How Marvel Is Quietly Retooling Amid Superhero Fatigue
The studio’s golden box office aura has been dented, but chief architect Kevin Feige isn’t scrapping his years-long cinematic universe plan, just refining it: “They’re not going to give up,” says an insider.
The only way they can salvage things is to start doing better stories that actually appeal to audiences.

By the time Avengers Secret Wars gets released, it’ll be twenty years since the first Iron Man film.
Twenty years isn’t that long for a film genre to remain popular - look at other genres for comparison:
Hollywood musicals had over half a century from the 1930s on.
Science fiction? Historical drama? Action hero franchises? Crime thrillers?
I’ll say it again - twenty years isn’t long at all for a popular film genre

If you want a picture of the future, imagine Superman’s scarlet boot stamping on a human face- forever.
Someone asked a good question--why did they do Madame Web instead of something more likely to be marketable as a name like Spider-Woman or Spider-Girl?
That character was such an obscure one-shot. And the name sounds like something out of the pulp era or suggests a bordello owner blackmailing customers.
IMO if they wanted to preserve superheroes as something interesting they should back off from the multiverse and series approach--focus on individual standalone films like a Hulk movie set on a desert army base where he is fighting the Abomination and other mutants or a Spider-man movie set in a ski resort where he has to tackle hijackers or something totally devoid of a super-villain fantasy.
They aren't really doing much with a character when they are thinking about how to tie in other ones.
Imagine if Dracula of Frankenstein was made with them already planning for Abbott and Costello to appear--because this is how they are doing these superhero sequels.

You mean Double Plus Good 1984. I have reported your incorrect use of the new thought-speak to the Ministry of Truth.Coming soon Super 1984 .
I remember her debut.I had never previously heard of madam Web.
A rather silly character when you know who it is.

Opinion | Martin Scorsese: I Said Marvel Movies Aren’t Cinema. Let Me Explain. (Published 2019)
Cinema is an art form that brings you the unexpected. In superhero movies, nothing is at risk, a director says.

Let’s Stop Treating The Scorsese-Superhero Movie Debate Seriously
No, superhero movies are not destroying cinema. And no, Martin Scorsese isn't a bad filmmaker. We need to address what's driving this debate, so we can finally end it.

Stargate?Chariots of the Gods style films ?
There might now still be enough in the tank for some kind of film Franchise . I will wager that had the tv series not happened , there would likely have been several Stargate bigs secret films by now,

Fourteen films based on DC characters and eight films based on Marvel characters date from more than twenty years ago.
