Of course not. They still have the F4 and the X-Men characters to use.

Marvel should have taken a break after Endgame. Instead, they went the opposite direction and started doing too much. Chapek demanded more and more content due to Disney plus and that's why they're in this position. Not only do you need to keep up with the movies, now you also need to watch the shows on Disney plus. It's just silly.

Yes, until they bring in people who can write and who will treat the characters correctly Marvel will continue to fail.

You need a great villain. So far we have not had them.

Doom is coming. That along with the correction away from the “DEI over story” model should seriously reset the MCU back to its former glory

Marvel is done. There’s no coming back from this:

I didn’t think so but you may be right.

I thought Majors played a menacing Kang and it had initial potential. One problem is Kang is not that well know. I barely know who he is and I collected comics a few years in the 90s. Dr Doom was a logical next big baddie and he’s well known.

I don’t know why RDJ is playing Doom. Seems fricky. MCU seems rudderless.

It looks like shite IMO.

Whoever would have ever imagined that one day the Jessica Alba flicks would be known as the "good" Fantastic Four movies.

The FF is in a separate timeline with RDJ as Doom and will try to correct the off the rails shite the last phases of marvel created. Eventually when the crossover happens RDJ will become iron man again.

Fantastic 4 looks great. I think they keep making the occasional great movie w/ a lot of garbage surrounding it.

All these movies are the same. Lots of CGI and bad acting. Now throw in a unicorn and some woke flakes. They did it to Star Wars. SMH

So more multiverse. I know they probably just wanted RDJ bc he’s popular, but story-wise I think it’s needlessly messy.

I don’t know what you’re looking for in a F4 movie, but the preview I saw looked pretty good. I mean we didn’t get Lizzo as Sue Storm so that’s something.

I think they want to close the multiverse as much as possible by using the universe FF will take place in to fix the OG timeline. It’s going to be Secret Wars in name but its main function will be to repair the damage done since Endgame. This is their last chance so expect the original Avengers to be brought back to some degree with Tony and Cap headlining one or two of the big team up movies.

If they don’t nail F4, the next two Avengers and X men…they’re dead in the water

Spider-Man made 1.9 billion, D&W 1.3 billion, Doctor Strange 960 mil. I think saying done is a bit of a stretch.

They're moving all of their productions to the UK so frick them with Shaq's dick. No matter what they tell the press, the real reason is because of some loophole to get out of paying their crew's health insurance.

Done in what way?

They clearly still have some money to keep making movies (how I’m not sure, but they do), and so long as they do there’s the chance to right the ship.

I do think they underestimate how much relief in the charisma of their leads. Mackie at least is charismatic but technically they found him in Phase 2. I don’t know if they’ll manage to build a cast as likable as Evans, Downey, Pratt, Hemsworth, and ScarJo. Of that list three of their characters are dead; I don’t know if Hemsworth is slated to appear in anything else or not.

Also the next most charismatic group were the GotG, and it appears they’re done with telling their stories.

The best post-Endgame movies felt like finales:
GotG 3
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Deadpool and Wolverine (barely an MCU movie)

What’s the next best movie? Shang Chi? Not a bad movie, but the first half was WAY better than the second (the bus fight is one of my favorite fight scenes in a Marvel movie).

There are some ingredients there to make a really solid batch of Avenger movies (but no one should pretend they’ll be on the same level as Infinity War and Endgame). I just don’t know if Marvel and Disney get what they screwed up and are willing to fix it.
