I don't really care what the story arc is. Infinity saga, multiverse, whatever. The stories have just been bad.
Multiverse of madness had real potential, but was just bad. No stakes, no ramifications.
Antman was bad AND confusing for its own lack of stakes and the fact that the D level avenger took down a Kang variant.
It's just a mess.
With Phase one through three (four?) Even with below average films (Thor 2, Iron Man 3) You knew they were building towards something, so you'd put up with it.
Now, who knows what's going on, it's confusing. It doesn't help that their big idea for TV series has backfired because nothing is happening in them, the story arc of the MCU is not being furthered by these shows.
Superhero fatigue is a real thing right now, but the MCU isn't doing themselves any favors either.
