Does anyone still watch them?
I really started to lose interest before the end of the original Thanos saga but kept through to the end of it out of mild curiosity. I have rarely seen any of the shows since.

As a kid I was mad on spiderman, as an adult I think with great power comes great responsibility....therefore I absolutely detest every single marvel film
Same storyline different colour suits

i do watch them and enjoy them, it has sadly run out of steam though
the deadpool film due out next month really is make or break for the whole thing
future projects are just floundering like the blade reboot and the folding in of the characters previously owned by fox
having said that Disney have so much money they can keep chucking it at this franchise until they find a winning formula again

I like them, I'm not too critical about films I just like watching films and don't really analyse everything like many do.
I've watched all the series too and I like them. Marvel or Star Wars I will watch them all, I'm easily pleased

Not really been interested in many Marvel movies since Avengers Endgame. They're too similar.
Although I quite like Dr Strange (bit more quirky) and will definitely watch the new Deadpool movie.
Tend to also watch most Marvel TV series...
My 3 faves are probably Daredevil, the Punisher, and Loki
Moon night and Iron Fist are gash.

Marvel or Star Wars I will watch them all, I'm easily pleased I love dumb action films, but it sucks IMO when the writers bullshit their way out of things. Like when a character couldn't do a thing but they're trapped so now they suddenly get new magic bullshit powers to escape because the writers are lazy. "The hulk is the strongest! Actually no that redhead is the strongest! Actually Thor is a god obviously he's the strongest!" etc. Does that annoy you at all? I've stopped following Marvel and Star Wars because of too much of that.

Also I forgot superman was DC because I never gave a shit about comics so probably not the audience 😂 Thought Logan was the last really good one I watched.

Lost a bit of interest post Avengers End Game as the over arching Thanos story line was decent and the linking of the movies worked well. I quite liked Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2 but for whatever reason I've not watched 3.

I've stopped following Marvel and Star Wars because of too much of that. My pet peeve with the stories is that the bad guy is often just someone with the same powers as the good guy. It’s why I like faction based comics like X-Men, where there is at least some variety. In fact, I think that X-Men is by far the most layered comic Marvel or DC have ever produced.

After the Infinity Saga ended, they kind of lost any kind of clear direction they had with Phases 1-3 and how they established the main characters, The Avengers and ultimately the Infinity Stones/Gauntlet/Thanos.
Phase 4 was a complete mess with introducing far too much and leaving certain things open. They should've focused solely on the multiverse concept considering the "saga" we're in now is supposed to be the Multiverse Saga.
Think they oversaturated the product with TV shows that I don't think were needed or just downright poor like She-Hulk, Secret Invasion and Moon Knight (although Oscar Isaac was brilliant as Marc Spector/Steven Grant). Some of the films were pretty poor as well like Eternals, The Marvels, Thor: Love and Thunder (Christian Bale was great as Gorr) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (Jonathon Majors and Paul Rudd stopped that film from being a 0).
It's a shame really because amidst all the above, there's been some of Marvel's finest work like WandaVision (Elizabeth Olsen was incredible), Loki and Spiderman: No Way Home. Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness was great as well. And Jonathon Majors was brilliant as Kang but he was dropped after he was convicted for assault.
Agree with flea in regards to Deadpool and Wolverine will either make or break the franchise. I think that film is going to do a soft reboot of the MCU, there's a theory about how Deadpool and Wolverine will mess with the events of Endgame which then allows them to bring RDJ back as Iron Man.
And, unrelated to the MCU, Obi Wan was a good series. It was great seeing Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor back together.

Not to get off topic but that in my opinion as a star wars fan was what I wanted to see not some of this other crap that's been served up by Disney recently.

For me Marvel comics/movies are the x-men
I grew up reading my dads comics and the x-men instantly got me hooked.
There are way too many spin offs nowadays and it's diluted the key characters and antagonists by giving them a standalone title they don't deserve.
One of my fave comics when I started collecting was x factor, as it was the original xmen together again. Once they starting losing those characters I kinda lost interest and the spin offs become too costly.
The problem is you were obliged to buy spin offs and crossovers to keep track of a plot line, especially if it was a title you didn't actively have an interest in.
I still have them all and maybe this thread will encourage me to read them again.

But there a lot of different ones, including old detective comics (DC) They make not be worth much in a monetary sense but they are pricless to me as they are one of the few things I have left from his estate.
