They spent $220 million to produce the movie…

It's the lowest adjusted for inflation, not sure why they aren't doing that that. They mention it in the article body.

Watched it. It is a pretty OK. Typical forgettable marvel movie. There is a villain and heroes do something, and the day is saved. That is all I expect from these movies t.b.h. Mild entertainment.

I don't understand the hatred received for it though. Most of them either seem to be on either their expectations not being met or they are tired of these superhero movies.

Well if it didn't meet your expectations, don't keep it so high for these movies. And if you don't like superhero movies, don't watch them. Solved.

You have to think of the general public and their patience for subpar serialized moviegoing experiences. Marvel hasn't had a standout movie since Endgame and the final movie of the Spiderman Home series. The last one I saw in theaters was Doctor Strange 2, but that was only because it was the "ending" for Wandavision. The last four movies since then have not been great, and Captain Marvel doesn't exactly get crowds excited. I'm not even going to bother because I've learned from the Marvel movie experience that is so serialized and there are so many references that I'll probably need to slog through the ones I missed to fully enjoy it without being confused. I have mild interest but not enough to change the position I'm in.

The MCU Golden Age is over. We'll have to get past Phase 5 and see where we end up, because Phase 4 only had a few enjoyable films, and Phase 5 so far has been pretty bad.

I haven't gone to see any movies for a while now. The effort to go to a theatre and all that just feels not worth it. I'd rather wait for the films to be available on something I can watch at home.

Why only make series, when you can make siries out of movies? right? I get it, there are fans who still follow and watch the movies and series, but for normal people, like me, wont watch all this.
They expect to make money, like they did with the big ones, but IMO it has gone far away from that, the only ones interested are the ones who like this content. In the end, its more like a machine making, where they have to make more movies and more.

The series would have been fine had they not been needed to understanding what is happening in the movies.

Cue me wondering where I'd missed that Elizabeth Olsen is a villain again in Dr Strange 2.

I can deal with watching a movie every few months on the off chance that some of them are entertaining popcorn guff, but I'm not sitting through endless shows where you see 10 hours of characters you don't care about and their extended families you also won't care about.
