I'm enjoying some of them still, but Marvel's consistency isn't quite what it was pre-Endgame.
They've been more hit or miss with new characters and new mythology, and with alternate dimensions playing in now the scope is getting towards stratospheric levels with not much keeping things grounded.
Ancient mythology, dimensions and magic are all things now and I think eventually MCU may get to a point of being too big for its own good. You have to explain and connect so much now. Timelines, explanations for why certain conflicts are not made aware to other heroes, etc.
Eventually you can get too much of a good thing to where it's no longer that. I think we're approaching that point for the MCU in the next 3 years or so. Also being that RDJ and Chris Evans were really the glue that held the thing together and haven't been adequately replaced.
They really needed to slow down the introduction of characters and concepts and really just work on developing the characters that are there. Its too much, too fast, with less and less substance.
One day Marvel may just wear out the expanded universe appeal.
The problem is money driving new projects more than a cohesive creative plan, at least of late it feels like.
