Part 8/9:
As Marvel’s once-promising streaming saga spirals downward, the only recent bright spot remains Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which has received positive word-of-mouth and box office success. Its performance might determine whether Disney can salvage some credibility before the entire MCU franchise on streaming takes a further hit.
In conclusion, Disney’s experiments with MCU content on Disney Plus have mostly failed, culminating in financial losses, strategic missteps, and declining fan interest. The hasty release of Echo exemplifies how far the franchise has fallen—turning from innovative storytelling into a scramble for damage control. Whether Marvel can rebound depends on their willingness to focus on quality over quantity and to listen more closely to what audiences truly want.
