“From a slightly more cynical standpoint, this is a business. It’s an industry. And if you make a couple of great Marvel movies, the instinct is, ‘We need to make more Marvel movies, and we need to expand this.’ And I have this sort of interior feeling of like, ‘Wow, I wish they made less because it would make each one that came out a little bit more special.’ But I watch all of them. People don’t want things to end. I do.”

The producer agreed that it is not easy to let something as amazing go so easily but sometimes it’s necessary.

“It’s always going to be hard because once you’ve got someone’s attention, you want to keep it. And so the idea of letting it go and not knowing if you’re ever going to get it back again is sort of like, it’s antithetical to the way that we’re wired.”

Many fans have been concerned that Marvel may be abandoning its quality standards while releasing its films, especially after the underwhelming reception Eternals garnered from the audience and whatever it was we saw in the She-Hulk trailer.

The fact that Marvel has a boatload of projects in the works may also be playing a role in the decline in the quality we are used to.

Damon Lindelof, an accomplished producer, and showrunner who is also a major Marvel fan may have made the statements he did for this reason.
