Part 6/12:
According to numerous reports and insider interviews, Marvel’s creative teams felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of projects, which often resulted in compromised quality. Feige himself admitted that the effort to feed Disney+’s insatiable appetite for content stretched their resources thin, impacting the overall storytelling excellence.
This overextension led to a pattern of releasing interconnected projects with diminishing returns, which ultimately overwhelmed viewers. The fanbase’s fatigue became palpable, with many feeling that the stories had become convoluted, inaccessible, and repetitious. The decline in box office success and streaming engagement underpins these concerns, signaling a deeper problem beyond mere marketing or audience taste.
