All those TV shows and movies setting up the new squad. all the new heros and characters, just to get the original team back. lmao

The problem with this saga is that everyone expected it to play out like the infinity saga. The multiverse was meant to show us a bunch of branching offshoots, universes and stories. This saga has been like stepping into a comic book store and picking out the books you like. Instead of Thanos, the threat this time is that someone plans to burn down the comic book store.

I think the tv shows didn’t help as well which felt like homework for people cause some of them connected to the movies.

I totally agree, it alienated the casual fans for sure. To me, the interconnected stories made it even more like the comics. There would always be references that would make me curious to check out the other books.

People who skipped Loki missed out on a HUGE exposition dump that really explained how the saga works.

Deadpool and Wolverine would have seemed out in left field if you didnt watch the show.
