Well? Do you guys think Phase 5 will be better or worse than Phase 4?

So phase 5s movies are:
Quantumania
GotG 3
The Marvels
Captain America: New World Order
Thunderbolts
Blade
Yikes, thats not an inspiring list. The sooner they bring in their own version of the X-men the better because nothing else I can see would be appealing to wide audiences.

Without having seen the first entry of Phase 5 yet I'm hoping it will be better.

X-Men can't make $$$ without Wolverine, thanks to how incompetent FOX was. And the MCU was built on not taking the lazy way out and making everything revolve around 1 overrated character.
No, the MCU wasn't based all around Tony Stark, before you say it.

Quantumania was fun, and Guardians 3 looks great, so I think it's off to a good start. I'm willing to bet Thunderbolts will be at least decent, and potentially very good. At the moment, The Marvels seems cringey and I'm hoping Cap 4 is better written than the show was. We want our heroes to stand for something, but we don't need them going on a seven minute rant about it during the climax.

I’d like to know how it could possibly be worse. I mean I don’t see Phase 5 being good but it would be very difficult to make it worse than Phase 4, unless it was by design.

Quantumania was not a good start, in my opinion. It had too much going on, some very sloppy storytelling, the humor very rarely worked effectively, and the sociological and political agendas on display felt very forced in (to the point where it felt like it was breaking the fourth wall) and they have yet to convince me as the consumer that Kang is someone to take as seriously as Thanos.
Unless Phase Five is able to turn the ship around and deliver better stories with more universal and accessible themes, better filmmaking, and spectacle to write home about, I see it being no better than Phase Four. I think scaling things down is a good sign, but we will see if it was for the better.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the only Marvel Studios release coming up that I have confidence in, the rest? Not so much.

The sooner they bring in their own version of the X-men the better because nothing else I can see would be appealing to wide audiences. Guardians has wide appeal, so I think it's a safe bet that it will do well at the box office. Captain America: New World Order and The Marvels look like they have to really prove themselves - most consumers still generally associate Steve Rogers as being Captain America, and they still see Sam Wilson as The Falcon. Captain Marvel was in a good position being teased at the end of Infinity War and the lead-in to Endgame, but the movie itself is one of the least received entries by general consumers, and it will be sandwiched between Dune: Part II, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Trolls 3, and Wish that have proven appeal to specific demographics that The Marvels wishes to cover (science fiction for Dune: Part II, young adult for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and family for Trolls 3 and Wish - the latter being a Disney release as well, so if The Marvels underperforms, Disney still has another shot that month for good and respectable profit). These movies also come off of television series, and as not everyone has Disney+ and can commit to that many hours of content, the question remains is how the filmmakers go about presenting certain characters, their history, and context for a newcomer. Thunderbolts could work, but the roster they have isn't compelling enough and the average consumer may not help but be reminded of Suicide Squad. Blade has potential, but it won't be a walk-in-the-park to live up to the first two Wesley Snipes led films, which might have been flawed but were pretty unique at the time of release - The blend of German expressionist horror with the techno and hip-hop/rap culture of the late 90's was something movie goers hadn't seen be done, some consider the first two Blade movies as the first "black goth" motion pictures. |

You've decided to like Marvel at phase 4 were you in a coma during phase 1 and 2? Real fans don't jump in halfway through and disregard all that came before to troll a forum because they're loners in life. |

I say Fake fans because real Marvel fans wouldn't keep complaining about "Agendas" that were always there and "forced Diversity" and all the female characters like they do now. |

Stop acting like a pathetic loner in life talking about what's real in being a fan or not you've clung onto phase 4 by disregarding everything that came before which makes you just as bad as these alleged fake fans. |

Phase 4 hasn't messed up anything that came before, quit the hyperbole.
Character die and worlds move on. Stark is dead, Natasha is dead and Steve's retired. Sam is Cap now, Bucky isn't.
Cope.
