Do people really think MCU is goo dquality, i overheard some people at work they were fans of it despite its been garbage since endgage, aside from a few of the shows, nothing is really that good. almost every series, has been cancelled in the last few years that were good, because of mergers, fellating trump.

    It was garbage long before Endgame.

    It was hit-or-miss before End Game. The first Iron Man / Thor / Hulk / Cap A arc was genuinely good action fantasy. Daredevil and Guardians were good. I've loved all the Dr. Strange movies.

    But the ratio of quality to crap definitely surged after End Game. They got Disney-fied, and its clear there was just a formula everyone had to follow. Movies that strayed farthest (and leaned hard into comedy) did much better than the action/thriller films that were ruined by predictability.

    Also didn't help that they never married the Netflix street level shows with the High Sci-fi. Nevermind all the wasted acting talent, it would have been fun to see Iron Man and Luke Cage or Black Widow and Jessica Jones share a script together.

    it was. thats why im not into the MCU, i prefer X-MEN franchise over them really should be separate from marvels Multiverse of "madness" spin. they had really potential good shows before the merger killed the x-men spinoff shows.

    It got a huge popularity boost, but they've always been pulpy popcorn flicks. Phase 5 was particularly bad in terms of writing but I think that's the only substantial difference from the earlier phases. I enjoyed a lot of Phase 4 (people are quick to write off the hype of things like Wandavision or Spider-Man No Way Home), and I'm glad I got the chance to watch some Phase 5 shows that might have otherwise been canceled.

    It's just course correction from the pop culture explosion. Comics will continue to be weird.

    alot of the shows like AAL had budget issues, it was telling with the props. yea they stretched out the shows way too much. on the comic book thing, people want continuity between comics and the shows, and the person at work said ooh i dont like those people, im guessing some people like all flash on no substance, which endgame was.
