...I see the argument here, but at the very least, I would call it "too soon" If you want T'Challa's legacy to live on, fine, do it ten years from now when he miraculously returns from exile in another dimension and is played by an actor who says Chadwick was his childhood herohttps://twitter.com/DrJasonJohnson/status/1329944231239094274 …

Or, you know, ten years from now when you straight up reboot the franchise instead of pretending like we can keep the MCU single-continuity thing going forever

Honestly I kinda hope they *can* keep it going indefinitely I feel like that's the best chance we have of rotating in new characters as actors age out of the roles, getting actual arcs and endings for those characters, and forcing the comics people to accept "things moving on"

So the entire strength of the mcu to me was initially that it didn’t have decades of baggage of continuity holding it back while still playing in the space of crossovers and a shared universe that people like about comics.

I’ve entirely checked out of the franchise at this point because we now have decades of continuity that fans will have to keep up with and it’s only gonna get worse.

I think the dirty little open secret of the MCU is that you don't really have to have watched all the other movies to enjoy most of them as stand-alone stories You'll miss some stuff here and there but it's still largely a self-contained narrative

I think that was the strength. I also think it becomes increasingly untrue over time

I'm increasingly frustrated with the refusal of both fans and creators (just former fans at this point) to let these franchises move forward, especially when they keep pushing successor characters who are women and people of color to the side to bring back the same white guys

And I have a hard time imagining a scenario outside of the ongoing shared MCU continuity where Sam Wilson gets to be Captain America on the big screen

I mean my thing would be to just reject continuity altogether and make every movie standalone that might still share actors or do crossovers while not ever being beholden to events from other films

I mean with JK Simmons back as J Jonah Jameson the MCU already *is* doing that with the Raimiverse Hell, with all of Stan Lee's cameos *all* of the Marvel movie "universes" were doing that with each other
