Oh good, I hate harshing squee, or even just being a downer. A bunch of people I know are feeling meh or even down about this news, tho! It's disorienting.
There are no big crossover movies on the horizon, and no indication of who they want their new "tentpole" characters to be. (I mean, I had THOUGHT that Spider-Man and CM were going to be that, but there are no new Spider-Man or CM movies scheduled for the near future.)
Yeah, plus the way Carol was really built up in her solo movie, and then appeared for five minutes at the start of EG and five minutes at the end, mostly so she could rescue Tony and get stomped by Thanos, was very strange. Meanwhile, we had....Ant-Man! Because we had to have the outsider white male POV, idek. (No really, they were like "Scott's been out of it for five years, what a great way to introduce what's happened!" Argle.) I thought she would be key to defeating Thanos and then help start building SWORD in order to defend earth and....no? Wha.
Like someone said downthread, it's frustrating that now is when they've started pulling out the diverse casting, the female characters and superheroes of color ... now that they've burned up a bunch of viewer goodwill on earlier movies and people are starting to get tired of superheroes and they don't even seem to have a plan anymore.
SERIOUSLY, THAT. I'm like "Jane!Thor!" and "Maybe Wanda won't get screwed over!" and "Look at that Eternals cast!" and then I feel immediately wary because I don't want to get burned again. Maybe the F4 will be brought in via the multiverse and they'll be the new anchors in the post-Infinity Saga plot? ??
I do wonder if they might bring back the Defenders or some of them via Hulu after that waiting period is up. Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal are both really eager to return from what I know, but Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter seem Done (who can blame them). Maybe we could get a Daughters of the Dragon teamup. Maybe.
