One of the clear things is that audiences are just much pickier about what they're gonna show up for at the box office. The quality at Marvel has been undeniably shaky post-Endgame, but we've seen them show up if they feel it's an event worth showing up for. How you design a connected universe around that, though, is pretty tricky without only relying on your bankable characters. It does feel like this will fastback the X-Men-ification of the MCU, though, which is interesting given how much time and effort Marvel is clearly putting into the Fantastic Four film as a tentpole.

Good thing he doesn't write professionally.
