The actual core group of characters (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, ect ect) are fun enough characters and the actors they got to play them have good chemistry. I think that's why it worked. Think is you got two problems, 1) actors age, die, get tired of playing the same role, 2) if you keep expanding the cast you're gonna end up with characters and actors that don't play as well off each other.
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.
