I knew for instance the MCU was screwing up since their Endgame/post Endgame planning. But, I have avoided saying much because I knew the MCU fanboys would treat any criticism of their direction as a personal attack on the MCU. Only now are they willing to 'allow' the slightest criticism of the direction and frankly its too late the sky already fell and general audiences have tuned them out and they will have major trouble getting audiences back.
The MCU fans could rely on for quite sometime mega film receipts that were turning the audience off to shut down any debate about the direction and choices. The same happened with Frozen 2.
There is a difference here though. The creative team had a few years to think about Frozen 2 and I think they have probably come to the right conclusions that Elsa has had too much of her grounding removed and frankly the small compact family story in Frozen 1 is much more the direction to return to in future films.
