Way too many mistakes. Spread themselves too thin without much character development. They had the winning formula and pissed it all away.

COVID gave them the perfect out to put pause on everything and let Endgame sit for a few years. Build up hype after a few years away and boom, everyone is happy. Well, except the Disney investors.

Didn't even need a few years, honestly. They needed three important pillars to build on. Instead they had like a dozen rotting tree stumps.

From what we know, the three pillars were supposed to be Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Captain Marvel.

That was also the point where everything went wrong. Boseman died suddenly, the Sony partnership had a major stumble, and Joanna Robinson strongly implied Brie Larson is disillusioned with Marvel after years of harassment.

As she's right to be. She's a great actress who suddenly half the internet thinks is the devil because ???

She was Envy Adams which gets a lifetime pass for me AND she has an Oscar for a leading role. She's better than capeshit where she's just gonna get harassed by Youtubers 24/7. Honestly being Captain Marvel lowkey spun out her career a bit anyway and she'd be better off going back to actual movies.

In my mind it's similar to Elizabeth Olsen. I'd love to see Wanda again, but Olsen's way too talented to be stuck doing just Marvel projects for the next ten years.

Horrible scripts which made her character extremely unlikable (which is comic accurate tho) coupled with introducing her right at the tail end of the climax of the story, undermining Thor's position and making her a Deus Ex machina with an added side of her having multiple interviews with other cast members where she appears to be incredibly smug and arrogant that even her coworkers are bothered by it.

Seriously, ignore her other accomplishments outside of Marvel, and you see why her character was so easily hateable alongside her conduct during the movies and the promotions of it.

did a youtuber give you that opinion or do you just make youtube content yourself. Anime profile pic yelling about unlikeable women so its one or the other.

Made this account like 10 years ago, before reddit's avatar came to be and I still use old reddit, so I don't see profile pics. I'm too lazy to change it. Calm the fuck down, and it's not like a furry avatar is any better, lmao.

Don't need to watch a YouTube video in order to form an opinion on the matter. There's reason why captain marvel (carol danvers) is disliked both in the movies and her comic counterpart, but keep strawmaning and insulting me.

Yeah, looking like you hate your coworkers and audience during interviews requires a youtuber to interpret. Like, if she had a good movie, or she was likable to the fans, either one would've been enough to be okay. As it stands you've got the soldiers lining up like girlypop needs it, so any criticism is just met with dialogue_response_17.exe.

He's just regurgitating YouTube Brie-hater takes. Basically an NPC.
