Not trying to be overly negative, but I honestly wasn’t happy with the overall direction of the MCU since Endgame. At least not until 2025/6.

Discussing this with other fans, I stated that the vast majority of Marvel shows since Endgame were superfluous to the overarching narrative, and someone said “you can’t say that about Loki”

Well, fair. But I still have hang-ups even there, because:

• Making all major plotlines into movies and only making seasons out of side plots worked really well for the MCU prior to Endgame.
• The feeling of “we have unlimited film at hand” or “people will watch whatever we put out,” seems to have lead to very basic stories in the movies
• Disney+ series all follow the same formula. All of them. Maybe Born Again breaks this formula a little, and it’ll be because it underwent major reshoots and rewrites to be more in-line with netflix precursor.

Loki’s series has major plot points, picking up the story thread from Endgame and providing context for Doomsday, and arguably for F4: First Steps. However, another story that deals with Kang is Ant-Man & Wasp - Quantumania, and this one is very open and closed as a story. Villain is defeated and they escape the strange world they’re trapped in.

Better if: Loki series becomes a film, albeit a long one, and Ant-Man 3 becomes a series. I know it would be possible - Loki’s plot would fit into 2.5 hours of cinema time, if not less, and could tell exactly the same story as it did.

Ant-Man 3 would be more interesting with a drawn out revolution against Kang, and some deeper exploration of the Quantum Realm. “Stranded in a strange world” is pure science fiction and something the MCU deserved to have explored better.

AM3 would ideally feature crossover with Loki, since both feature a Kang Variant as villain, and it gives the feeling that both stories are con-current, much like when one comic references another comic you can read alongside it.

(pairings don’t have to be released at the same time but it’s definitely better if released near to each other)

The Marvels was a busy movie, with 3 super-powered leads. But I found Ms Marvel’s storyline simple enough to be contained in a movie. So I would switch them. It didn’t feel like The Marvels presented much new info to the multiverse narrative.

[I think Eternals contributed nothing to the larger narrative except for Adamantium. BNW feels fairly open-shut, but also a series about running around fighting red hulk or a bunch of hulks could be fun and could include Bruce Banner or Jennifer Walters]

These two were clearly a bonded pair, and could see Rhodey team up with Riri, except Armour Wars was supposed to come out as a series. Rhodey deserves his own movie so I figure it’s not too controversial to make Armour Wars a movie.
