As a non-comic reader, I hate the multiverse stuff. It's "cool" factor reduces the stakes for anything.

The whole post Endgame movies have been a mess and so disjointed. They introduced an interesting character in Shang-Chi with some cool potential lore, but nothing has been followed up. The Eternals was a mess. Celestials seem like a cool concept, but again, nothing has been followed up. Then you have just a hodge podge of mediocrity. GOTG 3 was the only thing that was great, but that arc is so separate.

The only thing truly great has been Loki because Hiddleston and Wilson have great chemistry and Majors is awesome.

None of the other leads can carry Marvel forward. I'm gonna be honest, X-men has been done so much, I don't think it's the savior, and Fantastic 4 just doesn't do it for me.

Quantum Realms, Multiverses, other dimensions, realms....it's getting to the point where everything is bleeding together and I am not interested in watching anything

This x1000. I really don’t think you can do any sort of series based around multiverse or time travel stuff, because once you pull on the thread (as you’ll do with a series of movies or shows), it’s clear that nothing matters as you said, because you can always just redo in some other timeline.

Additionally, it’s absolutely a mistake to try to put really important story stuff in tv shows. I’m a grown man who likes to sit in a theater from time to time and watch some Transformers or superhero’s fight each other with a box of popcorn, but you’re batshit if you think I’m watching these thousands of marvel shows that they’re making to be able to follow the plot. Nowadays when I try to watch one of these movies, nothing makes a damn clue bc I didn’t see whatever episode in whatever tv show introduced this character or plot twist.

It’s so silly and alienates anyone who doesn’t watch everything.
