It really should have only been avengers rather than MCU.

Eh, I get that argument, but it's really tough to make a meaningful division without it being ridiculous. Should Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, GOTG, Ant Man, etc. all been separate? What about Harry Potter vs. the newer stuff (Fantastic Beasts or whatever)? What about LOTR vs the Hobbit? Or what about Batman (90s) vs. The Dark Knight vs. the recent stuff?

In the end, it makes sense to me to use the broad definition of a franchise, but obviously there are a lot of different ways we could have sliced it.

I get that. For me it just doesn't seem like a fair comparison. When you look at the franchise as a whole, I'm not sure any of them can stand up to a 20 movie extended story.

To your point. When I think of harry potter, fantastic beats doesn't even cross my mind. Same with Lord of the rings. I don't think of the Hobbit movies.
