And this article is entirely guilty of pushing such a notion. Still, it's hard not to look back to the early days of the MCU, when a lot of the aspects weren't quite so reported upon, scrutinised and critiqued. Nowadays, it's entirely possible to feel like you've seen every upcoming MCU flick before you've even sat down in the theatre to watch it - a result of endless marketing campaigns, the rise of the internet, and our tendency to fixate on potential spoilers. That's not to say that there's no hope for the MCU, of course. Marvel are sure to push out a bunch more movies that fans and movie-goers alike are going to enjoy in their droves... but as with absolutely anything and everything taken in high volume over a certain period of time, it's possible to feel a little overwhelmed by the insistent exposure - and a little exhausted by it all, too. Obviously a "break" is out of the question. But not necessarily a bad idea. Like this article? Agree or disagree? Let us know in the comments section below.
