The MCU seems increasingly dull, lifeless, procedural; it doesn't have the energy it once did. It's in decline, and Hawkeye - now streaming on Disney+ - has failed to reverse the trend.

Clint Barton himself is old, tired and suffering, and the same could be said of all Marvel's recent productions. His replacement, Kate Bishop, is an unimaginative, irritating, shallow creation, rising too often to the level of a Mary Sue.

If it has no stories left to tell, and nothing left that's worth saying; if the MCU doesn't have any reason to be anymore, then perhaps it's time for us to bring it to a close.

The Avengers Infinity Saga was a superb achievement, and it will stand the test of time. Why risk cheapening all that by adding more and more of less and less worth?
