Part 4/10:
Gunn reflects on the aftermath of Marvel's "Endgame" as a turning point that made it increasingly challenging for Marvel to produce consistent quality movies. The "blip"—referring to the Snap and subsequent universe reboot—created a narrative void that many believe has been difficult for Marvel to navigate effectively. In his words, it's hard to craft meaningful stories within the chaos of a universe-wide event like Endgame, which has left audiences craving more grounded and emotionally rich stories.
He notes that projects like the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films are somewhat easier to create because they are set outside the direct influence of the overarching universe conflicts, giving writers more flexibility.
