And the Bond series is the only other one that's made it to 20 films. Counting the reboot, the only one to exceed it. Because others either knew when to stop, or kept going and got the franchise killed.

There was once a Batman series that was actually very much like the MCU - A mix of lightheartedness and seriousness that characters can die on both sides, but overall fun and not too dark. I call it the Tim Burton Batman series coz Tim Burton did the first two, Batman and Batman Returns, and Joel Schumacher continued it into Batman Forever, but then the fourth, Batman and Robin, was so bad the franchise was cancelled and forgotten, though it is pretty easy to find on DVD (in a box set of all four).

There is absolutely no way the MCU still has its mojo by 2030's film, if it makes it that far. If it does, congratulations, but I won't be part of that party because I will be dead.
