Marvel getting desperate (2 Viewers)

I had to think on this. What I would do if this was my world, and it should be, I would use the ending of Loki S2 as a soft reboot and get rid of all of the upcoming Kang stuff, but keep the new characters they've introduced, like She-Hulk, Ms Marvel, Kate Bishop, etc, and bring Dr Doom as the next big bad. That would bring in the FF, and bring in the X-men.

This has my vote. I feel like there's enough meat on the bone with the characters introduced since Endgame. I wouldn't want to throw all of that away. A full on reboot is tempting, but having to do that would be a pretty massive and complicated undertaking. I am curious to see what they do.
 
So lost in all the Majors drama has been the fact that Marvel recently announced that they have hired a new writer for "Captain America: Brave New World." Why is this interesting?

Well, the movie is already finished filming.

You may recall that they announced extensive reshoots for the film last month. Like five or six months worth. That time frame plus a new writer indicates they're going to throw out a lot of what they have and start over.

I'd say that's crazy, except they're also doing the same thing with "Daredevil" and have publicly said so.

It's interesting that Marvel seems to be pivoting to fix their issues in real time. I'm not sure I understand fully how things got to the point that this is necessary, but here we are.

In the recent Marvel book they described it mostly as being slowly pulled in too many directions- Feige lost a few of his close ‘brain trust’ colleagues and with the amount of content Disney was pushing for, he just couldn’t keep on top of everything (esp with covid playing havoc on their release calendar making them move things around that effed up the sequence)

No mention of how they killed, castrated or caricaturized every Avenger but Hawkeye?

That seems like a pretty obvious pooch-screw.

I get that there are contracts involved and actors just wanting to do other things, but in retrospect taking Cap, Iron Man, AND Black Widow off the table in Endgame was a mistake. It maybe wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't reduced Thor and Hulk to pure comedy characters, but they did. The end result is you basically had no OG Avengers to build around.

I've been doing an MCU rewatch and what strikes me about the early stuff compared to a lot of the later stuff is how much less GOOFY it is. It's quippy. There are jokes and repartee and the like, but it'd not just aggressively silly like so much of the later stuff has been.
