Comment on ‘Captain America: Brave New World' bombs at test screening

That description just makes me think reality caught up to the MCU. I could describe almost every Marvel movie since 2010 this way.
I’ve had essentially 0 interest in the MCU since Endgame. They wrapped up that story quite nicely, but even by that point I was starting to get fatigued by the whole thing.
Watched the recent Deadpool movie last week and enjoyed it, but it offers something different to every other superhero movie.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier was a decent series, carried by Anthony Mackie and the chemistry between the leads.
The problem is that Falcon is already a great character. No super serum Cap’n America is already boring.

Reality is often disappointing.
Sorry I couldn’t help myself. I saw every MCU movie from Shang Chi to Iron Man. I stopped afterwards.
I can’t describe why? I think I have such a fond memory of Endgame and beforehand that when I hear these movies do poorly I don’t want to soil my memory of it.

We can all agree End Game was peak MCU.
Spider-Man No Way Home is the only MCU movie that I really enjoyed watching in phrase 4-5.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the last MCU I cared enough to watch in the theatre.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was good? but I can hardly recall what happened in that movie.
Most of the mini-series on Disney+ are forgettable. Loki season 2 was chef kiss and I want to see more of Moon Knight.
The recent Deadpool & Wolverine was dumb but it was lots of fun to watch.
I feel like those pre End Game characters are doing all the heavy lifting in current MCU. I don’t find myself caring for most of the new characters that they are bringing in to set-up for the next big stage.

Man, Guardians 3 was so goddamn good. The weird meat space station, the fun alien suburb. The ending was the best in the series, and 2 set a really high bar.
Other than that and Wandavision, phase 4 and 5 hasn’t impressed me. I really enjoyed Shang-Chi, The Marvels, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Loki. Had a good time with Dr Strange MoM and the What Ifs.

Shang Chi was great.

Absolutely one of my faves.
