The Marvels

To those out there who are just rooting for Marvel's failure and are taking delight in their current "down state", I just say, "Focus your energy on other things, guys."

My current lack of excitement/enthusiasm for The Marvels has more to do with the fact that none of the trailers have done a really good job of selling the movie beyond the whole swapping places angle.  I don't even have a decent sense of what the plot of the movie is.  Plus, this is a sequel to one of their more "mid" movies.  

But y'know, looking back at everything that the MCU has put out post-Endgame, most of the stuff of theirs I haven't liked as much has been the Disney+ series.  On the movie side, I liked Black Widow perfectly fine, I honestly love Shang-Chi the more time goes by, Eternals was very strong, loved No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness was a lot of fun, Love and Thunder still made me laugh enough, Wakanda Forever was strong and very emotionally-charged, Guardians 3 was good...and I actually re-watched Quantumania last night and apart from a few things -- mainly the way the movie ultimately drops the fucking ball hard with Kang by the end -- I honestly don't mind that movie all that much.  Whereas the Disney+ series have had their good moments/aspects, but the stories have been severely hampered by that bullshit 6-episode format.  And it feels like the writers haven't done a good job of writing the stories for that format, outside of maybe WandaVision (which was 9 episodes).
