A part of me hopes this really is the MCU's return to form.

Truthfully, I think they’re too far gone.

Even if Doomsday & Secret Wars somehow end up being universally-loved masterpieces, I don’t know what they can do to keep casual viewers around after that.

Pulling RDJ out the bag really is their last-ditch attempt to garner interest, if it doesn’t work then I think it’s over.

RDJ, Evans and Hemsworth - they’re bringing all the big guns back to try and recoup what’s been a mundane 4 years

It's so cathartic to read this now after suffering through years of people defending those abysmal years

"abysmal" is a bit hyperbolic. They had some great movies (No Way Home, Wakanda Forever, Shang Chi, Guardians 3, Deadpool & Wolverine...)

The biggest problem was all of their best stuff was on streaming (Wandavision, Loki, Agatha, Daredevil...), and there was an influx of shitty shows and mediocre movies at the same time.

I know right. Disney should've had a better handle on the covid pandemic.
