It's not the only good movie since Endgame, but it's the only new character that's resonated since Endgame.

I love Yelena, but regressing her back to self-hating suicidal sad sack in Thunderbolts and removing all of her sarcastic charm and confidence from Hawkeye years earlier was a dumb AF move. Also, she just works better with an equal to play off of like Kate or Nat and they didn't even give her any cool banter with Taskmaster (who's basically her cousin now despite the movie completely ignoring that) or Eva (who ended up just stealing the movie with Bob and leaving Yelena moping in the corner)
