Those big guns failed previously right? F4 are a joke.
I am not saying MCU is dying for sure. I am saying they need to get their shit together before it's too late.
MCU is now what DCEU was in 2016. Numbers were big but quality was eh. Improve the quality or DCEU fate isn't inconceivable.
Though MCU has a bigger goodwill earned, so they may survive for longer period than DCEU
Old people have habit to claim that the stuff when they were young was better.
I am sure in 10 years I will be thinking that 2010s stuff was better than 2030s
MCU isn't any franchise. All the Threequels & Fourthquel (Only 1 before this weekend i.e. Endgame) had massive jumps.
Thor was eh till Ragnarok. Ragnarok & then Infinity War completely changed that. Love & Thunder was supposed to be the pay-off for those 2 great entries. Iron Man 3 adjusted shouldn't be a big ask for it.
A THOR 4 should be opening closer to $200M. This is eh opening and just barely avoiding a complete disaster by being under Ragnarok inflation adj.
The bad quality of Phase 4 along with D+ fuckery is catching up. Marvel need to get its shit together before it's too late.
MCU needs to get their shit together. They are on path of greatness in India, if they continue the quality they had in Phase 3, can some day hit 50M admits.
Avatar sequels may hit 25-30M if they deliver.
