Their “innovation” was having a dozen individual character movies and then big team-up movies. It worked so well that everyone stopped caring about the individual character movies and just want the team-ups. But they can’t afford to do team-ups for everything because actors. So they skimp on writers and production value. ILM did Iron Man and the original Avengers (I think). But ILM is very expensive. By now it’s vertical integration and I think they have a very cheap, in-house solution that handles the heavy lifting and outsources pieces of production. But they’re trapped by their success and can only make money by doing team movies. With dwindling theater attendance, there’s no way they can actually make money off this model forever. They’re also probably pretty eager to drop the existing actors as those will be the highest salaries. Their hopes for Young Avengers seems dashed by the Disney+ Shows and Antman 2. The next best thing is to do a switcheroo with actors new to the franchise (cheaper) and the old staples. That’s kinda what this seems to be turning into. These two movies are going to be “We can’t afford Downey Jr and the Chrises anymore, you’re going to have to live with Disney + characters for a little while.”
Probably within the next 10 years we will see Disney trying to sell Marvel.
Are you out of your fucking mind? And stop getting the endless merchandise revenue?
Spaceballs tried to teach you this decades ago but they’re not making the movies to sell movie tickets, they’re making them to keep the characters and intellectual property relevant and in the public eye so they can make money off of tshirts and mugs and video game licenses and shit

Sell Marvel to who? One of the other companies that Disney owns?
