Goooood lord Antman 3 was awful. "MCU is dead."
GotG3 marked a decent the ending for that franchise, which only serves as a reminder that... "MCU is dead."
Secret Wars sucked.
She-Hulk was an abomination (see what I did there?).
Loki S2 was not good.
The Marvels bombed.
Echo was awful.
Ergo: "MCU... still dead."
And lastly, Deadpool is either gonna feel like the other Deadpool films - which is what we want - but that wasn't actually part of the MCU or run by the same creative team, so Deadpool & Wolverine will probably continue to feel like a huge departure from the rest of the MCU and isn't really indicative of its future...
OR...
It'll be Disneyfied, neutered, and turn into a massive disappointment, because... "MCU is dead."
When Marvel can make 2-3 films and a single TV series that are fun, heroic, interesting, and competently written, produced, and edited... we can talk about how the MCU is "back". It's not even close at this point.
