The MCU films are kind of meaningless. I say this as a huge MCU fan, and I don't think this means the films are bad, I've thought about this for a while This is probably video worthy but it's not really animation based, which is why I'm dropping it in this thread --
--bit late considering quite a large chunk of the audience stopped watching after Endgame. And the MCU has had it's moments of doing something interesting, but more often than not forgetting about it (more on that later) And the Thanos snap doesn't really count, everyone knew--

--all the characters would come back, something common within the comics that I've grown to be sick of more recently. (So many characters just get resurrected or miraculously survive death, it's tiresome) I'm thinking more about what the MCU can do. It's a huge influence--
