After an unprecedented run of success for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 2023 brought Marvel Studios their first official "box office flops." Even worse, with the lackluster performance of The Marvels at the box office, the MCU may be facing an enthusiasm problem.

Why Ouroboros Would Work as the Multiverse Saga’s Villain

Joshua M. Patton — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 22:05:14 GMT

Season 2 of Loki was a success for Marvel Studios right when they needed a win, and the series could help the franchise as it goes forward. It's a strange time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After nearly 15 years of uninterrupted success, everything from audience reception to box office grosses is underperforming studio expectations. The studio may be reworking its future plans with this in mind. If they are, they should forget about making Kang the Conqueror the center of the Multiverse Saga and, instead, focus on Ke Huy Quan's Ouroboros.

For Marvel Studios, it feels like a time of reckoning. The originally independent production house has enjoyed an unprecedented 15-year run of almost impossible success. What made it so surprising was how the studio subverted conventional wisdom and expectations among audiences and the industry. Yet, it might benefit the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its long-term future if they do away with their "phases," and the so-called Multiverse Saga simply never ends.

Can the Multiverse Saga Fix Secret Invasion's Skrull Problem?

A major difference between Marvel Studios' Infinity and Multiverse Sagas is how the larger narrative unfolded. The first decade of Marvel Cinematic Universe films cut a straight path to Thanos and his gauntlet. The Multiverse Saga, like the concept it's named after, is less straightforward, as some stories don't clearly fit in the narrative. However, there is one way the Marvel multiverse can help correct the biggest oversight made by Secret Invasion, at least when it comes to the Skrulls' main abilities. The first Marvel Studios project led by the inimitable Samuel L. Jackson, fans had high hopes for the series. It promised political intrigue and seemed to be a series aimed more at adults than kids and families.

Is Deadpool 3 Releasing in 2024 a Good Thing?

Joshua M. Patton — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 23:00:13 GMT

At 15 years old, the MCU is officially a generational saga. The kids who watched Tony Stark declare he was Iron Man in the theaters are now adults, and longtime fans of the House of Ideas rejoiced when it became clear the Marvel Cinematic Universe was going to work. However, after the critical and box office failures Marvel Studios faced in 2023, it's probably a good thing its only 2024 release will be Deadpool 3. In a way, it may help generate enthusiasm for the MCU again.
