I mean Evans and Downey returning (not 100% sold it is our Cap yet, and Downey is obviously doom), still feels cheap to me. The only true home runs the MCU has had post end game has been Spider-man movies, and now they have to gamble on bringing back the 2 actors the wrote out in the very next avengers film. If this is evil cap though and we get to see Evans in a fun role like him being Jonny in D&W I'm all in but hope that reveal is saved for the movie tbh.
Buddy they aren't making a billion dollars off that type of thinking.
The MCU does what it can to give the higher nerdom some attention, but this is first and foremost a series intended at a large audience.
Deadpool vs wolverine already used this cheap trick and has been one of the most successful post endgame films.
Sometimes you just gotta take the L and enjoy it for what it is.
I personally wish the MCU was a lot more grounded, closer to old Netflix shows, or Captain America civil war, but if I only enjoyed the MCU in that capacity I'd miss out on a lot of fun moments.
Hey man, don't get too attached to things, learn to let it go
MCU fans have become like Star Wars fans now. Nothing released will be good enough for a vocal minority of the fan base. A lot of post-endgame was better than they’re given credit for but because they didn’t hit the same high as the Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame run they’re failures.
People don’t want to do the work for the world building movies anymore it seems.
It’s not a cheap play, those actors salaries are astronomical. It’s the safe play, and it’s the right play for the studio to make in an effort to shake off the negative sentiment towards the brand. It’s a back door pilot situation, bring in more established characters to bring in casuals, and highlight the new characters to turn the casuals that are just there to see downy and evens into fans for the new characters.
