Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot developments in Season 2, Episode 6 of “Loki,” currently streaming on Disney+, and “The Marvels,” currently playing in theaters. For the past few months, I’ve been talking with some of my friends and colleagues about a radical idea that’s been bouncing around in my head that I haven’t been able to shake: The only way Marvel Studios can save the MCU is to destroy it. It’s become something of a national pastime of late to obsess over the perceived unraveling of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The box office failure of “The Marvels” — which just suffered through the worst opening weekend in the MCU’s history — is simply the latest indignity. For the past two years, media outlets across the internet (including, and perhaps especially, the one you’re currently reading) have covered with relentless detail all the creative missteps, internal conflicts, external scandals, and outright failures that have bedeviled Marvel Studios, while fans have flooded onto social media to debate and dispute when, how, why and whether Marvel lost its way. This matters, of course, because, for over a decade, Marvel Studios was popular in a way nothing in Hollywood has ever been popular before — and now, suddenly, it isn’t, at least not nearly at the scale it used to be.
For some, it feels like a genuine loss. For others, it’s a source of endless fascination and debate. And then there are those who are relieved by the prospect that maybe, just maybe, the culture won’t be dominated by superheroes anymore.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter For 15 years, Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe has delivered an unprecedented string of blockbusters — 32 in a row — to cement its place as the gold standard for franchise fare. Not all of the comic book movies were created equal (“The Incredible Hulk” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” we’re looking at you), but no other Hollywood property has come close to its level of consistency. Even the less-embraced installments became box-office winners, enabling the company’s movies to earn a combined $30 billion globally.
