As someone who's completely lost interest in Marvel movies, I'd say that I've really made peace with the fact that I'm just not the target audience for many if not most of today's big new movies.
Yes, wide releases have absolutely become a franchise-driven monoculture, but I'd say that today's streaming-dominated film landscape has one massive silver lining: much greater access to international/older films than ever before. I guess what I'm saying is that at least today's consumer has a lot of options.
