Everything prior to Endgame had been building towards it.

After Endgame it really felt like the movies were rudderless. Too many plots of "I got snapped and I'm sad" or "I didn't get snapped and I'm sad."

If the MultiVerse plots can pull together for Doomsday/Secret Wars that will be something, but what do we have that touched the MultiVerse?

Multiverse of Madness
No Way Home
Loki 1/2
Quantumania
Deadpool and Wolverine

That would be a lot if we were talking about literally any other franchise, but there have been 14 movies since Endgame and only 4 of them set up the next big thing?

Non-Multiverse movies since endgame:

Spider-Man: Far From Home
Black Widow
Shang-Chi
Eternals
Love and Thunder
Wakanda Forever
Guardians 3
Marvels
Brave New World
Thunderbolts*

Yeah.

I remember within my friend group it originally was like everyone watched the Iron Man movies. We didnt care about the fact that other MCU movies existed. Then with the first Avengers movie they started teasing more openly about the infinity stones, and that drew people in. Going "oh they are building towards something". And that story is now over.

Non-Multiverse movies since endgame:

Spider-Man: Far From Home Black Widow Shang-Chi Eternals Love and Thunder Wakanda Forever Guardians 3 Marvels Brave New World Thunderbolts*

was there no fun to be had in any of those?

Oh, tons of fun! I enjoyed all of them except Eternals and Marvels... but it just didn't feel like any of them were building to something bigger.

Guardians 3 is a heartbreaker, but definitely feels like the end of that story.
