> What's the worst thing about the MCU?

Too much content, not enough thought going into storytelling; character development and relationships, satisfying setup and payoff. All the stuff that gives the big CGI fights their stakes, so we care who wins. A cinematic universe offers so much opportunity for setup and payoff, within and between movies, and MCU movies used to do this well. But I've been mostly disappointed since Endgame.

The Eternals.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Seriously though, this story needed a trilogy to do it justice, if not a series. There's just too many characters and too many events and locations to fit in one movie, even a 3 hour long one. Everything feels rushed and under-developed. Like trying to fit all three GotG movies into one.
