loki show did a good job with it imo. But after that I don't know if they fired a lot of writers or what, because anything that has to with the multiverse is just boring.
With how good the first run was (infinity saga) they could bank on two more main arcs. Multiverse should have been the third, or last, main story arc. Saving the universe just to turn around and say it doesn't matter because there's an infinite universes anyways is really weak.
Multiverse is a reset button. Not a second chapter.
You hit the nail on the head. No high stakes, nothing is permanent, rules are arbitrary. It looks all nice and shiny, but it's just... emptiness.
So, comic book like then? I thought it was fun myself, that’s all I want from these guys..
You really don't want to emulate American comic book success
