Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore...?
Honest question, I saw every film from mid phase 1 to Endgame, in theaters.
Then came Disney Plus, Loki was great, Wanda vision was different, and the rest range from forgettable, to complete garbage.
I would rewatch Agents or SHIELD, and any Netflix Marvel show (sans Iron Fist), a dozen times each, before I ever paid for another MCU movie.
Before you dismiss me of some hater, I used really enjoy the MCU. I even tried to watch Agatha, and gave it like 2 1/2 episodes before I couldn't take it anymore, it's bad.
These aren't director movies, their producer and studio movies. There's only so much turd a talented director can polish up, and all of these movies are gigantic stinking studio turds.
Plenty or the wheels would come off such expensive productions (they have lost a chunk of change from a few recent films but, overall, aren't suffering). Personally, I'll go and see every one in the cinema - I've liked a lot, disliked a few (The Marvels gets a lot of hate but I rather enjoyed it, which can't be said for the most recent Ant-Man and Black Panther films).
You know they have canceled the majority of the Disney Plus shows they had in the pipeline, and in production, right..? The wheels came off, a year ago.
This article takes a rosier view by not listing all the shows they canceled or permanently delayed, like Iron Heart, but you can find a complete list if you're so inclined to search for a few minutes.

Edit: different issue (that one is from a few months ago). The cancellations and delays are the right move - as I've said many times on here, they were generating content not actual producing quality films and TV shows (if some of them were good it was almost by accident) and the same applies to Star Ward too (which has been badly managed) - no-one was curious about what Kenobi did between then PT and OT, they just spotted an opportunity to bung out a few hours of TV.
Moon Knight is amazing. Hawkeye and She-Hulk are good.
