So This Is Why Marvel Is Failing 

What brand is the lapel mic your using?

Marvel never had great movies. They may have been entertaining, but they were never very good.

Call this a hot take but imo the fall of MCU started with Endgame outside of Iron Man’s sacrifice the little fight scenes they have and use of mad nostalgia the movie was literally mid and unnecessarily 3 Hours. I know a lot of people love Endgame but man that movie was mid. Marvel both peeked and died with that snap at Infinity War, outside of Spider-Man No Way Home majority of the Films and shows have been mid, bad or ok a best.

@@zolod.uchiha5102 I never cared for Avenger's: Infinity War either. I knew that all of the characters who had perished after the snap were going to come back, especially Spider-man. because Marvel had not finished milking his character yet with more sequels. So, any cathartic tension that moment may have provided was fleeting at best. And Spider-man No Way Home was an awful, and plotless movie.

You forgot to mention that Hawkeye appeared in Thor 1

I have a feeling that the pandemic is gonna be the excuse for alot of crap we have to deal with for some time to come.

They should have actually waited till 2023 to release the next movie so we could feel that Endgame time skip.

I disagree with is videos viee that it is the quantity that's causing the death of the mcu. it's not quantity it is WOKE DECONSTRUCTION . everything Hollywood is producing at the minute is deconstruction, look at the last Indiana Jones movie.... look at Star Wars the Acolyte. look at phase 4 of the mcu.... Every character has been deconstructed Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, The Loki deconstruction is horrendous. And what are they put in their places? cartoon cut out non-realistic girl boss females token characters that don't represent any of the qualities of a woman. often the worst qualities in men betrayed as heroic. if you look at Captain Marvel as a character, she's ACTUALLY the VILLAIN. this is what killed: the MCU. Star Trek Star Wars Doctor Who and anything else western entertainment has got to offer. wokeisms "THE MESSAGE" destroyed popular culture.

I would say the pandemic made them panic. At the time NO ONE knew what the future of cinema was gonna be or how long it would be until we could all go back. So they pushed the shows 2 fold to account for the loss in movies. It makes sense because there seemed to be a alot of shows lined up compared to movies, as they didn't seem to know which characters would be introduced in movies vs shows. I feel like they threw whatever they could to see what stuck and tried to make guesses on what might work. Like Ms Marvel, She Hulk, Echo, Secret Invasion, they must have thought they'd be all hits. Clearly not. Moonknight was the only new character which seems to work.

plandemic*

They could have taken the time to plan out their next major set of moves. To set out to adapt some major arc from the comics yet unmined for content. People would have waited, wanting more and then when they were ready, could have gotten the hype train rolling anew. They did not.

Losing Black Panther was a big blow, T'challa could've been the next central figure that Disney can dump their politics at and have the side characters deal with the gender politics.

@@GenJuhrurumor has that they were trying to replace Chadwick Boseman with the actress after black panther 2

nah. they went politics over story. thats the reason.

In an alternative universe, it did happen.

Glad they're slowed down a little this year, hopefully they push some 2025 projects back.

Ye soo true

One reason the quality has dropped is because the quantity is too high.

You nailed that!

Exactly. People keep making that goofy claim about quantity being the problem; meanwhile, TV shows like Supernatural had 15 seasons and people out here STILL asking for more.

Beat me to it 😂

They arent good thats the problem. black widow was too late and kind of lame

The problem with that first cameo is he was simply called Barton. But yeah, 5 appearances, not just 4 through Endgame. It’s understandable that he would be missed in the list as only nerds like you and I picked up on his character when we saw Thor (I’m assuming you saw Thor before Avengers in the theaters like I did). We knew Barton was Hawkeye’s last name, the casual moviegoer (like my date) didn’t.

I was going to say that

"I'm starting to root for this guy..."

I hope, but I doubt it.

there is a hope and there are changes they have done externally and internally, such as dividing marvel content as animation, television etc kind of like Group A, B, C. previous marvel shows had the problem of the budget of being an extended movie cut up into a bunch of episode so doing this allows better scheduling and structure that's more appropriate to the content they are producing. The Agatha show that was teased while I don't think it will be a masterpiece and could either suck or at least be decent could either A be the last show that was filmed prior to this change in the internal structure or B is the first 'marvel television' project. another thing is all other projects besides deadpool 3 have been pushed back we know TVA are somewhat relevant to the movie so the whole "start over" can be followed up. But all in all it all goes back to 'time will tell'.

@@nightwish1453 dead pool and the TVA is almost certainly just gonna be a big meta joke making fun of the entire multiverse concept, i wouldnt even really say thats particularly relevant to loki

Hardly, season two amounted to nothing aside from long winded exposition dumps.

@@d.6786 didn't say it was amazing, but it does tie together how the multiverse functions and create a platform to build a narrative around it with actual logic and rules, rather then the nonsensical (whatever the plot needs it to do) crap that they've put out in everything else. After loki it sets the stage for there to be actual consequences and stakes since the multiverse isn't just an infinite plot hole excuse.

lol

Its not that....its that the movies SUCK and they are WOKE.

@@willw3736 then you're just confirming what he's saying. The homework is watching movies to understand new ones. Like you said, the movies now suck so it feels like a chore now. Being woke has definetly been a distraction from making and actual good movie.

What I was thinking re-seeing that interview

Feige was never a creative powerhouse anyway. Everything greenlit after endgame has been struggling, and that's because he got rid of the creative council they had.

Cot damn!! That's just nasty work!

but wasnt bob chapek the ceo at the time of the beginning of phase 4

@@BattleCatsEnthusiast yes, but the decision to produce all of the content came from iger before he left. It takes time to produce a show

FR. I've said this before and I still think to this day that they should have waited like 3-4 heck maybe even 5 years before releasing Endgame after Infinity War. Of course that doesn't fix a number of problems people have with the MCU but it sure as hell keeps audiences invested.

The thing is, the Young Avengers were always an additional team of heroes in the comics, they never replaced the real Avengers, and at this point we don't even know if that's what they are planning to do. If it is, they would be also butchering the Young Avengers though, because we would be lacking some key characters from that team. In the comics, Wiccan and Speed naturally re-incarnated after their fake selves were killed by Mephisto. But take Kate Bishop, she is already in her 20s, so chronologically, either she will not be part of the Young Avengers, or Wiccan and Speed won't. Also it looks like Ms. Marvel will be part of the Young Avengers (?), if that's where they are going with it. But she is part of the actual Avengers in the comics. It's too confusing, and I don't think they know what they are doing anymore, to be honest.

The concept of the young Avengers is happening way too soon, imo because we never even got west coast avengers first. However, I do think they botched up on the TV shows especially. I think the way they did the TV shows during the first 3 phases was the right way to go. Make the TV shows Canon to the movies to where you throw in casual references here and there like they did with agents of shield and the Netflix marvel shows. But, the movies have zero obligation to ever mention characters and events from the TV shows. This way, it doesn't feel like homework for your audience to keep up with the films while giving hard-core fans the illusion of everything being connected.

​@@bitxhcraftdefinitely feels like the young avengers will be a team of teens plus young adults.

@@bitxhcraft It's so weird how they're shoving in the Young Avengers at this point and having it be due to bad writing. The only one that was actually done justice in these awful shows was Kate Bishop. And Hailee Steinfeld's acting sold it for me.

I don't mind a black widow movie but it should have been earlier in Phase 1 or 2. And a Hawkeye movie as well. But these should have been more grounded endless fantastical. Black Widow would have been a great movie if it was grounded on Natasha's upbringing I n Russian espionage. Sure maybe they would have had to recast a younger Natasha. Same with Hawkeye. Then maybe we could later get a movie of Hawkeye turning Black Widow to the good side in Budapest

@@annien.1727 Hahaha. You wish Disney is a good company. Do your homework. READ ARTICLES. Disney is just as evil as other corporate greedy companies. Hahaha. You can get angry all you want but that is not changing the fact that Disney is GREEDY

I agree. Multiverse of Madness should've been a TEAMUP between Doctor Strange and Wanda (considering how much they team up in the comics) and him possibly trying to get her away from the Darkhold. The movie has no connection to the show other than Wanda found the DH; that's it. I'm also pretty sure that Vision will not feature in Armor Wars, despite being a Stark technology, which would at least make sense before doing VisionQuest (which will probably also ignore anything that happened in WV). The multiverse should've just been confined to Kang; this starting phase should've been getting the West Coast Avengers together, with Kate Bishop taking over for Hawkeye (which would then set her up for Young Avengers). This puts Sam, Rhodey, Wanda, and Vision back together and trying to step into the shoes of the original Avengers.

Multiverses work best when used as a playground for static characters. It can be a great way to change external factors on our current characters. How Dr. Strange used it worked even though the story itself did not. It's when they choose to use the multiverse as a way to undo everything that it completely undermines a story and a narrative. It's not that multiverses are bad. It's that Marvel misused them.

how did it lose escapism?

@@AntiKaiMatic Because of the politics we use media like the MCU to get away from reality for a minute not to have politics preached at us.

Wandavision is the only series that actually worked well since they took advantage of the medium for storytelling, it's just a shame that they threw together such a weak ending

Disagree. People love soap operas. They just don't realize it. Star Wars Game of Thrones The Walking Dead. Breaking Bad The Sopranos These are all soap operas. What makes them soap operas is the focus on family ,drama, and daily life. Star Wars might not seem like a soap opera if you only watch say a new hope but it becomes more clear with the empire strikes back and return of the jedi. The difference with daytime soap operas is that they are daily and naturally that limits the budget and what can be done. It's difficult to get into daytime soap operas because they are often REALLY old and each episode continues the story. we may not think of The Walking Dead as a soap opera because we think it's zombies so survival horror but at a certain point the zombies almost become irrelevant and the real drama is between humans and their families. We see more or less the daily life of Rick Grimes. It's just his life has zombies. Comics are also soap operas. Sure it might be the literal end of the world but hey that's just everyday drama when you're a superhero. Batman is a good example. Sure the Wayne Family is dead but in a sense Gotham is Batman's Dysfunctional Family.

I think TV wasn't automatically a bad move. I loved WandaVision, liked Falcon and Winter Soldier, and thought Loki was OK. I couldn't even get through any of the other ones. Looking back, I wasn't interested in committing many hours to characters I didn't know. Both shows I liked had two existing known characters at their heart. Having one marginal character (like Hawkeye) wasn't enough. If the new character you're introducing isn't strong enough to carry a movie, then what makes you think they're strong enough to carry a TV show that's three times as long? They should have taken a break with "new content" after Endgame, except for stuff that felt more like an epilogue than a new phase. WandaVision and Falcon and Winter Soldier both felt like characters dealing with what had come before - a completion of the same arc. If they had framed Black Widow as Nat's soul (post Endgame) being asked to justify herself or recount her greatest moment then it wouldn't have felt so disconnected and aimless. If the point was she discovered the importance of family when her "fake family" turned into a real family, and that lead to everything good in her life that came after then it would have had so much more meaning.

Ya foreal

Yeah, it was cute at first, but it quickly wore out its welcome. Hes guilty of the same thing hes talking about.

It's the other way around

What do you mean?

Agreed.

true. and i dont see a problem in agatha. kathryn haan plays her realy well and i am sure i am not the only one who want to see more of agatha and wanda. she is such a complex character and i like how a hero turned in to a villain becouse of greef. we all can relate to wanda but also know its wrong what she has done. also the story between wanda and agatha is not finished yet, there is still potential.

Agatha All Along is about witches; not the Agatha Harkness from FF 94 and Marvel. Not much interest here.

Who cares? She is not a relevant character, she never was, and not EVERY single female villain needs redemptions. The actress and the MCU version were great, but more Agatha leads nowhere considering she isn't even well known.

​@@MontenegroPlusthis isnt about just agatha after the release of wandavision people begged for marvel to explore more of their witchcraft side which is what they are doing and also explaining how the twins are real and bringinf wanda back

@@AntiKaiMatic Not really: Agatha is the last character in their list to know magic, usually that is centered around Dr Strange and not even around Wanda, but if the did were to listen to what people "beg" for, they wouldn't be in the frail state they ave been for quite a while now. There is nothing to adapt about Agatha. And the story of the twins has nothing to do with her. So I guess, the only viable option to believe in, is that they are rebuilding staff on the go in order to make it all about her, just like with Ms Marvel for example, trying to give the Young Avengers to her.

TOO far away😅

Exactly they thought they were too good for the comics

They always gotten far away from the source material never the action of origin like in the comics.

Following the source material is not always necessarily the right move. The Boys tv show is going too far away from the comics, but it works because the comics are terrible

The source material is the coomics they are currently leaning towards the comics exactly what they should be doing they are not getting away from the source material

Ya it’s a shame Chadwick could’ve been a great leader going forward

why didnt they just re-cast chadwick? i mean, he littlerly said if he dies he wants another person to play black panther so the character doesnt die

@vijaytamishra453 it could have been a rash decision, as they were all grieving a friend and loved one, and instead of making it feel as though they are replacing him, they do a beautiful send off. Also, a lot of the fans would have been comparing, sure that's likely to happen with any recasting, but they were recasting an actor who died, therefore, it may have felt that it was unjustifiable, and may have possibly turned toxic.

It was using Wanda as the msheu made her that was scraping the barrel, her comic version was done much better.

It feels weird to do a Vision show since he died twice. Wanda also died and his relationship with her was important. Tony Stark created him, yet he also died. There isn't any tie in to any characters, so the project wouldn't go anywhere.

soon since disney bought fox. likely with the next deadpool movie.

We haven't gotten them is because Marvel Studios couldn't use them in the MCU before now.

I know Deadpool x Wolverine is going to be great, but I’m investing my hope in the next Captain America movie to bring back captivating, small-scope stories in the MCU (since guardians vol 3 had that going for them, but now that franchise is all wrapped up).

Yeah that time travel in End Game was such a bummer to me, seen time travel and multiverses way before in other super hero series and it's always a mess.

Especially if you’re s t u p I d 😂

And they completely undid all of the character development Steve went through just to have him screw up the timeline by staying in the past. Looks like he let Sharon on, and she has to rebound, I guess. He went through the entire saga moving on, even to the point of becoming less trusting, more secretive, and more of a potty mouth. Nope, undone just so he can break a law of time travel and live in the past. Endgame felt like it was written the same as Age of Ultron (with its forced shipping of Nat and Banner). A disappointing follow up to Infinity War and conclusion to the Infinity Saga.

@@yoavbenclaudia3073 You don't understand it then, it didn't undo anything. It showed what we already knew Steve can not let go, example, Civil War and Winter soldier where Cap risked EVERYTHING in the hope of saving his friend. The ending allowed a nice end of story for Steve without a nerf and there is a theory that the man Peggy married is actually a Steve from another universe, we don't ever see him. He got to live the life that Tony was going to have.

100% accurate comment. The multiverse kills storylines. Nothing means anything anymore. A character dies and just exists in another universe. The MCU never had much gravitas. But what little it had, the Multiverse killed it.

The only things from phases 4 and 5 that are objectively good are spider-man no way home (mainly because it was running on the nostalgia of the previous spider-man movie canons of the past) and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was an alright way of wrapping up the story of a team of galactic misfits with Rocket and Groot being the only ones that stay to carry the new team. Other than that everything else sucks. There has been no real plans with anything after endgame, disney and marvel's agenda to make the MCU go hard on catering to a female audience while pushing out the established male audience that this franchise is targeted at has been stupid as hell because women were already watching the MCU well before they decided to shove captain marvel down everyone's throats convincing us she and her movie was import to understand endgame when it was just a nothing burger, and just not taking the time to slow down with the content and make the quality actually good. Nobody likes having expectations subverted all the damn time. I really hope Deadpool & Wolverine is worth the hype it's getting because it looks promising.

TFatWS was decent until the last few episodes. They completely lost me at " you've gotbto do better".

@@bramderacourt9499 And that part is exactly why the show loses points.

Not THAT bad. Still not good. And I'm not going out to see "not that bad."

@@AutZentus D&W will probably be a circus of fan-service, like No Way Home. And like that movie, technically it won't be quality, but it will be entertaining. Maybe not "not that bad" but probably "not that good."

Hopefully they bring her back for more

No Multiverse of Madness completely ruined her character. Michael Waldron is a terrible writer.

@@vice2versa No it didn't, she's literally one of the most beloved heroes in the current MCU

@@HarveyDent13 she was, shes not anymore. MCU is nolonger known for quality content. I used to be a major fan but marvel took its audience for granted.

She is not a hero anymore. They made her the ruthless villain of all time. Pretended hero but secretly a villain.

Seriously? The moment I heard they were making it, I was afraid it would suck as bad as the comic. But no, CW the movie was much better. For one thing, we didn't end hating Tony Stark's guts.

@@tedmiller1376 the movie couldn't use the main reason for Cap's resistance from the comic, so it ended up being "your friend killed my daddy" "but he's still my friend"

Also the inclusion of Spider-Man was a terrible PR attempt to say it going to be like the comic to fans

@@user-xo2xd1gu5e The setup from the comics was no better. I had many problems with it. IRL legislation just never moves that fast, so it seemed like all it took was the merest disagreement for all the heroes to be at each other's throats. In this case, just the fear of what might happen did it. Marvel could have handled it in stages, or even flashed forward a year or two. As it was, the whole thing was a mess that made no sense. Probably because Marvel just wanted that year's crossover begun and finished on the same time scale as any other crossover. The Segovia accords worked much better for me. It started with a disaster, and gave us legislation happening over a period of time as it should. And I also liked how the Panther was given a stake in the matter as well. An international incident was a great way to involve a hero from halfway around the planet. Anyway, "your friend killed my daddy" works. That's why it's a trope that gets used. Tropes aren't automatically a bad thing. It's how they get handled that determines whether they work or not. And it was great for highlighting Bucky's unusual dual role as both victim and perpetrator.

​@@tedmiller1376The awful thing about the _Civil War_ comic is that Mark Millar thought the audience should agree with Stark and Richards. Apparently banishing people to a prison in the Negative Zone without trial is acceptable to him.

These are cheap acquisitions(talent/creative), all these woke shit I believe is a cover for their money laundering schemes. These disney shows/films doesn't look as expensive as their declared budget. It's like those poor countries commiting big budget to projects that lead to nowhere.

This, exactly. If someone is interested in a particular character, they're more than likely going to start at the first part of that character's story and watch it through, and if they're not interested at all in another character, then they're not going to want to have to watch that character's story just to understand the main character's story. This is an inherent problem in any cross-media storytelling - 343i tried doing the same thing with their Halo games, with only part of the main story being in the actual games and forcing fans to watch their direct-to-streaming movies and read the books to get the full storyline, which many Halo fans complained about being "homework" back then too. Constant crossovers between shows and movies has the same problem - I had many MCU movies get spoiled for me by Agents of SHIELD when they would casually drop references to the most recent theatrical release before the movie was even out of theaters, which brings up another point: figuring out the order of the different story parts to avoid spoilers. How many episodes of Show 1 can I safely watch before I have to watch Movie 13 so the ending of that doesn't get spoiled? How many episodes of Show 2 should I watch before going back to Show 1, and when will either give spoilers for Movie 14?

I dont like what they did to Wanda in the msheu so making a tv show based on her wasnt a good idea to begin with imo.

@@egor102 Shut up. If you still use the term “msheu” your opinion on Marvel content doesn’t matter.

@@kingvampstan That you are triggered over my use of msheu means your opinion means nothing to me.

@@kingvampstan The Echo actress accidently used the term MSheU. That's how well-known it is, you're far too late by several years to try and dismiss it.

@@kingvampstanBut it is the m-she-u now. That couldn’t be more obvious. And I say that as a black woman.

Exactly this is the number one reason

Shang-Chi is heavily slept on and underrated amd would consider that film to be the only "new" entry character in the mcu to date, NWH and GOTGVOL3, X-men 97, deadpool and wolverine, all are continuations that has been set up previously, Shang-Chi, on the other hand, was the only new character that had what was left of creativity from marvel imo, after that, any newcomer hasn't been really good imo

Since Kang crashed and burned, the only way now is to make Doctor Doom into the complex anti-villain that we deserve, since the MCU is going towards Secret Wars.

No, man. Captain Marvel made nearly all previous MCU movies worse. I think only Black Panther was unaffected.

Shang and the movie was solid, but they did nothing with him. Literally nothing. Disappeared like white Vision.

I keep waiting for more Shang-Chi, and instead, we get nonsense like MoM. I honestly had hoped that they'd let the old guys retire, and start a new team with Shang-Chi... kind of the new Tony Stark. Then introduce another in a solo movie, and another, and another, and then do a team-up. But instead...? What is this?

I was going to say the same thing, good lord!

No, Loki worked well as a TV show, as a Movie it would have been confusing and missing a lot of pieces. Also it was a really good show, and the proof is it was beloved by fans.

@@MrReset94 Loki was awful, just because a lot of fans loved it doesn't mean it was good, that is an appeal to popularity, and you can do the same for the Transformers movies.

Her turning into a tragic villain was done very well in WandaVision, then they messed it up in MoM.

@@BirdsElopeWithTheSun09 true but they should’ve spent more time before having her go totally insane

I like Wanda as a villain, but they should've had moments of her in conflict with herself. Green Goblin had it. Doc Ock had it. Wanda was a baddie straight up. The most interesting part of her turn was unlike previous foes, she was one of the heroes. They should've done more with that. Loki is better off as TV show. Its problem was that it kinda sucked.

I don't think anyone has forgotten The Incredibles.

Literally everyone knows about the incredibles

I never understood how at that level you can get bad writing. They obviously do it but I don't get it, maybe there are many writers that throw ideas and a head writers that glues everything without having time to give it a second thought? And they don't even have to think the whole thing, they usually have a base on a comic or a tv series or something so it's should be easier and faster to make a good script.

Wandavision is awesome

Hawkeye was alright

Far From Home doesn't really make sense as the final movie of phase three. Endgame's ending was just so conclusive as the end of an era, and FFH was dealing with the fallout after the Infinity Saga was over.

​@@liamdell6319Homecoming, Far From Home and No Way Home all sucks and its all Zendayas fault.

@@anonymoustroll2432 I only found her irritating enough to detract from my experience in Homecoming, but make no mistake she was still irritating.

No way home sucks just like the other Tom Holland Spiderman movies and its all Kevin Feige fault. Its all about Zendaya in all three movies that made Spiderman wimper like Harrison Ford.

I think Moon Knight might be the best, Loki was quite good, I think Wanda Vision suffered from Agatha and trying to insert it in to the rest of the MCU and the Dr. Strange 2 seeming like a different character. It would be much better without that, while Moon Knight seems self contained atm. and is rock solid.

I think we think that because we see it from the consumer or fan perspective. They just care about money and they are still making millions, I believe they already calculated they could make a few really good movies/tv shows but they just make a bit (or a lot) more by pushing 20 million shows with poor quality (which actually falls into the category of bad publicity is still publicity) since everyone is talking about it because how bad they are and people keep seeing it. It's just capitalism.

Hard selling an unlikable character.

@@GenJuhru Yet they turned Iron Man, a character who only existed in the comics to be an unlikable bastard, into one of the most loved characters in the MCU. Same with Loki, same with Hank Pym... It just takes good writing and an understanding of character to turn an unlikable character into a marketable one, which the current crop of writers are apparently incapable of as they've turned beloved characters from the comics like She-Hulk and turned them into thoroughly despised characters.

It started with Ant-Man and the Wasp, that's the first one that didn't feel like they had a story that they wanted to tell, it was just made to set up the time travel in Endgame.

Captain Marvel was a mid-tier MCU flick, not great and not awful- it had no glaring flaws. However it was one of the most successful solo films.

Disney has tanked their value, by tanking their IP's... Marvel included... although not nearly so badly as Star Wars... and yes, they are doing the same thing with their live-action remakes.

@@nyetzdyec3391 😡Watch it! That's all going to change! Disney has NOT tanked their value for Disney will change for the better! My friends, Elon Musk and I are going to abolish the woke agenda and restore Disney back to the way it was before! Iger will be kicked out of Disney and Elon will take his place! As for Star Wars, it will be given away to another studio with the better know-how. Iger will NOT be tanking anything in Disney again! That's my vow!

MJ: Look at me im MJ a strong independent black woman that doesnt no white man to save me since i cam save myself blah blah blah.

Thanks a lot 🙌

Appreciate it

Ya a bit earlier in the video I mentioned that I wasn’t counting minor cameos

Downey and Evans were probably too expensive.

I refuse to believe that in the entirety of this planet's "acting" population there isn't the right talent. No, it's not about that at all. It's about writing good characters and actually hiring the right talent. So it's not that they did not have the ability to replace them. They just botched the job, badly. In every aspect.

@@SlCKNESS_ There is a big difference between being talented in acting and being talented in acting while also having a large amount of charisma. Lots of actors are very talented. Not many have that level of charisma. Cumberbatch is very talented but he'll never be able to anchor the MCU the way Downey Jr did.

That is a hot take because it very much needs saving.

I definitely agree with that first part - the reason I fell out of the comics was because there were too many crossovers where you had to buy something like 20 different books just to follow the one main storyline, and if you wanted a complete picture, you had to invest in the previous 10-15 issues of _every series_ in the crossover. For a teenager/young adult on a very limited budget, that wasn't feasible. These days, as an adult with a little more disposable budget but not enough time to watch everything Disney/Marvel is pumping out, it's just as infeasible. I just want to enjoy a single movie, or follow a single movie series, I shouldn't have to refer back to the fan wikis every few minutes just to understand what happened between movies. They've forgotten that the movies of the first three phases worked perfectly fine as standalone stories that happened to fit into a larger narrative, but that larger narrative could safely be ignored to enjoy the individual movies.

@@Dargonhuman Exactly, contnuity always becomes a burden with time. Balance is important, they can tie movies and shows together but still keep it accessible. If you like only this team or that character then you should be able to follow only that. It never works well if a 'homework' is mandatory before you can enjoy a new book or movie. The other solution to this shared universe flaw is always a complete reboot every 14-16 years

Agreed, multiverse of madness completely killed my interest in the MCU

It wasn’t that bad if you understood metaphysics

Maybe, but not THAT bad

they really had Wanda learning the exact same lesson she just came from learning in wandavision and thought we wouldn't notice and worse, she faces no consequences after everything she does, she just says oops and moves on

@@saint037 but what if it’s not wand and Agatha instead. The problem with audiences today, they lack imagination and mom proved that

what?? wandas whole thing is magic why would they not give her her accurate powers just because you are biased

Interesting, what were your biggest problems with the film?

My biggest problem with it was they basically dumbed down the rest of the cast for the plot. Best example was Reed Richard, the smartest man alive, telling Wanda his trump card, then getting killed instantly. Wanda is extremely powerful, but not solos the entire MCU combined strong

Agree it was awful. The story was so stupid and don’t even get me started on the terrible CGI. The story was so rushed and they completed dumb downed their main characters.

They completely erased Wanda’s arc from her show ,to make her into a villain. As someone else said, it could have been a trilogy of descending into madness (even tho it still made little sense unless it was properly blamed on the dark magic/tome) and it would have worked better.

I wouldn't say it killed my interest in the entire franchise, but it was truly awful. The script was clunky, the concept was ridiculous, and what they did to Wanda was so grotesque and hateful--after there'd been a very nice examination of her bad approach to her grief, WHICH SHE UNDERSTOOD AND LEARNED FROM. And then all the sudden... what happened in MoM. They threw in the evil book as a reason, but why do something i you need to throw in a clunky plot device like that to do it? It was really badly put together. The whole multiverse idea, I admit, doesn't appeal to me as an arc, but there had to be some better way to handle it. Now, they seem to just be trying to do fan service by throwing in every possible known MCU franchise.

The fact they get writers that are woke and arent familiar with the source material contributes to that also. Just like with SW and ST and alot of other shows that come out these days and disney isnt the only one guity of being stupid about what the audience wants.

At least we have a Black Widow origin story out of it before it became a massive dumpter fire.

Plus Stan Lee did not wish Marvel Comic Books to be translated to film; look what we have Disney Disaster

@user-ov6zy2dh4d If Stan didn’t want Marvel’s comic books to ve translated to film, why did he promote the idea as far back (in my recollection) as the 1980’s? He was still publisher then, if he didn’t want it he could have written by-laws into the company forbidding it. But we have crappy movies that often didn’t get released into theaters and went straight to video from back then instead.

Appreciate that 🙌
