Honestly not surprising. So much got delayed after they realised that rushing all their projects was doing more harm than good.

Plus the fact that the writers are on strike and their big bad for the upcoming crossover movies is in court on assault charges atm

@ThePunisherMeetsSpidey There hasn’t been any rushing.

There very clearly has. 17 projects over the course of 2 years is ridiculous. It doesn't give the writers enough time and it doesn't give the VFX teams enough time. As a result we ended up with the mid that was phase four.

Phase 4 wasn't that bad, in my opinion, but I do agree that they needed to slow down a bit.

I think I know the reason why Marvel skip comic con this year.

I was sure they were planning to premiere the Loki S2 trailer at SDCC... eh, they can just post online just with less fanfare.

@ThePunisherMeetsSpidey That wasn’t the intention. There were suppoed to be three or so projects in 2020 but the pandemic…

Might I remind you over 2018 and 2017 we got:

Black Panther

Spider Man Homecoming

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2

Luke Cage season 2

Iron Fist season 1

Iron Fist season 2

Daredevil season 3

The Defenders

Jessica Jones season 2

Infinity War

Ant Man and the Wasp

Punisher season 1

Agents of Shield season 5

A big enough part of Agents of Shield season 4 to equal the length of half a project

Thor Ragnarok

Inhumans

Runaways season 1

Cloak and Dagger season 1

That’s 17.5 projects using the same resources that Marvel Studios currently has now (Marvel Television’s resources, which made any pre-2021 MCU shows, are now part of Marvel Studios).

Additionally, most of those shows consisted of far more episodes than any Disney Plus show (most Disney Plus shows with forty minute episdoes have six episodes, the Netflix ones have 12 with the same runtime).

So in fact with the same resources we’ve narrowly got fewer projects in two years (which were supposed to be spread out over three) than in 2016 and 2017, and far fewer hours of Marvel content.

The Netflix shows are a different story. They weren't Marvel Studios. So Marvel Studios only made 6 films over those 2 years.
