Marvel is rebranding its TV shows to show fans that they don't necessarily have to watch everything in order to understand what's going on. “The hope is that, like the comics, you can just pop in anywhere and have a satisfying experience. We’re trying to dispel the idea that you need to do any kind of setup work to watch anything else,” says Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's head of streaming, TV and animation. Here's more detail from Variety. What's your take on the MCU these days?
#disneyPus price change sent to me yesterday. Current annual price of $109 vs 2024 price of $139! Yeah, no! ESPECIALLY not when they pre-announce limiting TV show and movie production of #Marvel properties!
Finished X-Men '97 - what an epic finale 🤯 Tolerance is Extinction – Part 3. Best tv show I watched this year. Can't get enough of the Newton Brothers banger tracks - is there a full OST release already? Couldn't find it on Tidal yet.
🕸️ #NaData de hoje, mas em 1989, o Brasil vivia as crises econômicas do Cruzado Novo, e as revistas da #Marvel na Abril passaram a ter 68 páginas, exceto a do Homem Aranha, que em sua edição 71 manteve as 84 páginas e estampou na capa a chegada do uniforme negro.
I came up with a better way of how Wanda could've been handled in the MCU. She retains all the things she learned in WandaVision while still going on a path of villainy as her character so deserved. 1/n #marvel#mcu
The film will focus on Doctor Strange more than Wanda. The main villain will be Nightmare, with Mordo as a secondary antagonist. This comes after Spider-man: No Way Home, and Strange will deal with the consequences of the multiverse opening up on 616.
He will ask for Wanda's help to defeat Nightmare and Mordo, as well as closing the gaps between multiverses that were left open. 3/n #marvel#mcu
Early on in the movie, Doctor Strange warns Wanda about the dangers of the Darkhold; Wanda assures him that she is the only one powerful enough to keep the Darkhold safe.
Later, in a desperate attempt at resolving a very serious incursion, Wanda uses the Darkhold's magic. In a post-credit scene, Wanda's hands will be shown to turn darker and darker, signifying her slow corruption because of the Darkhold. 4/n #marvel#mcu

So yeah, in summary, I think the early MCU films are great cause they are full of character.
That they would go on to choke the life out of all mainstream cinema is unfortunate.
I had a moment of "Hey Tom, are you being unfair?" and no I don't think so. If a studio comes to dominate the cultural output of a medium, then they are open to all the criticism that comes with that.
Entropy balance and time travel in the MCU
(need to know the concept of entropy and homeostasis, and the previous principles of MCU)...
