#2In my huge sample size of A Few Acquaintances, people seem to be turning to the Marvel TV shows instead.
I did this for Star Wars... I had basically zero interest in the new movies or really anything but the Old Republic setting, but the SW TV shows are pretty engaging. They're so much more grounded than... Whatever was going on in the new movies.

Those aren’t doing so hot lately either. Secret Invasion in particular was pretty bad.
I’ve heard a lot of positive comments about The Marvels though. I’ll probably see it in a week or two.

#4They keep making boring content and using progressiveness as a cover, IE: if you find the stories bland and the characters having no depth then you must be racist, homophobic or misogynistic.
But I think a larger cohort of people have realised that, no, actually people were not slamming these movies because everyone is anti-progressive.
The only issue now is that Disney owns half of all media, so if you like movies or want to go on a date or take the kids to the cinema, you don’t get a seriously large variety.
Loki was truly excellent though, so they can do this; they just choose not to make complex and interesting stories and characters.

#5This was better than Thor4 or Quantumania. Good action, chemistry, and a decent story.
Disney+ probably isn't helping. not being able to do promo work due to the strike didn't help, either.

Southpark just ripped on Disney for this in their Panderverse.

Sorry, but season 2 of Loki was a nonsensical mess of a show. They used up most of their best ideas in season 1. I think it’s time for Disney to give the MCU a rest and come back to it in a decade or two.

#9there are so many movies in this universe—-i’ve given up because i’m so far behind at this point. theyre absolutely milking the content at the expense of quality.
i’m also confused about the batman movies. how many reboots at this point? i’ve similarly given up here too.

I think Loki is awesome for a few reasons:
great acting by Tom Hiddleston & Sophia Di Martino and excellent chemistry
Superb writing
Wonderful action and better than movie quality special effects.
Many of the other MCU shows & movies are similar in that they have a strong lead, talented villians, excellent writing, easy to understand plot and devices, and great special effects. If we go over the historical heroes and villians across MCU, the vast majority have great presence and we see some phenoms showing up even in bit roles. The MCU has really been a Cornucopia of Who's Who in Hollywood that has acting talent.
Unfortunately, Brie Larson and Teyonnah Parris are not comparable talents to Scarlett Johansson or Elizabeth Olsen, and though I think Iman Vellani is quite talented she is not as experienced as an actress yet. I view the casting of Brie Larson in the role as an epic failure that has led to the rejection of the movie, and her role. She is not comparable to the highly talented folks in the MCU, and I think the only fix is recasting the role.
