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

I'm probably in the minority with this but, I think the whole multiverse thing gave them to much to play with. They aren't constricted to a specific storyline anymore and they think they need to expand instead of adhering to one. Everything fit together in the first phases and even though we weren't sure what was going to happen, we could come close to guessing. They are all over the place now and I really have no interest in what is going to happen next.

Not sure you are in the minority, but I agree with you. I think it kind of worked in End Game and Spiderman. And Loki did it the best, but outside of that it has been pretty bad. Part of the problem is that if there is a multiverse, nothing that happens matters because there are universes where everything that happened didn't happen. There are just no real consequences to anything which hurts the drama and the tension IMO. That is unless there is a threat to the entire multiverse like in Loki. And there are no real triumphs because for every win that the heroes get, there are an infinite number of universes where they did not win. I mean, there are an infinite number of universes where Thanos won and if you buy into the concept of multiverses, despite what Dr. Strange said, there are an infinite number of universes where Thanos lost.

Although I think the saturation of content along with a reduction in the quality of writing and story telling are the bigger issues.
