Yes and no: the movie will do well because people love those two characters.
But in general the MCU has fallen to what marketers refer to as the roach spray effect; we’ve become numb to it.
End Game should have been the end of it, but like all dutiful businesses, they attempt to extract value until all is ruined.

Exactly. This isn't going to "save" Marvel (whatever that's supposed to mean, it's not like they're going anywhere or will stop releasing things), but it will be a successful and probably even good movie.
