Part 2/7:
For years, Disney and the media spun narratives insisting that the MCU remained strong and resilient. They claimed that box office hits and streaming successes signaled a thriving universe. However, the reality paints a different picture. Multiple box office failures, including the recent disappointment of The Marvels, have cast doubt on that narrative.

Still, experts argue that these successes, while promising, might not do enough to salvage the overall health of the MCU. The underlying issues extend far beyond individual movies and threaten to undercut the franchise’s momentum.
