A saga about nothing.

That is to say - standalone movies, mostly, with some tidbits for people who've seen everything or know the lore. Not setting up dominoes for a decade later. Just sprinkling in bonuses for anyone paying attention.

Then they could really lean into how all these characters barely coexist, in their own stories. Spider-Man has decades of stories that mostly take place in a few boroughs of NYC. The X-Men are always doing their own thing upstate, and Peter might hear about them on the news, but there's not some grand crossover coming because they don't hang out together. The unlikeliness of ever even meeting Iron Man can be a running gag.

So embrace how television handles the long stories, nowadays, by making superhero movies more episodic. None of them need to be So-And-So Begins. Throw in a flashback if you really need to explain to any living person what Captain America's deal is. Chances are pretty good they already get it. Let people pick up any of these movies, whenever. Give them a self-contained story where the premise takes five lines of dialog and using your damn eyeballs.

This can still have multiverse bullshit! You're free to start a movie with "the distant future, 1997" and show a laser battle. Just resolve that shit in that movie, instead of making it a cliffhanger for a teaser for a crossover for blaaah.

Now this I can agree on.
