THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
It's only a drag from the stand point of the MCU being so incredibly less than average entertainment. But in America, it makes sense.
It feels right, in the country we've got, that something as lowest common denominator as the MCI is what's the most popular.
Disney will continue to marginalize both franchises with more and more and more content of less and less and less artistry. They've already gone a decent way down the road of making the Star Wars Universe something people don't care as much about anymore, they're well on the way of putting out as much product in just a few years as what Lucas put out in 35 years. And Marvel? Well, who cares what they do with that slop. And, much like the reactions I had after finally watching Wonder Woman, after recently watching Black Panther, all the talk of awards, well, that's one of those things where I don't know whether to laugh at the absurdity of it, or cry over what it means to film and film history. But I'm sure Disney will continue to put 3 or 4 Marvel movies out per year ad infinitum, more swill for the grinder.
Disney will inevitably turn the Star Wars franchise into something so average that the longtime fans will have had enough (20 years ago they thought that wasn't possible). The only thing left for them to do is keep churning out movies to where the domestic take ends up being like several of these mediocre Marvel Movies (say, the Boba Fett movie made 150 million, imagine that kind of thing) that brings the franchise to its knees, leaving all the old timers with even their old box office numbers reduced to insignificance.
Good times!
