I can't even really explain why I'm not that interested anymore. Even if I look back at why I watched all the others (I was early 20s when Iron Man came out), I've never been back to re-watch, so any fond memories I have are just member-berries. All I remember is, keeping up with the story, going the cinema with friends until the conclusion that I saw in the cinema on my own - during that time I'd moved away from my home town, got a serious job, friends all started families, got a mortgage and generally just got ground down to the point where once End Game had been on gone, it was like, meh? That was good, but yea, I'm an adult now.
That's only my personal experience, but yea, Disney/Marvel are right in some respects that the target for their stuff has changed, but I'm not so sure anyone really wants to watch what they are serving up other than the nostalgia stuff - which I lapped up with Spiderman. Spiderman is familiar. The MM stuff stuff though is waaaaaaaay more interesting for someone in my age bracket, my wife is even interested in those films and has been pestering me for news about the follow up to Across the Spiderverse. Don't take that as me saying Sony have the magic formula, they clearly don't - I think it's just down to familiarity and good writing, it's that simple.
There is a lot of negativity around any Marvel/Disney stuff now, toxic even. It's not got the wide appeal the older stuff had. I think that's more a reflection on society more than the content that's being put out. We're now forming tribes over ****ing media franchises ffs.
