If, after the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame, you started to feel like there was even more Marvel content than ever before, you’re not wrong. As President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige just admitted in a very big press conference on July 19 — as reported by Variety and other outlets — Marvel “produced 50 hours of stories between 2007 and 2019,” but “had well over 100 hours of stories” between 2019 and today. Feige’s message to the press, and to viewers everywhere, was clear: “That’s too much.”
As the MCU prepares to stage a massive comeback with The Fantastic Four: First Steps this year, and then, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Avengers: Doomsday in 2026, it’s clear that the brand put out too much stuff after Endgame, and, on some level, the vast majority of those narratives failed to feel essential as the MCU once seemed. In fact, before Endgame, the truth is, Marvel TV shows were disparate and only loosely connected to the actual MCU.
