Semper's Stupendous to Infinity and Beyond Everything Marvel Movie/TV Thread

Yeah, I agree with a lot of that. I think slowing down and getting this right is wise. I'm as big an MCU supporters as you will find and I haven't hated anything they've released since Endgame, but it hasn't really felt that same since then. Not like bad or anything, but I think maybe it's too much too fast. Instead of cranking out more, slow the pace down and up the quality.

Also, I love slap stick humor as much as the next guy, but there needs to be some consequences and weight to what the post-Endgame MCU looks like. Thor as a movie on it's own was fine, but I didn't feel like it advanced the big picture narrative.

I want to see a bit darker, angry Thro who lays down the law sometimes. It current iteration is gone from funny to kinda funny, to cheesy, to almost cringey.

And the feeling for me is the whole post-Endgame series has felt muddled and out of sorts. Need to start tying some of the overarching themes together and turn down the spigot a bit. I'd rather a few hits than a bunch of marginal offerings.

They also need to reevaluate where their creative talent is coming from. A lot of their phase 4 and 5 writing brain trust are guys with ZERO film writing experience and many of them were poached from the Rick and Morty writers room. Which means they know how to write gags for a 24 minute cartoon, not major blockbuster movies.

I haven't seen Quantamania but general consensus from what I'm reading is the writing is pretty weak. A lot of people are expressing concern that these will be the same writers for Kang Dynasty, but with the unprecedented failure of this movie that may change.
