    Feels like they’re slowly ditching the multiverse storylines and heading in a new direction. Now that they’ve got the X-Men there’s a lot of options.

      I think Majors needing to be ditched alongside the reception for most of the multiversal slate is pushing a change of course. Really hope they can right the ship and recapture the lightening

        Was there ever a lighting? I recently rewatched many of the early MCU movies and to be honest they were mostly OK but not much better.

          I still love most of the original infinity saga save Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 and do a watch through every year. So for me it absolutely did.

          I think the main problem is that back then Marvel movies were considered “good popcorn cinema”. Then the whole Oscars/Scorsese thing happened and Feige etc started to push on how Marvel would produce high-class movies. Then people started to judge their movies not on a “popcorn blockbuster scale”, but on a “sophisticated movie scale”.

      All the most interesting marvel storylines involve the mutants anyway. I know they killed off their evil Wanda, but House of M would make an amazing crossover series. I guess they’re already working on secret invasion and dark reign would theoretically follow that. Which gives them both a new skrull bad guy and possibly kingpin.

      All of that would be fantastic, just can’t believe how bad they seem to have been screwed by this Jonathan Majors thing!
