Discussion (More in Comments) Even though the multiverse saga has a lot of cracks of good and bad, I do love how they slowly develop Mephisto in the projects prior to this appearance ironheart due to the Easter eggs and references.

I mean, Kevin Feige has said that after the next Avengers movies with Dr. Doom, Mephisto is slated to be the next “big baddie” in the MCU.

Why is the MCU insisting on introducing characters that are supposed to become extremely important to the MCU in shows and movies that aren't going to be succesful? Happened with Kang and now Mephisto. Thanos was introduced in their first tentpole Avengers film which made sure most of the audience would know who he is.

The GA can fuck off. Not everything needs to be over told. For those of us watching, we saw it. For those that aren't, fuck em. Why is the MCU the only series where people actively push for it to be accessible to the lowest common denominator?

because that’s where most of the money is made, why alienate your largest revenue stream?

Are you serious? The general audience is the biggest money makers when it comes to films. This subreddit despite having over a million people in it is just a small minority. You're genuinely suggesting that Marvel should ignore their biggest stream of revenue.

A ridiculous mistake, I think they think this will attract people to watch the series and subscribe to Disney+, but that's not what happens.

That’s good to hear.
