re: Is the MCU having just a hiccup or is it starting to fall apart?

1. Black Widow lawsuit
2. BW appearing to underperform

Lawsuit won't come to much. And i think fans really didn't care about BW as many have said it should have been a phase 3 movie. The character is already dead and wasn't that interesting to begin with.

3. Appears to be no release of BW, Shang Chi, and The Eternals in China

Mid-major releases and I'm not sure China's market is really open enough for them to spend the money.

Is this the start of Marvel fatigue or is it just a hiccup?

I lost real interest the MCU after End Game. Now i might watch some of the properties, but i don't care about the continuity anymore. But i think this is really just a Covid hiccup. The MCU is still going to print money for the foreseeable future. But i do thing their popularity is waning.

but the MCU is looking more and more DC at the moment

I don't think it's that bad, but they aren't batting 1000 anymore, but they aren't whiffing on as many pitches as DC has.
