Part 7/9:
Despite their public statements promising a shift towards better content, Marvel's actions tell a different story. The planned "Young Avengers" movie, with a hefty budget of at least $200 million, seems destined to struggle. If the traditional Marvel formula—relying on ensemble casts, impressive visual effects, and familiar characters—no longer draws crowds, then the entire foundation of their strategy needs reevaluation.

While inclusivity is important, Marvel appears to be prioritizing these themes over storytelling quality, risking alienating core fans who feel left behind or disinterested.
