What was the overall sentiment about Marvel's presence at Comic-Con 2023 compared to previous years?

The overall sentiment was one of notable change and a quieter atmosphere compared to previous years. Many attendees expressed understanding but also a sense of missing the usual high-energy spectacle of Marvel Studios' Hall H panels. While Marvel Comics successfully engaged its dedicated fanbase, the absence of major MCU announcements and celebrity appearances meant a distinctly different, more subdued Comic-Con for Marvel.
