Part 7/8:
Critics and audiences alike are calling for Marvel to refocus its narrative strength, emphasizing the need for engaging stories and characters over the idea of legacy and mantle. The essence of what made characters like Black Panther and Iron Man resonant cannot be overlooked; merely passing the torch to new heroes without substantial narrative or character depth hampers potential connection with the audience.
Marvel's existing strategy, compared to previous successful eras where quality directors and strong story arcs led to successful films, seems misaligned with current audience expectations and desires. As discussions about potentially starting afresh circle, the overwhelming consensus hints at a desperate need for returning to the storytelling roots that once captivated viewers.
