I think i’m over the MCU movies

After Endgame, the momentum is gone. I loved No Way Home and Multiverse of Madness. But everything thing else has been very “meh”. Without Cap and Iron Man I feel like the MCU lost it’s two main characters. Every adventure now feels like a side quest. It also feels like the multiverse is just a shallow excuse to have cheap nostalgic cameos from other franchises.

I didn't even like MoM.

Phase four has been a disaster.

@Whodunnit I feel like MOM isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I love Sam Raimi, I love horror movies and I love the Scarlet Witch. So I liked it.

@QueenOfZaun The parts of it that were pure Raimi were great. Zombie Strange wearing the wraiths as a cloak for example.

I think studio interference and having the main chatacter play second fiddle to the 'guest' characters didn't help at all.

I like Scarlet Witch too, but it was obvious that the writers had not watched Wandavision (which I believe they admitted to) and her descent into being evil but dumb was undeserved.

Oddly the thing I thought I would hate going in was America Chavez as she's pretty insufferable in the comics, but she was actually okay.

I think they could have done a lot more with the multiverse side of things too.

@Whodunnit Nah I listened to the DVD commentary for MOM they watched Wandavision. They actually weren’t allowed to watch No Way Home. I’ll admit the script has problems but I think the studio interfered too much. Sam Raimi and Elizabeth Olsen carried the movie for me but I can see why some people don’t like it. Scarlet Witch becoming a villain made perfect sense to me considering how evil she was acting in Wandavision. It’s pretty selfish and fucked up to hold an entire town hostage because your boyfriend died. If SWORD and Vision didn’t stop her, she would have killed someone. Besides Wanda was never redeemed in Wandavision. She was forced to undo the spell, said goodbye to Vision then took off with the most evil book in the universe.
