Part 6/8:
The backlash against Marvel’s recent releases highlighted a growing disconnection between the studio’s vision and its audience. Critics pointed to a reliance on recycled tropes, formulaic narratives, and an overreliance on the concept of "wokeness" as detrimental to the franchise's integrity. Many fans urged Disney and Marvel to return to focusing on storytelling rather than allowing social agendas to dictate character development and plot progression.
Films like "Shang-Chi" faced accusations of being overly political, while "Eternals" was criticized for its convoluted plot that felt both rushed and drawn out, leaving audiences yearning for the character-driven tales of yore.
