Continues to be crazy that they try and come up with all these reasons why Marvel films are having trouble now instead of “we had an arc that culminated in a huge crossover issue that landed with a splash and had no idea where to take it afterwards.” That’s as comics as it gets.

@NJD316 @coopercooperco Shit bro, IT'S IN THE NAME. "Endgame, I guess it's over now."

@NJD316 @coopercooperco Even GotGv3 was less continuing the MCU and more finishing GotG's story. The final "STAR LORD WILL RETURN" squeezed in at the last second made me audibly groan in theaters because, as far as I care, that was the perfect ending for that character!

@NJD316 @coopercooperco also the only 3 I have seen coincidently

@NJD316 @coopercooperco Guardians of the Galaxy 3, the one where we make the point that they're a family, again

@NJD316 @coopercooperco Shang Chi especially

@NJD316 @coopercooperco I don't know Shang Chi's story but NWH really was an epilogue for the MCU and GotG 3 was just finishing out the trilogy and if Gamora hadn't stayed dead it would have had no need to connect to the MCU

@NJD316 @coopercooperco I’ll note the lack of crossover characters. In the early phases, Fury or Stark were in almost *every* movie. Now, there’s cameos but there’s no backbone linking characters.

@NJD316 None of those did either tbh

@NJD316 @coopercooperco GotG Christmas special was a beaut I really enjoyed that.

@NJD316 @coopercooperco Shang Chi was great

@NJD316 @coopercooperco They should invest in Xmen for while and then recast the Avengers

@NJD316 @coopercooperco Don't forget BP 2

@NJD316 @coopercooperco Black panther as well but tbh thats always felt like its own thing and ill probably see black panther 3 and not any other marvel movies

@NJD316 @coopercooperco And two of those were basically follow-up finales

@NJD316 @coopercooperco I mean I don't see it as bonus content but even if it was, who cares if it's good?

@NJD316 @coopercooperco You should rewatch Doctor Strange MoM

@NJD316 @coopercooperco gotg vol 3 also was like a really good standalone film, that didnt require THAT much knowledge of the mcu. no way home was similar, as it was pretty loosely connected to the MCU

@NJD316 @coopercooperco No Way Home was an Easter egg abomination and exactly why the new movies are struggling. They’re less concerned with telling stories and more concerned with nostalgia and call backs and introducing characters who will eventually get their own movies.

@NJD316 @coopercooperco What about Loki, Wandavision and not to mention the X-MEN and Fantastic Four
