Part 5/8:
Marvel's decision to scale back certain characters is part of a broader pattern of upheaval. The decline in viewership and critical reception for Disney+ series, coupled with dwindling box office numbers, has prompted Disney and Marvel to reconsider their approach.
Notably:
Shift to Lower Budgets: Series like Daredevil: Born Again indicate a move towards less expensive productions, possibly prioritizing quality or cost-efficiency over spectacle.
Audience Demographics: Internal reports reveal Disney is attempting to win back male viewers, which is increasingly difficult as they perceive Marvel and Star Wars franchises as drifting away from traditional core audiences.
