Yet after a long string of underwhelming TV shows and disappointing films, I can&#8217;t help but feel like Marvel are losing their touch and overwhelming us with mediocre productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, there has been no cohesion. An abundance of characters have been introduced, only to be never seen or heard from again. Major events (Avengers-level threats, even) are completely passed over by other characters or just downright forgotten. Remember when that giant celestial emerged from the ocean in Eternals? Remember when Khonshu literally reversed the night sky in Moon Knight? Neither does anyone in the MCU, apparently. We&#8217;ve seen films rely solely on the power of cameos to generate hype, and we&#8217;ve seen stories that are filled to the brim with plot holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granted, you could say Phase 4 is a transitional period, but to me, it feels like I&#8217;ve been sitting through six films and seven shows worth of exposition, which, to put into perspective, is two times the content given to us in the MCU&#8217;s Phase 1. But while Phase 1 built up an arc that ultimately concluded with Avengers (2012), there seems to be no end goal for Phase 4. Evidently, Marvel is going for a quantity-over-quality mentality which is hurting their outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/IMG_0428-900x900-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/IMG_0428-900x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/IMG_0428-900x900-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/IMG_0428-900x900-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/IMG_0428-900x900-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/IMG_0428-900x900-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase 5 seems to be equally as busy, with a whopping twelve upcoming projects in the short span of two years. But are they pushing the franchise too far? It seems as if Marvel is attempting to recapture the hype and magic of the Infinity Saga by trying to outdo themselves in every way possible \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 Multiverses, excessive CGI, legacy characters, more crossovers, more cameos \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 with no breathing room. A lot of it feels like filler, particularly the Disney+ shows \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 placeholders existing only to keep the money rolling while the big-screen projects are in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unrealistic to push a production team of writers, artists, and editors to meet the demanding deadlines set by the studio without hurting the quality of a film\/show. Already there have been complaints of rushed special effects, lack of direction and weak plots. If this is any indication of what we can expect from Phases 5 and 6, perhaps Marvel needs to rethink their strategy and consider slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Marvel-Timeline-Phase-5-6-Multiverse.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Marvel-Timeline-Phase-5-6-Multiverse-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32582\" width=\"840\" height=\"1259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Marvel-Timeline-Phase-5-6-Multiverse-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Marvel-Timeline-Phase-5-6-Multiverse-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Marvel-Timeline-Phase-5-6-Multiverse-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Marvel-Timeline-Phase-5-6-Multiverse.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words by Francesca Manenti Marvel Studios recently unveiled the upcoming releases that will make up Phases 5 and 6 of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":650,"featured_media":32583,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[3,3054,21,1182,96,1206,19],"class_list":["post-32580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-tv","tag-cardiff","tag-cardiff-student-media","tag-film-2","tag-marvel","tag-quench","tag-quench-magazine","tag-review"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Are Marvel Phases 5 and 6 Squeezing Too Much out of the Franchise?
