Do I want the cgi to be fixed for she-hulk? Yes. Is it ultimately going to ruin the show for me? No bc as long as the story is good I don’t really care about the effects.
Do I think marvel needs to slow down on releasing their projects bc they’re making noticeable editing errors? Yes. Is it going to stop me from consuming all of their works bc the world is falling apart and I’m a simple man who ultimately doesn’t care if something is considered good or bad by critics as long as I enjoy it? No.

Something I don't like about the current state of the MCU (and DCU) is just how much work it all is. Some pretentious European movie from the 70's didn't require 30 other movies to provide context. You can pretty much watch any James Bond film in any order, there's not a lot of continuity to deal with. LOTR is an incredible series with a long plot but it's still only 3 movies; you only had to watch 2 other movies before Return of the King.
But with the MCU there's just so much! I think most people were following along fine until Endgame, but then it started to branch out too much. We get a new show every week, the multiverse idea just means that there are more and more threads to deal with and I just don't feel like it's working towards anything at all. Like, is She-Hulk required viewing before The Marvels? What context am I missing if I watch Quantumania but I didn't see any of the movies beforehand? Before Endgame there was certainly an issue with too many of the movies feeling like Origin stories, but at least they didn't require a lot of context. But now I'm so far behind that it just feels like a chore to catch up.
DCU has it worse since they keep rebooting everything. If your movie is meant to setup 5 future films and those films never come, then your movie isn't even good on its own. Apparently the next Avengers movie is going to be a soft reboot the MCU, so it's like why bother?
The films have finally grown all the same issues the comics had. Too many plotlines going on at once, constant retconning, and a focus on big events instead of just telling good stories one at a time. I would be so happy if we just kept getting standalone films that didn't really tie into each other so I could just watch them whenever. If they just made a new Batman each year with no plot carrying over I'd watch them all. Why did Columbo get popular again out of nowhere? There's 70 episodes and no plot to carryover so you can just watch one and get a complete story. Literally the best comic book projects to come out recently were fairly standalone or at least didn't need a lot of context. Werewolf by Night, Across the Spiderverse, The Batman and TMNT didn't need 30 movies of backstory and they didn't spend a lot of time just introducing characters for future movies. Spiderverse of course is different in that it is a sequel and a 3rd film is coming to finish the story but 3 movies is a reasonable number of movies to carry a plot over!
And what really gets me is that I did like the MCU a lot up to Endgame. I was pretty much watching them all as they came out in theaters. It was so much easier to do then. I think there are good stories to be told in the comic book superhero genre, but I don't think Hollywood can carry a plot over 40 films and have it work.

Underrated characters I think should have more fics:
Barbie (HOW IN THE WORLD HAVE I SEEN MOSTLY KEN FICS IN THE BARBIE X READER TAG???)
Liv Mckenzie (scream 5)
Alina Starkov (Shadow & Bone)
Kirby reed. (Scream) (There's like 25 fics max about her)
Sidney Prescott (Scream)
JENTORRA (Antman: Quantumania) (THERES LITERALLY ONLY ONE FIC)
JENNIFER WALTERS (she hulk) (PLEASE YALL)

Since Marvel phase 4 has come out a lot of people have declared that they are unhappy with the current direction and are leaving the fandom forever. …Okay? This isn’t an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure. You can just leave, that was always allowed.
Anyway I’ll still be here vibing if anyone wants to join me.

How much y'all wanna bet that Steve made up that whole story about having sex, and told Bruce it to make himself look better, and he really is still a virgin. Besides Bruce definitely seems like the most gullible of the group.
(I'm not in denial, you're in denial)
