    They killed the golden goose. If they had waited 10-20 years, it would've given people time to reflect and move on, then welcome it anew. Like how Star Wars has huge gaps between main trilogies, or James Bond, etc.

    People would have been thrilled to go and revisit and older Tony Stark 20 years later working with some new kids or . The series would have had time to recalibrate its style to fit new trends, insted of being emblematic of dying ones.

      They might have been OK if they'd even just have dialed the pace down. I think a lot of people enjoyed the shared universe and worldbuilding when it meant watching one or maybe two movies every year. It was a manageable amount of content, and meant that every new release could actually build some anticipation. After Endgame they really kicked the thing into overdrive, and completely destroyed the market through oversaturation. One or two movies a year? Fine. Five movies and seven low-quality TV shows on your shitty subscription service? Pass.

      Plus, since they've constructed the whole thing to be a big interlocking story (which, again, was fine when it was only a movie or two a year), if you don't watch all of it, you pretty much can't watch any of it. I followed most of the films up until Endgame, but haven't seen any of them since because I know they'd be incomprehensible without having watched Shin Shitto: Interdimensional Esquire on Disney Plus.
