I think the MCU has gone beyond any “film franchise”, think of other franchises, Friday the 13th, with what 10 films over three decades, about he same with nightmare on elm st. And most horror franchises are in the same numbers and time frame with one every few years. Sci-fi being the same with the big two being Star Wars and trek, none haveing more than 10 films under there belt. And until reciently most franchises stopped at a trilogy. Now look at marvel... you got the LOTR crowd with Thor, the Tom Clancy crowd with cap, the sci-fi crowd with GOTG, the magic genera with dr.strange, classic comics with ant man, spidey, iron man, panther and avengers. With every one of the franchises being unique in concept and feel, while simultaneously existing within the same larger universe. And putting out 2 to 4 films a year! Shit we get more MCU films than episodes of game of thrones! I think at leas for the foreseeable future, if they keep putting out material of the quality they have been Marvel is its own genre, it’s like Horror, that can span from ghosts, to aliens, to serial killers. Marvels the same. I just can’t wait till they bring the x men into the MCU.
