A video starting to go viral on Twitter proves what went wrong with the MCU following The Avengers: Endgame.
As I previously have written, Phases 1 through 3 were a big success because they had Jon Favreau, Joss Whedon, James Gunn, and the Russo Brothers onboards as creators.
However, following the release of Avengers: Endgame, that all changed.
Kevin Feige’s new MCU is a big failure
Not only did Marvel replace fan-favorite characters, but it’s also known the new creators behind these movies and Disney+ projects aren’t fans of the source material.
So that’s led to a big downfall which includes the recent failure of The Marvels, the MCU’s lowest performing movie at the box office which was preceded by the big failure of Quantumania.
It’s also known the Disney+ shows haven’t been a big success as She-Hulk Season 2 isn’t happening, and only Loki got a second season. Disney CEO Bob Iger has also confirmed they are pulling back on Marvel, which obviously you don’t do with something that is a big success.
Lots of warnings
Back in September of 2019 I warned you all this was going to happen.
Also back in 2022, a Marvel producer foreshadowed what was to come.
“One thing I think is interesting, and specifically for writers, I would say, a lot of times, we’re pitched writers who love Marvel,” Marvel producer Nate Moore explained to the Matthew Billoni podcast. “And to me, that’s always a red flag. Because I go, ‘Oh, I don’t want you to already have a pre-existing idea of what it is, because you grew up with Issue 15 and that’s what you want to recreate.’”
A former Marvel Comics editor also says more of the same. Watch below via pierrychan1984.

Can confirm, at least on the comic book side: when I was assigned Punisher & Emma Frost/X-Men at Marvel I was advised that I didn't need to understand the comics or the current continuity; self-insert character. The sad thing was: these were f**king comics I read as a child… https://t.co/zFQD0bpXM6
