No Way Home

This was the only thing I enjoyed.  Wanda Vision would be on the list if not for the last episode.......

[theCapraAegagrus]

No Way Home is the only Phase Bore property that I can fathom re-watching. I wasted my time by forcefully-digesting the rest. I won't make that mistake again.

Edit: The first 5 episodes of Loki were decently entertaining. The finale sucked.

I agree with this list, although I haven't seen Love & Thunder [& might not]...

Now I wanna see if you can make it further into the movie than I did. Just turn it... You know you want to... Let me know how far you get before you turn the TV off.

It's like a drinking challenge.

The rewatch factor has completely left the MCU.  Suspect, that is one of the biggest factors in the decreased box office.

I can't blame anyone for getting fatigued.

• This month, I gotta watch Spider-Man.
• Next month, I gotta see The Batman.
• Next month, I gotta watch WandaVision.
• Next month, I gotta see Love and Thunder.
• Next month, I gotta see Hawkeye.
• Next month, I gotta see Black Adam.
• Next month...

It's getting progressively worse. The Golden Age of CBMs left a few years ago. We're in the Consoomer Age, now.

If the films were well made with great stories the fatigue wouldn't even exist, I can watch Captain America: Winter Soldier, Avengers Infinity War and Wonder Woman many times and I have.  The fatigue for mediocre is very real though. Thor: Love and Thunder was the straw that broke this viewer's back.

Having to do homework via Disney+ isn't helping. If the Marvel TV shows were required homework in Phases 1-3, I may have quit long before Infinity War. It seems like High Quality and High Quantity have never overlapped in the comic book industry. It's a limiting genre.

It became pushing the number of subscribers on the streaming platform over making quality content. Unfortunately what it creates is a very fickle viewership that grab their subscription to view what they want and after a binge watch cancel.

Likes

Wanda Vision

No Way Home

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (I liked the bromance).

 

One dislike I had was the special visual effects  in a lot of the Marvel Phase 4 stuff. Seen a lot better visual effects on the Playstation 5.

I think the series have ended up hurting the MCU tremendously.  It is no longer special, especially when you have an endless stream of content, people are getting burned out. The endless implication that you must watch it all to get the full effect, is causing people to just say it is not worth it, it is just too much of a commitment (especially given the drop in quality).  By putting the shows behind a paywall, you have created a situation where some fans feel lost or alienated because they have not seen those shows. I would also say those shows have been more misses then hits, so those fans skipping out on D+ have no incentive to pay to see them. It has divided the fandom.

 

People are breaking the habit, and finding they do not miss it.

I honestly liked portions of the entire phase 4 (although Ms. Marvel was honestly unbearable), but disliked many parts of each movie/series at the same time. The return of Daredevil in She-Hulk episode 8 Ribbit & Rip It was probably the most entertaining for me.

Black Widow, Chang-Chi, Eternals & Ms. Marvel barely left an impression. I am Groot probably did a better job in those few minute segments. They really made the gods look like fools in Thor 4 & although Wakanda Forever was full of wonderful tributes to Chadwick Boseman, I think they made a big mistake by not recasting the character.

No Way Home & Multiverse of Madness were the most significant to me, but I feel Quantumania may live up to my expectations better than most of what Disney has churned out in phase 4. GotG Holiday Special looks like it could be fun though.

[s-man]

My top 5 that I've seen so far (INPO):

Spidey NWH

What if...? (Can't wait to see the next batch!)

Hawkeye

WWBN (Hope Swamp Thing gets his own special)

Loki

Spider-Man, Dr. Strange and Loki are all I've watched

I skimmed What If. Found that pretty stupid

[Cat]

I now find the idea of rewatching any Marvel movie draining. They've sucked the fun out of me, and I still haven't watched the shows and 2 movies from phase 4 - Thor and Black Panther. I just couldn't be bothered.
