Although some projects won the fans’ hearts such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and series like Wandavision, Loki, and What if… all managed to create some form of hope. That has still not been enough for audiences to fully dedicate themselves. In such a case, they have bent towards suggesting more ideas.

Marvel’s Phase 5 And The Disappointed That Followed With It

Though Marvel has had a two-decade-long streak of massive success, that has been dwindling with its recent Phase 4 and Phase 5. Phase 4 weakened the hype around the MCU as its projects were receiving quite harsh criticism on its structural aspects, like storytelling, characters, and CGI. Many expected this to get better with its fifth Phase but saw that the movie that kicked off Phase 5, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, left fans extremely disappointed.

Though Ant-Man 3 was quite good, the audience’s expectations of the movie hindered its performance. Many fans were not too happy with the direction that Marvel was taking with the concept of the multiverse, something that was introduced in the film.

Though many love the idea of the Avengers fighting the X-Men, some are not too invested in this concept as they don’t like the storyline very much. Some want it to be portrayed as a prequel movie that shows an old fight between them. Few added that this concept would be much better as the multiverse saga is already too confusing for general audiences who do not keep up with the Disney+ shows.
