Looking at the list, it does seem pretty insane. Still, I read the Civil War graphic novel and got the gist of it, and frankly, the MCU version is still better.Continuity is fine...to a point.
But *this* was briefly and shallowly summed up in one movie:
I don't think much of that is likely.The MCU was, essentially, a rebooted universe. And it probably needs to end before they resurrect (and recast) Iron Man and Black Panther. It's working just fine, for now, but the new Spider-Man movie is gonna have a hard time shifting people to read the Spider-Man comic in which Peter Parker graduated from high school 56 years ago
There's no financial standpoint to end the MCU right now. The amount of material it's producing now is greater than it's ever been, and they seem to be comfortable replacing legacy characters - Iron Heart will replace Iron Man, Falcon's become the new Captain America, there's a new Black Widow (I think?), and Hailee Stienfeld's archer character seems to be replacing Hawkeye. Maybe Tony Stark will be resurrected, maybe Black Panther will be recast, but neither seem likely right now. It's been explicitly stated that T'Challa won't be recast, IIRC.
Also, the MCU doesn't need to get people to read Spider-Man comics. The MCU doesn't need to get people to read any comics. Comic sales are absolutely dwarfed by film sales - I've seen the numbers run, and the gulf is unimaginably vast. And while this is anecdotal, I've seen every Spider-Man film, watched every episode of Spider-Man TAS and Spectacular Spider-Man, and played a few Spidey games. Wanna know how many Spidey comics I've read? Maybe a few stand-alone issues, and that's it.
The comics could end today, and the MCU wouldn't be affected. In contrast, the MCU could end today, and Disney would probably lose its biggest cash cow, with the possible exception of Star Wars.
I'm agnostic about this though. There's certainly segments of Marvel I think would benefit from being segregated (e.g. the X-Men), but for comics in general? Eh...There's quite a few IPs that have had multiple series in the same universe/multiverse I can name, that's never really been a problem for me per se. The level of continuity that Marvel and DC have seems to be the exception, not the rule.And that's fine, honestly. It's what I want the comics to shift to: multiple self-contained AUs with beginnings, middles, and ends that happen to sometimes share the same basic characters. Give them unique titles and you can steer people towards the kinds of stories they want.
