31 movies in, I wont judge the franchise due to an ant man franchise. A lot of marvel goers I know don't even watch antman movies.

This movie itself was weak. One of the weakest from marvel in a long time but kang saved it from being a bad movie. 6/10

Luckily black panther came out a few months ago and was awesome

Probably downhill since last year's stuff was pretty meh as well.

Deadpool 3 is probably gonna be the next big one after GotG 3.

It's been in limbo every since Endgame ended

The best mcu film in recent years is a nostalgia cashgrab

I'm sure the practice of throwing them on D+ after a few months kills hype for getting to the theater. Especially for something like Ant-Man.

The quality of phase 4 has just been pretty low comparatively for my personal taste. I enjoyed half the movies with the other half being average at best. Almost all of, aside from one or two, of the tv shows were just bad overall. Haven't watched Ant Man, but will on Disney+. I am interested in Kang, X-Men, and Fantastic Four, but overall everything else I don't have much excitement over other than a slight interest just to see how everything is going.

It's weird how people are ignoring the past 3 films actually being successful to reach this conclusion.

Or the fact phase 1 wasn't really that good which phase 4 is basically. It wasn't until Avengers that people started loving the MCU.

It's not dying, but they're going to have a rough three years waiting for the rights to Fantastic Four and X-Men to come to them. Prior to the MCU, superhero movies often had a wait of two to four years between sequels. Maybe it would be wise if they just let the X-Men reboot be the next mov-- Nah, they're totally going to squeeze every drop they can out of the MCU in the interim.

I do believe it's setting in though that they can't just slap the MCU label on an unknown license and get the same results they had with Guardians of the Galaxy. Not every story has a Groot or Rocket (Raccoon) to carry them through.

One can only hope. The movies degraded too quickly into quippy, reddit tier humor that's spreading to other ips.

Absolutely. There hasn't been a single great movie since Endgame. No Way Home was OK but extremely overrated. The only decent TV shows were WandaVision and Loki, Everything else was pure garbage

The MCU is always "dying" until we get something like No Way Home or Wakanda Forever that makes everyone shut up. What I will say is that the formula is getting a bit stale though and change is gonna be necessary for the MCU to continue on.

I think increased competition from DC (with them finally having a unified vision for where to take the franchise) along with Deadpool 3 being a potential box-office smash hit will make Marvel Studios more willing to take risks.
