I was hoping the MCU finally dies off.

Worse, it will languish in mediocrity. Disney makes everything safe, family friendly, full of feel good tropes and completely mediocre. This movie will probably do well. Spiderman seems to be doing well too. But nothing else they make is really of much value at all.

Too much untapped potential. There needs to be a proper X-Men and FF movie.

Use those to start a new MCU. An MCEU or whatever lol.

I personally think the current iteration has too much baggage. Too many mediocre to downright terrible movies post-Endgame that would have to be slogged through to get the X-Men or whatever else. Too many dropped plotlines, and too much wasted potential.

They’ve already introduced the multiverse, so they can treat the X-Men as a soft reboot. If it goes well and they have a vision that requires it, they can merge it back into the current MCU to pick up whatever plot they were already building towards, except with hopefully better writers and revitalized creators.

That, plus their output should be limited to 1 or 2 movies per year, max, and no TV shows. Or if they do have TV shows, keep them completely separate, like the Netflix shows were.

If they do that, I’d considering giving them another chance. Otherwise, if it’s more or less business as usual, Love and Thunder and GotG3 will have been the last MCU movies for me (mainly because of how bad L&T was).

L&T had a Taika Waititi problem, not an MCU problem. ;)

Just got back from seeing it, best of the 3 IMHO.

Took tons of shots at the shitty quality of the mcu.
