MCU could be so much more. I get why over saturation is so tiring to so many, but honestly I don't think even that has to be a problem. Marvel comics has been around for over 60s years and certain characters are even older there's a reason why they have endured so long. I don't think the MCU allows it's properties enough individuality and I don't think enough writers let their characters just take a moment and develop
Agreed. It seems characterization has been relegated to the back seat for some reason and now they do the bare minimum and the interactions between the characters are one or two lines that get the message across then they move on to something else. They care more about joining the dots than showing how a character goes from A to B.
Like Stephen's fear in MoM, for instance. He says he's afraid to Christine, then her 838 variant tells him to overcome that fear and in the post-credit scene he says to Clea he's no longer afraid. It's all so superficial! What do these writers think, that traumas disappear once you mention them? If only! Did they explore why he's feeling that way? They sure did, with two lines about Donna. Two.
If you need to remove two fights in order to include that, then you do it. If you need to dial down on the shocks and the cameos... then do so.
They did the same with Bucky in TFATWS, they wanted to take a traumatized character and in the end show him happy and living with the Wilsons, so once you reach ep6 he's with them smiling and goofing around but you have no clue how he got there. Or worse, they show you his character visiting the families and re-traumatizing himself in a quick 30-second sequence that didn't even show the actual conversations and then act like that action was healing for him. Come on, man.
Not everything is bad though and I do think they tried to do something different with Eternals, and I wonder just how much power did Chloe Zhao truly have. I know many directors have complained that they don't have enough time to work on the movies and Sam Raimi said this year that certain things in the films are decided by the higher ups and can't be changed by anyone, and directors are kind of forced to navigate through that.
You'd think having an interconnected universe is to blame for all that but... is it connected though? The Loki series has no effect on any series or movies after it, the same could be said about WandaVision because Wanda's character was completely retconned for MoM, and Hawkeye + TFATWS + Moon Knight are irrelevant for the rest of the universe. It's not connected at all.
Quick edit to say they did nail Moon Knight and what's funny about that is they took off the suit for a couple eps, the fights were a second thought and the focus was on the characterization and Marc's pain and past. So they can do it, they still got it.

Don’t get me wrong I adore Steve Rogers but him stepping down and giving Sam the mantle of Captain America is probably my favorite thing that has ever occurred in the MCU as a whole

It’s basically cannon that Bucky’s a Wilson now right? Like Sam and Sarah can fight over him if they want but he’s committed to this family now, he loves they, he will continue to lift the heavy stuff for the boats, watch the kids, and hype his Captain America boyfriend/brother in law?

"Who are you?"
"I'm captain America"
"I thought he was on the moon."
I LOVE this line, cuz it means even to this no name random senator, John Walker was NEVER Captain America.
Even in the earlier episodes, when people were asking for his autograph. They called him John Walker.

@ every single sharon anti who hated on sharon so intensely, sent death threats & bashed on evc repeatedly for no reason, etc.
just hope you know that YOU’RE the reason sharon is the power broker. YOU’RE the reason marvel ruined her character. they saw how much you hated her, and decided to take advantage of that. your hate is the reason marvel felt like turning sharon into a villain was the right move.
congrats. hope you’re happy.

the whole time Sam is fighting Karli and she’s screaming for him to fight back and he does nothing but defend himself because he still believes she has a chance

Final thought: Sam’s last scene with Isaiah was so touching and heartbreaking yet perfect. Isaiah is someone who was tortured by a country he fought for and has every right to hate but Sam surprised him and inspired him and made him feel hopeful for the future again even after everything he’s been though and that is what being Captain America is all about

people really think zhongli is not at fault for what he did in his first archon quest, i like him a lot of course but i’m not blind to what his actions took place in the story. what he did, albeit good intentions, were still questionable. that doesn’t mean he’s “the bad guy” though, he’s just a complex person and that last post i rb reminds me of how you guys say you don’t categorize characters in black and white but then you do it anyway.
