You also have Disney thinking they can make Avengers money in perpetuity and oversaturating it even further. I actually think that the MCU could still have legs if they didn't release so much and make them all CGI-filled fights in apocalyptic sets.

Especially because superhero comics aren't all big massive crossovers in destroyed cities, there are plenty of more grounded stories that explore the characters.

They also have way too many tie ins, where you need to have seen everything in order to understand what is happening. I'm not watching 3 seasons of shitty tv shows so i can follow the plot of a shitty movie.

Also because all the TV-shows sucked ass and refused to make any real plot-progress for the overarching story, while still somehow making you confused if you missed them.

Spider-man Homecoming showed them a potential alternate path that they completely chickened out on. These movies don't have to end in giant citywide battles and/or have the literal fate of the multiverse at stake. That movie is mainly a coming of age highschool story and the big climax is literally just him stopping a heist. After Endgame Phase 4 could have been a reset back to a certain relative peace. Would have been interesting to see the whole universe, earth included, kinda chill for a bit after everything that happened. OBV there'd be a big bad threat again eventually...but we could have gotten some lower stakes palette cleansers introducing us to the new guys and letting the old guard kinda relax and start transitioning into more advisory roles.

Instead we got Eternals.

Or even the first Deadpool movie. It was not some apocalyptic threat. It was just Deadpool after some guy he had a grudge on.
