Over one-third of Marvel fans are feeling fatigued by the constant stream of content from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to a new study.
Marvel fans are feeling fatigued by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a new study finds. After various delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Phase 4 kicked off with WandaVision, the first MCU series on Disney+, and once it was safe to return to theaters, the first Phase 4 film, Black Widow, was released. During the past two years, there has been a steady stream of both theatrical releases and shows on Disney+ for the MCU.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, a new study conducted by Fandom finds that over one-third of Marvel fans are feeling fatigued by the MCU's constant stream of theatrical and Disney+ content in 2022. The study also found that oversaturation is much less of a problem for the DC Universe, which sees significantly fewer theatrical and streaming releases than the MCU, as only 20 percent of DC fans say they feel fatigued by their respective franchise, as opposed to 36 percent of Marvel fans.
Chloé Zhao's Eternals was a complete critical failure, sitting at 47 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, while Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder isn't much better at 64 percent, which makes up the bottom two MCU movies on the Tomatometer. These two films, along with some disappointing aspects of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, sparked serious discussion about Phase 4 being the MCU's worst.
It's understandable that a significant portion of Marvel fans are feeling fatigued given the endless barrage of MCU content in theaters and on streaming. In addition to regular movies and shows, the MCU now includes "Marvel Studios' Special Presentations," a new format that has resulted in Werewolf by Night and the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
