Disney bought them out after like the third or fourth movie, MCU is pretty much just Disney.
Those films were already scripted, cast, and costed out at acquisition, part of the Russo Roadmap. That all finished with endgame and handed the reins over to the corporate writer-room slop ever since.
Disney bought Marvel before the second MCU film even came out (unless you count the Hulk movie) in 2009. End game wouldnt happen for another 10 years.
Also I think it's Kevin Feige who's given the most credit for the planning around the MCU.
Regardless having a general plan for 10 years of movies does not mean you have a finalized script, cast, and directors locked down. I mean even just having Chadwick Boseman pass would have significant impacts.
Fair enough, I take back their lack of involvement. Maybe Feige cared more about getting it right, then hasn't cared since? We can agree that the initial burst up to Civil War was far different from post-endgame disordered half-baked arcs. What even is the arc now? Celestials into XMen?
Yeah, honestly I think they just wrote themselves into a corner with end game. The five year time jump is sooo messy, not to mention they just didn't use any of the first three phases to setup the next set of heroes.
I always thought we should've finally gotten an older Spiderman as it would have been great to see a Spiderman have to take up the mantle of leadership and take the movies in a slightly different direction than the comics.
