Spider-man Homecoming showed them a potential alternate path that they completely chickened out on. These movies don’t have to end in giant citywide battles and/or have the literal fate of the multiverse at stake. That movie is mainly a coming of age highschool story and the big climax is literally just him stopping a heist. After Endgame Phase 4 could have been a reset back to a certain relative peace. Would have been interesting to see the whole universe, earth included, kinda chill for a bit after everything that happened. OBV there’d be a big bad threat again eventually…but we could have gotten some lower stakes palette cleansers introducing us to the new guys and letting the old guard kinda relax and start transitioning into more advisory roles.

Instead we got Eternals.
Or even the first Deadpool movie. It was not some apocalyptic threat. It was just Deadpool after some guy he had a grudge on.
