[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 289865, member: 134"] As the consumers, of course we want what we want and we want it now. Just because our desires are not being met does not mean the companies we want stuff from are failing. Everyone was loosing their minds over the fact Marvel wouldn't reveal any of their plans post Endgame, and that started a year prior when Infinity War came out. Shoot, they were barely willing to acknowledge Spider-Man: Far From Home was even a thing until Endgame actually released. The point of it was they wanted to honor what was set up in Infinity War, give it the proper gravity (despite everyone knowing most of the deaths were reversible) so further make Endgame hit with impact. I'd say job well done considering it's now the #1 grosser of all time. And then they still held the cards close to the vest just to let Spider-Man have it's moment of being the epilogue if you will of Phase 3. Then boom, there's Comic Con and the entire Phase 5 lineup with release dates. It's called marketing and how to properly handle hype. Mel stated that Zen doesn't like to announce things too far in advance (Star Wars kinda being the exception to the rule) because if people have too much time to revel in hype, inevitably resentment over certain things takes over and suddenly negativity gets introduced. Zen is not being spread too thin. They are simply giving promotion to one release at a time. When they were doing original tables, there never was a time table for releases, with sometimes there being a 4 or 5 month gap. They understand what they're doing, which is partly why they have such good relations with those that hold licenses. [/QUOTE]
