  • Taking a breather would have been fine if it felt like they were building up to something, but instead it felt like they lost all direction. 😟

    The first batch of movies built to the Avengers, the next batch built to Thanos.

    Even if you assume post Endgame was “The Multiverse” the number of properties that touched on it were minimal.

    Eternals - No Multiverse
    Spider-Man: No Way Home - Multiverse!
    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - Multiverse!
    Thor: Love and Thunder - No Multiverse
    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - No Multiverse

    Phase 4 Disney+:
    WandaVision - No Multiverse
    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - No Multiverse
    Loki - Multiverse!
    What If…? - Multiverse!
    Hawkeye - No Multiverse
    Moon Knight - No Multiverse
    Ms. Marvel - No Multiverse

  • Everything post Endgame has largely been a waste.

    It’s either “I got snapped and I’m sad” or “I didn’t get snapped and I’m sad.”

    They had no over-arching plot the way they did originally, first with building the Avengers, then with Thanos and the Infinity stones.

    When they tried to introduce a bigger plot, too late IMHO, Kang, it got smothered in the cradle first by starting in a movie nobody saw (Quantumania), crossing into a Disney+ show that, again, excellent, but nobody saw (Loki).

    Then, of course, the actor problems.

    They are just now trying to get back on track with Doom. Hope it’s not too late.
