They should just make Ke Huy Quan the next big bad

LOL this would be amazing. They should go the full way and give a cameo for his EEAAO character (I’m okay if it’s unnamed but obvious).
If they are really going to recast/replace Kang, I want them to do what DC comics did and reveal that the real reason behind the multiverse breaking is actually due to Doctor Manhattan from Watchmen once again getting bored and playing with his favorite ant farms.
Thanks for the heads up, guess it will be joining the ever-growing list of Marvel series i won’t watch. Feels like.Disney is dropping the ball both here and to some extent with star wars (not including Andor ofc).

I am actually stunned at how bad the show was. Some of the other TV stuff has just been not to my taste, but this was not good. A shame because the ideas in there are some of the best of all time. I’d kill for an MCU TV show or movie that felt like Battlestar Galactica. Who can we trust?!!

I really liked Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Best Marvel movie since Endgame.

Oh, damn, that was Short Round?
My personal ranking of Phase 4-5 MCU TV shows. I could feel differently six months from now.
Tier One:
- Loki
Tier Two:
- She-Hulk
- What if?
Tier Three:
- Ms. Marvel
- Hawkeye
- WandaVision
- Moon Knight
Tier Four:
- Secret Invasion
- The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
The future TV projects I am most interested in are Ironheart and Agatha.

lol, that’s brutal if She-Hulk is in the #2 spot.

I loved She-Hulk.

Me too.
Falcon and Winter Soldier should have been better. I loved the dynamic between the two leads but can’t really persuade myself against the criticisms over the rest of the show.
My favorite part of the show was the Power Broker twist, even if I could see it coming a mile away.

She-Hulk was pretty good, but I hated the finale. Falcon and Winter Soldier I enjoyed but barely remember. Hawkeye I enjoyed quite a bit, especially given that the title character is a piece of soggy toast. WandaVision started well and then got increasingly worse; overall didn’t like it. Ms. Marvel I couldn’t hang in beyond episode 4, didn’t like it, but am still strangely optimistic about The Marvels. Moon Knight I quit mid-episode 2. Secret Invasion I was one-and-done.
Loki >>> Hawkeye > She-Hulk > Falcon/WS > WandaVision IMO.

I do have some level of contempt for the MCU TV project as a whole though. I have completist tendencies, and the fact that they’ve gotten me to give up on seeing every part of the MCU takes some doing. To keep seeing every movie is one thing, but I can’t let this factory convince me that I need to keep watching subpar television as an unpleasant homework assignment. Anyway, haven’t watched the Loki premiere yet, but obviously there’s reason to believe this show could continue being good.

Yup.
I’ve loved the Marvel movies. Hell, I was (barely) in a few. Even the worst ones were still entertaining. But my wife and I haven’t seen some of them because we know we’d have to see some of the TV shows to understand some of the plot lines and character appearances.
So we finally subscribed to Disney+ because we got a good deal and watched Wandavision, which we very much enjoyed. Going chronologically, it was on to Falcon and Winter Soldier. We stopped watching after a few episodes and haven’t watched another Marvel show since because we still feel like we have to finish Winter Solider before we can move on to the rest.
I’ve heard good things about some of the shows, but it all feels like homework now.
If it helps, I’m pretty sure that the shows have all existed on their own tracks and, e.g., jumping into Loki without having seen all of Falcon and Winter Soldier is perfectly fine.
The only example I’ve seen so far of needing to see a TV show in order to properly appreciate a subsequent movie is WandaVision → Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. I’m just going to shrug at the fact that I haven’t seen all of Ms. Marvel and will jump into watching The Marvels anyway.
I want MCU TV to churn out a bunch of stuff where it’s too much to watch everything with a diversity within the comic-based genre where there’s at least one thing for almost everyone unless you have narrow tastes like being a prestige TV snob.

I’m all for this if they keep them in a state of being non-essential to larger MCU canon. That just seems unlikely since they’re obviously incentivized to push viewers to watch everything in order to keep the Disney+ subs high.
