And Guardians 3 was supposed to happen before Endgame, until Disney jumped the gunn by firing James Gunn mid-production. As far as I'm concerned, that was a pre-Endgame movie with a long delayed release and some retcons.
I gotta say, Multiverse of Madness was REALLY good. Other than that, Guardians 3, Wandavision, Loki and Love and Thunder (I know it wasn't liked, but I enjoyed it), I really haven't enjoyed Marvel.
Yeah it seems pretty obvious they’re trying new things on purpose before going whole hog on the tried-tested-and-true characters they just got back.
I think it’s smart to work on lesser known characters and experiment before using secret wars to pick and choose what to keep.
Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool is a no-brainer to keep if RR wants to keep doing Deadpool, so he’s the first step towards merging all the cinematic universes.
There’s been some misses, but there always were and I’m willing to cut them some slack due to the covid interruptions and everything else.
