I think there was room to continue other characters’ stories. However I don’t think they left it quite long enough for everyone to really miss it. Then the quality and quantity of what they were putting out quickly proved they weren’t up to the task.

A very good rundown. I feel the same way. The infinity saga was ana amazing triumph, where ever movie made you want to know the next step, hoping for a cameo, following details. And then it ended triumphantly.
And it should have stayed ended. It was over. We had closure. But money says why would they pause? Why would they even take just a few years break to let people enjoy it for a second? Hell no, 2 months later the next continuation starts. And the next, and now we have to watch the TV shows, and we have to watch the next one.
Author was spot on. The excitement was over, so it’s now a chore to follow along.

Exactly that. It’s not that we didn’t want more, but it just all happened so suddenly that we didn’t really get a chance to just absorb the end of infinity war either. It was just immediately into the next thing

It made big money. Just like everything with capitalism, it needs endless growth. Once it hit those big heights of earnings, Disney couldn’t help but to cannibalize its own product to attempt to grow the profits. Investor capitalism always leads to enshitification eventually.
