Marvel was always setting themselves up for failure by splitting the multiverse in between movies and Disney+. It was always obvious from the jump, yet you had some posters insisting otherwise.
The "Multiverse" is Bad Storytelling

I think you're confusing the YA audience
Plenty of anime/manga are "superhero" influenced

I'm not. The variety is front and center compared to American comics
Tbh, the comic industry is too filled with narrow-minded racists and neckbeards (the creators and the fanbase) that it's actually for the better (and not surprising) that comic IPs often thrive more in outside media* (video games, movies, tv shows).
BP's upended 4-year MCU run made him a pop culture icon... whereas after 50+ years in the comics, Avenger writers and "comic fans" would still favor Hawkeye over him. As the previous poster said, only 5% (likely less than that) of movie goers actually read comics... hell, Spider-Man makes his money / millions a year from teens and little kids (toys, book bags, games, merch, etc) none of whom give 2 shyts about Peter's marital status or if Miles is overpowered.
The comic editors see this and think, oh we need to reflect this in the comics; the comic fans see this and are upset bc they want to keep things how it was "back in the day". I see this and think fukk both of them bc they weren't gonna do shyt with Miles, BP, John Stewart, etc anyway unless them negroes pop in outside media first. /rant
*but while the outside media puts a greater variety of eyes on a greater variety of IPs, the quality of the storytelling and depictions still need to be on point. Which is what was lost, i imagine with a number of the new characters introduced post-End Game for the MCU, and with the DCEU in general, regardless of if the multiverse was the backdrop or not.
