Something that has destroyed the reputation and perception of comic movies should not be seen as a successor to Star Wars. Star Wars did not damage its own genre, MCU did.

The legacy we have is to make less Endgame movies and more Jokers to win Oscars. This is not a massive footprint, Its a small footnote, and I am not a massive Joker fan.
Cinema experts don't really decide what lasts and what doesn't; what lasts is what people in general continue watching down the road.

We don't know... lot of 'beloved' franchises have disappeared when 40 years have passed). Where as Endgame? Maybe not.
Fair enough. Time will tell.
