The MCU has always had its naysayers, but the franchise's image has gone down further in recent years, with even longtime fans taking issue with the more scattered approach taken in Phases 4 and 5 after the interconnected narrative woven by Phases 1-3. The complaints made by viewers are also reflected in the reviews of recent projects, with Phases 1-3 boasting the highest-reviewed movies in the MCU and Phases 4 and 5 claiming the four worst-reviewed films in the franchise, according to Rotten Tomatoes. In terms of television shows, Disney+ is home to a few hits, such as Phase 4's What If...?, Ms. Marvel, and Loki, but Phase 5's Secret Invasion was the first MCU series to earn a Rotten score, standing currently at 53%.
Ms. Marvel holds the highest Rotten Tomatoes score in the MCU with a 98%.
While the decentralized narratives of Phases 4 and 5 is one reason for the franchise's downturn, some have also complained of superhero fatigue, disinterest in the new characters being introduced after Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Captain America's (Chris Evans) exits, and a few other points. The news of Jonathan Majors' recent MCU exit makes it all the more important for the franchise to find solid ground and build a stable foundation after two years of middling performances. As the MCU looks to retain and expand its viewership in the back half of Phase 5, key projects will include Deadpool 3, Daredevil: Born Again, and Captain America: Brave New World.

Each of the aforementioned upcoming projects centers on an already beloved figure with a long on-screen history, including Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Charlie Cox's Daredevil, and Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson, meaning a built-in passionate fan base for all three.
