Guardians 3 was good.

Mostly because they weren't trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.

On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.

Shang-Chi wasn't a bad movie... Not one I'm likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie...

Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don't have a full plan for what's next.

They've lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.

I absolutely detest the Flanderization of Drax and Thor. I appreciate moments of comedy, but I didn’t come to watch Abbot and Costello.

I didn’t even bother to see Love and Thunder because I have no desire to see how hard they dropped the ball on Gor. I say this as someone who loved Ragnarok

Attachment issues and fucking goats with one or two cool moments. There were some cool ideas that get overshadowed by absolutely stupidity
