..We knew this would happen.

As such, things are a bit congested (just like the comics).

This isn't a fair assessment/comparison without including the 6 Marvel/Netflix series that started in 2015. Add to that Marvel's impact on the entertainment industry overall (esp format/presentation), fatigue is completely understandable.

The congestion is an acceptable byproduct of the expansion necessary to tell the entire story of the MCU. Fortunately, you're not required to keep up with every detail. Comic books are published weekly. Like the books that inspired these live action franchises, you get to choose your own adventure at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed or left out.
