This is all my opinion, so take from it what you like.
It appears evident to me, going all the way back to Phase 1, Marvel, had a clear direction in which they wanted to go.
Starting with Iron Man....the casting, writers & directors of all their characters seemed to be home runs.
And each movie built on the next, setting up the future & bigger picture.
It was so well done, even the post credit scenes with hints ,were almost as popular as the movie & stories itself.
And I assume all 'godfathered' by Kevin Feige....it was an imagination machine with no stopping it.
But now with the close of phase 4........something seems ....off? Disjointed? Unclear? Disconnected?
You see what I am getting at.
To me, it almost seems Mr. Feige planned 3 stellar phases & stopped?
Or someone else we are not aware of took over plotting the course for the MCU?
Maybe Mr. Feige wanted a litte break & entrusted someone else to chart it out?
Whatever the reason is, something is clearly off.
The direction & ideas of phase 4, dont seem to flow or lead to a logical end point, its not cohesive.
It seems even more so with the cancellation of or rather, HUGE delays that have been announced with their movies.
Yes I know they laid out a timeline leading to 2 more Avenger movies......but how the story & ideas connect (even using the Disney+ shows involvment) seem to be forced.
Maybe its just me being spoiled with how well phases 1 to 3 were smooth, but its apparent to me, MCU is hitting a wall.
Anyone agree or like to add their thoughts?

Actually I’m kind of think he now has an embarrassment of riches!! They had to make a 5 year plan in case that fox/Disney deal didn’t go thru!! Announced some things b4 it was official!! Now I’m hat I t went theu he’s trying to merge 2 plans into 1!! Just my opinion



 

The merger with Fox, may have played a part in how phase 4 & beginning of 5 seems not so well laid out.
Not knowing what to do or where to go while waiting for the Fox acquistion.
