"the Multiverse Saga's overarching story is more complex than the Infinity Saga"

So we're going to use the word complex for the multiverse saga now? I think you meant to say "more messy, incoherent, and pointless than the Infinity Saga."

Nice attempt at trying to spin the narrative for Disney. How much do you charge for that?

I stopped reading this article after the paragraph where you said "Norrin Radd was selfish and short sighted because he only chose to save his planet and didn't think of all the others that would suffer." but then immediately turn around and say "But his girlfriend, being the leader of the planet, makes the same type of the decision but her choice is more relatable and grounded because she was the leader."

WTF?! So if a regular person makes a sacrifice to save their planet they're selfish but if a leader makes that same choice they are noble and brave? I don't even care about the genders, the idea that only leaders can make moral sacrifices given the same circumstances is nothing more than preaching to worship a "cult of personality". Leader worship is dangerous and i don't find that to be a redeeming quality for a movie these days

Maybe they could just develop other characters naturally and let them grow into their own thing instead of trying to "replace" an old character whose story has ended.

Feeling the need to "replace" means you don't have confidence to create something new that could be just as successful. They have a template and need Peg A to fit into Slot B like the instructions they printed out tell them too. It's this level of insecure laziness in the creative direction that has turned the franchise into a joke.

The MCU was doomed the moment the formed Civil War into a single Captain America movie. That should have been the next evolution of Marvel movies. The multiverse was/is too abstract and weird of a concept for the general audience, plus it removes the consequences of a particular movie because you can always get a new version of a beloved character in the multiverse.

Civil War could have taken the concept that heros have become commonplace yet dangerous and stretched that out over various movies, telling stories that were pro and con about registration. It would have been grounded, believable, and a cool exploration of that idea. Instead we got all of that shoe-horned into one movie that didn't treat the source material with any respect.

Total wasted opportunity and the MCU is still paying the price for it
