Well, sure, but to the contrary: DC has had a much harder time imitating Marvel's success, even with great IP. Universal tried to create the "Dark Universe." And even Marvel is having trouble cranking out the hits with the middling success of Ant-Man Quantumania, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Wakanda Forever.

I suspect making these things more streamlined and more of a flat cultural paste through the Disney Machine is a part of the lower outcomes.
