Infinity War and Endgame are arguably their last real good movies. There’s a couple others, but that’s when they really committed to The Formula and lost quality.
Yeah, I won’t deny the quality has gone down, too. Marvel’s biggest mistake was thinking they could keep the gravy train rolling past endgame. They SHOULD have let it rest and given the creatives some time to cook and plan a new arc, but instead they pushed forward before they were ready and are paying dearly for it.
It’s the same damn mistake they made with the star wars sequel trilogy–if they had sat on it for a year or two, hashed out a coherent overarching plot, and let it cook, we would’ve gotten something better than “Somehow, Palpatine returned.” Hell, if they needed something immediately, they could have brought in Timothy Zahn to adapt the Thrawn books. Instead they went off half-cocked and gave us a barely-coherent retread of the original trilogy.
it’s almost like they told their saga that took 10 years but forgot to tell the studio. the story ended its like a TV show that kept going like we all know scrubs ended at season 8 but the big wigs were like "We can do season 9, right? " Right now they are running on all momentum and no direction or vision and if they didn’t have those they should have stopped for a bit till they got them.
