MCU Phase 4 has come to an end and it was without question the most flawed Phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far. The MCU experimented with various films, as well as shows on their Disney+ platform. Some of it worked and some of it absolutely failed. Bringing into question the integrity of the MCU and signs that it may well be past it's prime with Phases 1-3. Gone are the days of the highs of Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame, at least for now. Why did Phase 4 end up so disappointing? We break it all down by going through each Phase 4 film or show and get to the bottom of it in this Video Essay.

I, Typoh. Discuss the recent decline of The MCU. Mainly to do with its fall since the release of Phase 4. Including shows such as Hawkeye, Wandavision, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier. As well as movies such as Shang Chi, Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man No Way Home and Thor Love and Thunder.

After wrapping up one of the most epic super hero stories that spanned more than 10 years, Marvel has been trying to recreate that magic with Phase Four. But phase four has been far from successful.

In this video, I do a deep dive into why exactly phase four has failed to rile up their fan base, and instead gone as far as to alienate them.

Marvel's Phase 4 is officially complete. While there were many missteps, especially in the last year, there were good things to say about it as well. The question is, will Phase 5 build off of what went right and fix what went wrong? Or will it all come crashing down?
