Its tiptoeing around the real issue, because he knows saying it out loud would probably get him on some shitlists and reveal the quiet part out loud to the masses.
Which is that the MCU heavily abused its interconnected nature to force you to see a lot of shitty movies that you wouldn't have because you needed that part of the story. Even if they ended up being irrelevant you wouldn't know that until well after. It was a builtin sunken cost fallacy that basically ensured nearly every pre-Infinity War movie was going to be successful. With the only necessary part sometimes being literally a small clip in the credits.
In reality a solid half of the movies likely wouldn't have stood on their own and kept riding on the promise of future ones.
Absolutely and now that infinity war has ended a lot of people jumped off the track. The Thanos saga had 23 films in it. 23! If you wanted to watch them all in a week that would be a full time job. A lot of people jumped off MCU’s dick and the shit they put out now isn’t going to pull them back in.
And of those 23, you only needed to watch maybe 10 to get the full picture. With everything else being fluff or just introducing a character with no further relevance ever brought up again.
For every Avengers, there was an Iron Man 2/3, Thor 1/2, Hulk, Antman 1/2, or Guardians 2. Heck even Black Panther is completely irrelevant and could have been accomplished with a single throwaway line elsewhere.
