Part 2/11:
In recent years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has experienced a noticeable decline in critical and commercial success. Fans and critics alike have pointed out a series of missteps, whether it's poor storytelling, inconsistent tone, or controversial casting choices. As the release of The Marvels approaches, many people expect it to fall into the same pattern of disappointing entries. However, there has been some recent good news: the film will no longer have to contend with direct competition from Dune: Part Two due to Hollywood's ongoing writers' and actors' strikes. This allows Marvel to proceed without the need for extensive promotional tours involving their stars, sparking some hope that the film might avoid many of the usual pitfalls of overexposure and controversy.
