Not sure if you know how many comic characters there are, but we're nowhere near exhausting them. Shang-Chi was just them checking the Asian diversity box. And obviously Kang being the next big bad is why there's so much multiverse focus. Agree with pretty much everything else
Falcon and Winter Soldier would still have been shit even without the SJW nonsense. It was just so boring, meaningless, and forgettable

Keep Falcon as a sidekick to Bucky and give WS Cap's shield. Mix in a redemption arc involving Zemo and US Agent. Remove all the trash "poor pepo" shit and instead use Hydra resurgent as the main story villain.
Money.

its too late, you cant take away a title like Cap from a black man again. even if Falcon were to willingly hand over the shield to Bucky, it would still be looked at as some kind of uncle tom gesture. Falcon's only choices are to die and then Buck takes the shield off his corpse or another black dude takes the shield. or Bucky makes his own shield as well as finds a way to keep his arm from being deactivated by Wakanda.

MCU Bucky is not fit to carry the shield. There's nothing wrong with Falcon as the new Cap, they just chose to go in an incredible cringeworthy race-pimping direction for a big chunk of the story and then wrote it poorly on top of that.

Mackey just sucks. Look at how awful his speech was, and compare it to when Cap gave the speech before their started their "time heist" in Endgame.

There should just not be a Captain America if they're going to be such a massive downgrade as Rogers -> Wilson

100% agreed, no reason to change him from Falcon to Captain America, other than to virtue signal.

Wonder Man, eh?
Who will be his diverse female sidekick who is smarter and funnier and fights better than he does?
To me Phase 4 is just sort of a "random shit" cooldown phase after Thanos. I assume Phase 5 (and 6?) are going to have a lot more direction once the villain takes shape. The impression I'm getting is that Kang is going to be the Big Bad in a lot of movies, rather than just being saved for big end-of-phase event movies. They could have different versions of Kang showing up all over the place, with one central strongest-Kang as the overarching antagonist. So he'll be a lot more involved than Thanos ever was, and I think once that gets going, P5 (and 6?) will be a lot more interesting than what we've gotten in the last few years. They had to set up the whole multiverse thing first.
Yeah, I think we all overrated the previous films because of their culmination. We're looking at them as chapters of a tremendous book, with the hindsight of knowing what the full story arcs were trying to tell us.
P4 by comparison seems boring and directionless because it doesn't seem like it's building to anything, it seems like it's coasting on previous successes.
I'm also mostly checked out of the MCU. They could win me back if the Kang stuff gets going soon and is done in an interesting way. Not real enthused to see Thor at this point. I'll watch Ant Man, mainly in the hopes that Kang shows up and brutally murders him and Wasp.

Man, never would I have thought that a Taika Waititi film would have middling reviews (70's on RT is bad for him), what is going on with the MCU. Re4gardless I think it looks good enough to go see. Lady Thor doesnt bother me in the least, and even if Hemsworth and Portman don't have chemistry I like him in that role. Plus Bale will be acting circles around them, so hey why not. I never like or dislike these movies as much as most, I mostly think they are fine unless they are doing something very different from other comic movies (see Winter Solider or Ragnarok)

I don't want Ragnarok turned up to 11 though. Ragnarok had a very delicate mix of comedy and seriousness and it wouldn't have taken much to ruin the movie.

I am just gonna watch it myself and make my own decision. I can't even trust people here on their reviews cuz the of the anti-Disney shit. Truthfully I just went to be entertained and I don't watch just to find shit to hate on. I mean I enjoyed Doc Strange 2 as much as No Way Home. No Way Home is only really held up by the nostalgia factor imo.
