I watched the last half of the Doctor Strange sequel and forgot that in the post-credits scene CHARLIZE THERON shows up for 12 seconds and...that's probably going to be the last time we see her in the MCU? Because they fucked this up so badly?

It's going to be impossible to explain to people who weren't there what it was like as Marvel released 15 or so consistently watchable movies in a row that built to a reasonably satisfying, highly anticipated climax.

Why not just make every movie standalone but happen to share the same universe Instead of constantly setting shit up for the big crossover or focusing on cameos

“….And, in a stunning announcement, Deadline can exclusively reveal that the movie will be drawn by the ghost of George Perez.” I mean, it’s the only way this could work.

In their case, the bag was RDJ and Evans. Hemsworth was miraculous casting but the character has limits. Chadwick Boseman was a massive loss but they should have sucked it up and found a new T’Challa.

I feel like the MCU movies lost me the same way Marvel comic books did back in the 90s... too many crossovers... too much confusing celestial level stuff... too many gimmicks too fast... all while abusing the artists responsible for the visual spectacle.

Sounds similar to the Star Wars sequels. More concerned with getting a movie out the door on the timetable they want rather than taking the time needed to make a movie that's awesome.

The MCU is simply faithfully following the normal trajectory of the comics, which is to degenerate into a mess that never really gets fixed by periodic hamfisted and hedged attempts to reset everything.

Looks a lot like they decided circa 2018 that they would run multiverse stuff for arc II, culminating in Secret Wars to mash together the setting and bring in the X-men. This is no longer a good plan but they would have to jettison several years of movies (both released and slated) to pivot.

They're doing to movies what they did to American comics: providing no closure ever via constant reboots and combined universe obnoxiousness that makes following anything into expensive homework.
