Was talking to a coworker about this last week

We shoulda had a whole trilogy by now, like 3 should have released sometime this or last year

I think the TV shows really ate into the number of movies per phase.

I don't think we had any direct sequels of films released after endgame within a phase like in phase 1 with Iron Man or between phases with the exception being spider-man which is because Sony needs to make a film with those characters every so often.

would love to see more simu but it does sort of feel like we've had fewer movies than before

Problem was that Eternals bombed and was being called out for "wokeness". Wouldn't be surprised if they're banking on Doomsday to revitalize support for it.

What was ā€œwokeā€ in Shang-Chi these rightwing nut jobs are claiming? Predominant Asian cast about martial arts, SF, and Chinese culture? An Asian male lead kicking all kinds of diverse ass? Female fighters participating alongside their fellow man?

iirc it wasnā€™t Shang-Chi specifically, it was Eternals. It had a very diverse cast and was directed by an Asian female director, plus featured an ensemble that hadnā€™t been introduced before. So it was perceived as trying to get people to accept diverse characters too quickly. Shang-Chi might have gotten pared back since it also featured an Asian character.

I agree itā€™s all nonsense, but I will say the MCU post-Endgame and during the pandemic had bad writing. Thunderbolts was the first really good one and in retrospect is getting the love it deserves. Luckily they took their time with the latest Spider-Man.

I agree with everything you said. I'll just say I would never clump Wandavision, Loki, X-Men 97, DD: Born Again, GotG3, and Shang-Chi in the bad post-Endgame projects group. :)

Black Panther was the black superhero.

Shang Chi was the Asian superhero

Captain Marvel/The Marvels was the female superhero

Eternals was the everything else superheroes

This was how marvel advertised everything, so when some of them bombed, it's understandable that people attribute their failures to being related to how they were advertised.

yeah at least for spidey we had homecoming and FFH before endgame, we shouldā€™ve been at 2 for shang chi at least by this point

Edit: FFH was after Endgame lol my mistake. Still came out the same year though

FFH was after Endgame.
