@3fe52772 Worst thing about the MCU is the incredible racism of Avengers: Infinity War. Cap says "we don't trade lives" and then thousands of Black Wakandans die to keep an android safe. WTF.
@3fe52772 As a teen in the early 80s I dabbled in #comics but I had big comic nerd friends and my stepdad had original Spider-Man fantastic 4 etc. I recall when DC pulled a coup and got all marvel’s best writers etc. Ugg, I umm 🤔 Love she-hulk 😊 probably my fav followed by the punisher for series favs. Omg can we have less jingoism, though winter soldier & falcon played things well. Movies umm 🤔 Logan was good Tbh I read a lot of darkhorse comics 😂
@3fe52772 > 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.
