I'm weird in that a huge amount of content doesn't bother me. It's like saying "too much cake / sex / money".
As a kid, I didn't like romance, at all. But I was fascinated by the concept of soaps:
5 Episodes a week!
That's (taking out holidays) : 250 episodes a year!
Some had been out for 1-2 DECADES before I was born (some were on radio)! So much to catch up on (though there weren't VCRs yet... so... SOL)
Still, that's fucking awesome.
Now?
Disney+ with it's 10 (max) shows/movies a year... each TV show 6-ish episodes in length... is too... much?
I'd want 250 episodes +/- movies of Marvel a year!
Even non-marvel is often trimming from 23 episodes (now called an "Odyssey" by some) to 6-12.
You hate the above? You hate the above. Your call.
But it sucks to have things you like... hated... by the majority of people (and yes, the parallel of threads like this for the reason they exist on a site like this... isn't lost on me).
BONUS ROUND = People think it's STUPID to have a "Previously... on Marvel." before a movie or show.
YET, when I'm rewatching X-men 92 (before starting 97) and a 30 MINUTE tv show has a 2 MINUTE "Previously... on X-men" in front of most episodes.
Again, it sucks to love something that everyone else hates...
Hello LuvGamz! I "LuvGamz" to see another one of your detailed write-ups!
I want to add a little clarity to what I posted last night.
Ahem.

I feel like you've misunderstood what I was saying. The amount of content itself, doesn't bother me. As I said, I'm a Marvel Fanbear! Marvel could release 100 Episodes a DAY and I would be there.
My issure is not the Quantity, it's the Quality.
When I said I'm glad that Marvel are slowing down, it's not because I want less content. It's because I want them to have more time to work on what they're releasing.
I'm weird too. I have enjoyed a lot of Post-Endgame content, which I know many other fans didn't like. I enjoyed Eternals mostly, which I know gets panned.
But, even as a fan, I can notice a steep decline in Quality. I just want Marvel to take a moment to breath, before coming back again.
You use the anology of "too much cake" - I like that one. I love cake! But cake has to be made by a Bakery. In this case, Marvel is the Bakery, providing us the Cake. But the Bakery has commited to making SO MUCH cake, they're running out of ingredients, the cakes are less delicious. I don't want LESS cake, I like LOTS of cake, but I would rather the Bakery either Bought More Ingredients (hired more staff/spent more money on a quality product), or slowed down to make Better Cakes. I'd rather the first option, so I get more cake, but I'll take the second option, if the cake is extra delicious.
And, once again, I sign off by saying - Just having a healthy discussion! I never want the language barrier or lack of online nuance to cause a conflict.
I'm, in many ways, agreeing with you. But just adding my bear-thoughts!
Oh, and about this bit:

"The Majority of People" don't hate Marvel. There's a reason they're still going and still grossing. You just have a very vocal people who dislike it. We often forget that, online is a very small subset of people. For every person online talking about something, there's another thousand people who don't care. And a lot of the people who have "fatigue" are probably the people who were, at one point, quite into it! So, it's natural they've been worn out by things.
I'm still going strong though! And if you ever want to discuss what's good about Marvel, I'm your Bear!
