The people going to see Marvel and who talk about Marvel on YouTube aren’t kids. They are 35+ year old men. Just think about that for a second. Nobody is saying it’s wrong to enjoy your media but when a specific demographic of people latch on to superheroes from their youth, then get exploited by Hollywood to the point that these movies are over saturated, it just all comes full circle. Little kids don’t care about Batman when some 45 year old dude keeps complaining about Batman, it’s not cool anymore.
They should try making good movies for a change
What the heck does this have to do with economy?
Maybe stop making movies out of CGI? Or just stop for a while. You hit all the major characters to death (some literally). Then you dig up characters nobody cares about. Then you dig into their nemeses backstories. The cow has been milked. She can’t be milked no more.
Find a new topic or theme and let’s put this MCU shit to bed already. I was over it when Age of Ultron came out. I haven’t seen any of the new Spider-Man movies. Only reason I watched the one (Avengers) before end game (I literally can’t remember the name) is because I had a 9 hour flight and thought it would help me sleep.
Seriously, good night. Bessy to pasture. Give it up already.
Edit: clarifying
MCU has been going on for a decade and a half. There’s an oversaturation of content, and for most people its seemed directionless and mediocre ever since Endgame.
I feel like Gen Z is the only demographic that Marvel actually markets to. I can’t stand all that green screen acting, not a Marvel fan at all.
Studios need to stop beating this dead horse and put some thought into producing original screenplays again. I don’t care if it’s Horror or Romantic comedies, everything is either a reboot or Marvel fodder these days.
There’s just so much crap from marvel, and almost all of it is underwhelming, to mediocre, to straight up terrible since Endgame.
Marvel no longer is associated with quality, it’s associated with mediocre slop that nobody should bother watching. This is true especially when gen Z has much more attractive options for entertainment.
If you look at what gen Z actually likes, they’re gravitating towards anime both old and new, and shows like Invincible and videogame adaptations
Disney, like all things has destroyed marvel and made it dull and boring again.
The real answer here is Disney+. It’s cheapened perception of all Disney movies, which is why all of their departments including animation are struggling.
Why would someone go see The Marvels in theatres when it’ll be on iTunes in a few weeks, and on D+ a few weeks after that?
It’s not like there’s any rush to see it when there’s 33 Marvel movies and a million TV shows to catch up on. Teenagers were born AFTER Iron Man came out, so their entire MCU experience has been watching it on Disney+.
In order to succeed these days, movies need to be “events” where people need to see them in person. Like Barbie, FNAF, or the Taylor Swift concert. It’s less about the movie and more about the experience.
This is paired with the MCU’s declining quality. The Marvels got a B CinemaScore, which is atrocious, but it also comes in the wake of failure after failure, which compound over time.
So much speculation about these movies. Look- just write good scripts and then remember: the magic was when these big characters from different movies came together (not minor characters from TV shows).
Who actually care about this
Maybe it’s because their movies are dumb? Very nice visually, but the stories are too simple and sometimes clearly make no sense.

Marvel has a “making good movies” problem.
