      I used to be a marvel nerd but now they suck and only a handful of projects after end game was good.

        Guardians 3 was good.

        Mostly because they weren’t trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.

        On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.

        Shang-Chi wasn’t a bad movie… Not one I’m likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie…

        Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don’t have a full plan for what’s next.

        They’ve lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.

          I absolutely detest the Flanderization of Drax and Thor. I appreciate moments of comedy, but I didn’t come to watch Abbot and Costello.
