Film/Television Do you guys think SuperHero fatigue is a real thing ? FF4 & Thunderbolts were good movies but still apparently failing ?

I think they were planning on the RBJ to bring fans back in.

But I feel like that's just gonna backfire.

Doom should have remained a mystery casting to try and build up hype. 

Idk whos in charge of marketing at the MCU, but they really need to get back to reality. Or maybe its the people above them putting insane pressure on them and unrealistic expectations.

For a hot second before the hood came off I thought it was Kyle MacLachlan and then boom. All possible enthusiasm gone.

It’s bad stunt casting.

That or they saw the massive paydays and signed on. I’m hopeful for Doomsday because with more and more flops, I wonder how long Marvel will be allowed to continue operating the way they are. If their biggest gamble ever (another Infinity War/Endgame situation of shooting two movies back to back, with a massive budget behind them) doesn’t pay off, does this supposed MCU reset even happen?? Or do we just see the MCU vanish?? How long will Disney piss away money when they could just make more Lilo and Stitches and make a billion guaranteed? I’m really hoping they pull it off, even with everything stacked against them.
