just get the information out there that you want the audience to know in relation to whatever they are doing in the new phase of the mcu. these characters dont really need to be carried forward (especially not no damn harry styles lol).

a lot of this *could* be more thoroughly explained in long form...but theres no way to make this more *interesting* no matter how much time you spend on it.

marvel has been successful finding an audience for 3rd string characters. but a lot of that is based on the audience believing those characters (and their storylines) are completely integral to the current arc of the mcu (a big reason for the success/prevalence of easter eggs and post/after credit scenes).

this felt like new (and boring) characters building a new world that hasnt already been explicitly/blatantly established in the more mainstream mcu. like theres been little to no indication that *any* of this existed pre this movie.

and then it just looked low budget and had a bland villain.

its starting to look like diminishing returns territory for marvel when it comes to stuff not based on the old mcu characters. this is prolly the biggest example of what happens when they try to milk from a different cow.

Agreed on long form. Disagree on alpha deviant
Nov 07th 2021

What about the alpha deviant showcased any depth of character?
Jan 13th 2022

Jan 13th 2022
25
yeah...
Jan 15th 2022
28
Yup. This just wasn’t gonna work as a movie.
Jan 18th 2022

I don't think that was the issue either
Jan 25th 2022

      That problem could have been solved if it was a limited series...
Jan 25th 2022
31
      Yep. That would have fleshed all of this out
Jan 25th 2022
33
      You don't think *what* was the issue, exactly?
Jan 25th 2022

Apr 04th 2022

Apr 05th 2022

                I think we should give them a little bit more credit.
Apr 05th 2022
39
                     I’m sure they’ll come up with an explanation…
Apr 05th 2022
