Part 6/9:

One of the most glaring problems is how the characters are faring in the current iteration of the MCU. Fans have expressed dissatisfaction with Sam Wilson’s transition to Captain America, feeling that the character hasn't convincingly lived up to the mantle. While audiences embraced him as Falcon and grew to love him during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, their enthusiasm seems to wane when he takes on the iconic shield.

This trend extends beyond Captain America—others like Miss Marvel, Captain Marvel, and Iron Man have also struggled to connect on-screen, reflecting a broader disconnect between Marvel’s character choices and audience expectations. It raises questions about whether the studio can effectively reboot or recalibrate these characters within the ongoing franchise.
