Marvel should use Deadpool 3 as an opportunity to build toward the X-Men movie the franchise deserves. They could use solo movies to hype up the X-Men collaborative movie, just like they did with Avengers.

Sounds like exactly what happened with the Tom Cruise 'The Mummy' movie. We were going to get a Dark Universe, but the flagpole broke.
The Dark Universe failed on it's first try (2nd if you count the clearly shoeforned Dracula movie). And what did we learn?
The guy chosen to lead the DU was then given the reigns of the entire Star Trek universe going forward. Talk about failing upward
My personal take.
Completely reboot Star Trek. Trash the entire canon. No humanoid aliens at all. Go back to square one
Lol everyone wanted a Cinematic Universe back then.
Now it's the "Multiverse".
Wonder what the next bandwagon will be
I made another commnet in this thread, so I'm repeating myself [rebooting? lol]
Make new movies with the favorite characters. Call them 'Alternate Universe' or whatever. Fans had no problem with a dozen different Batmen, so why not do 'Captain America : The War Years?' You could bring in oldies like The Blackhawks, the original Submariner, Union Jack and Agent Axis. Same with Thor in the Middle Ages and Hawkeye/Black Widow/Nick Fury as their younger selves.
Time to sell the rights back to Disney, or make some sort of permanent sharing deal for the entire character library with a box office component
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Then last week, the critic reviews for Madame Web were posted, and they stung deepest of all — Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff received the lowest average Rotten Tomatoes score (13 percent) of any major superhero film in nearly a decade.
“On Wednesday night, you could actually watch advance purchase sales declining in real time as buyers were refunding their tickets,” marvels a major theatrical chain insider.
Sony’s previous Spider-Man universe movie — 2022’s Morbius — was a critical bust and much-maligned by fanboys online, but at least it managed to earn $170 million worldwide.
Plus, the feature’s collapse doesn’t just impact this film, but a new potential franchise led by star Dakota Johnson that Sony had hoped to spin out (spoiler alert: her character is connected to Peter Parker, whose birth is documented in the movie).
The film introduced a trio of supporting characters (played by Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor and Sydney Sweeney — now one of the top stars her age).
Clarkson and starring Johnson as a New York paramedic who develops psychic powers — seemingly took a wise approach: When there are capes and cowls on every metropolis corner, doesn’t it make sense to avoid the usual tropes and try for a more grounded-feeling suspense thriller with low-key charm?
The original article contains 798 words, the summary contains 210 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

This is why I hate film journalism. It says supporting characters, but then it lists a bunch of actors. These words are meaningless to me and meaningless to the internal context of the movie. I have received no information.
I’ve never heard of Madame Web and it has nothing to do with Spider-Man.
There’s only Spider-Man, and that’s it.
Nothing against female leads.
