Launched during the pandemic with a playbook to shoot $150 million-plus seasons with no pilots, the Disney unit is undergoing growing pains and seeing the logic of "traditional TV culture."

As it moves forward, Marvel is making concrete changes in how it makes TV. It now has plans to hire showrunners.
They budgeted, produced, and released ten tv shows in two years, and they never bothered to put anyone in charge? JFC, it all makes sense now.
S’cool with me. The show quickly became more about The Punisher anyway.

Is anyone else just tired of the MCU? It’s just become so…Disney. So safe and unwilling to take chances.

After End Game, I couldn’t envision a future in which I didn’t continue to love and enjoy Marvel movies. There are a few slight missteps, but, in general, you could count on enjoying yourself in theaters.
There’s multiple Marvel movies and shows I’ve yet to watch. They’ve joined Star Wars as franchises I used to love but now don’t even care about.

I like the MCU but I don't really like a lot of the more recent stuff. I'm loving Loki though, but...it's kinda just becoming the superhero equivalent of the Fast & Furious franchise. Just more of the same with each new entry.

The quality is such garbage I stopped watching. I really should do the same with star wars as it’s the same problem.

TV shows is what caused me to drop MCU and Star Wars entirely, since it became too much content to even keep up casually. So I stopped bothering because the quality wasn’t even that great to warrant the massive amount of content being churned out. When it was mainly just movies it didn’t feel like such a chore to stay in the loop.

For me, it was more the movies, but it was the fact that if you missed one, there was no consequences for plot or continuity. They were all linked, but self contained. Initially, it seemed like it was an expansive plot. It wasn’t. It was a bunch of loosely connected plots with cameos.
The tv shows made it more obvious. The cookie cutter approach made it easier. I’m fine with formulas that work, but they need to at least have a soul. The mcu and now Star Wars is basically what happens when you have lots of ideas and characters but no ideas on plot or characacter development.

Please, I just want to see some TV shows set in-universe, without having any major effect on other storylines. Give me a Jimmy Woo X-files spin-off. Give me a sit-com centered around waste-disposal technicians on Corellia. Give me a show about a Mandalorian bounty hunter that WON’T affect the entire galaxy. A show about a low-level villain trying to gain infamy but failing miserably.
