I don’t think the multiverse is the issue. It’s things like:

Covid delays fucking up the release schedule. No Way Home was supposed to come out after Multiverse of Madness

Disney overreacting about James Gunn’s edgy teenage tweets. GOTG 3 was supposed to be before Love and Thunder.

Disney pushing for content for Disney+ spreading Marvel too thin.

Chadwick Boseman dying.

Shoehorning a Black Widow movie that should have been made a decade earlier.

Johnathan Majors turning out to be a douchebag.

From the start I knew the multiverse saga was going to be a tool to pick and choose what to keep once they got the X-men rights back. I’ve been enjoying most of it, but yeah I’d like to go back to paying attention to the one universe please.

It hasn’t even been much of a saga… only 3 of the movies and two shows (out of how many?) utilize the multiverse.

Edited after smoking a joint: It’s almost like in sports when a team takes a season to rebuild after losing their major players.
