Do you think Marvel Comics in general is bloated?

Of course they are. Why do you think they and DC constantly get rebooted every other decade?

I don't think a reboot will work for the MCU though.

Plus comics are far less constrained then movies because they release on a monthly basis and even then a big reason people are turned off from comic books is having to follow several titles to get the whole story.

Marvel Studios are kidding themselves if they expect people to follow all the movies plus their tv shows to keep up with the MCU indefinitely.

Eventually if they aren't careful and add too much they'll hit a breaking point with their audience.

Fantastic Four for starters. Other than that Squadron Supreme, Sentry, and The Hood.

You don't need to watch the TV shows to understand the movies though and you don't need to watch the movies to understand the TV shows.

I feel like the MCU should take a rest after the 4th Avengers movies. These movies have been on going for 9 years and we have made so many movies at a point that people will lose track on them. People would have to watch Movie A to watch Movie B to watch Movie C. It would be like reading the comics, but in movie form.

I've always found the "You need to watch/read X too" to be a really weird argument. Because you don't, it takes all of twenty seconds to google up a summary of the thing you didn't watch and bam you're caught up.

I really wouldn't like to see the MCU take a break. It's never been too overwhelming to keep up with the films, and only the Avengers films and Civil War needed the viewer to watch other films to properly follow them. The rest can basically just be enjoyed with little outside knowledge.

According to rumors atleast Infinity War is basically going to reboot/refresh the MCU with Black Panther and Captain Marvel headlining the next phase of films.

I'm just not sure the franchise can survive without RDJ. Kinda like POTC without Johnny Depp.

Like I've said before it'll be the test if the actors made the MCU or not.

I like Black Panther, with him being part of this "Second Generation" of marvel films then I'm all for Phase 3 and going forward.

Mostly a bias comment, but yea I love my Black Panther.

From what I've seen Black Panther's cool.

I just don't know if he'll be able to carry a movieverse but time will tell.

But also keep in mind these are just rumors so grain of salt and all that.
