The Prequel Trilogy was bad enough that anyone with standards was willing to fall back on the original trilogy and forsake the prequels... but it wasn't the mere existence of those movies that burned people out, it was the fact that they were terrible. Rejection of the prequels wasn't fatigue-based, it was quality based.

To emphasize this again,no one seems to suffer Marvel fatigue, despite getting about 3 films a years for years now.

Then again, to play Devil's advocate and offer a counter-point, part of that reasoning could be because audiences have known that all the films were building up to IW/Endgame for quite a while now, something basically unique in the history if film making, always giving audiences a reason to come back.

And there IS something to be said with Star Wars having 6 films in 30 years, and then 4 in as many come out. That transition IS pretty jarring, especially if it doesn't benefit from a planned giant build up, a la Endgame (and back when Disney boldly announced like 7 different SW films and TV shows before scrapping half of them after the TLJ reactions and Solo bombed, you kinda feel they might have been trying to recreate that Marvel mega-movie thread).

Don't get me wrong, anyone that has curiously glanced at my SW posts knows that I think all the recent films, minus RO can be jettisoned into the sun, and that I have very little faith that IX can salvage the series at this point. Hell, I never saw Solo, and never will. I don't want that characterization burned into my mind.
