Marvel is mostly fatigue with some laziness. It's not that I don't actually dislike any of it. I just don't have the energy and desire to keep up all the time. A franchise shouldn't be like a product. They're trying to get more and more mindshare by putting out more and more in a shorter time. It's clear it's losing some quality in the writing (though even the "bad" ones still have redeeming qualities in my opinion, like I'm still glad I saw the Eternals, but it clearly is also flawed) due to not having the cohesiveness in story any longer. Look at the big hit video games that are trilogies. Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West had like 5 years between them (though a DLC was released a year after ZD). Sure it's a different medium, but it still shows that sometimes you need to ensure you put the work in and the effort, plus leave the audience wanting for a bit. Having something new all the time just makes it less interesting to begin with.
