It started when I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about Stormbringer...I found this post by @saaraofthesand :
Which led to the following discussion:
yeah.
I’m starting to get the feeling that Kevin Feige is hearing all the criticisms going towards the MCU and, although he’s not acknowledging it in interviews, he’s silently addressing them as the franchise moves forward. What I mean by that is:
1) “MCU villains are lame and one-dimensional” -> Phase 3 and 4 villains are now widely praised, especially Killmonger, Thanos, Wenwu, and Zemo
2) “MCU is not cinema” -> hires Academy Award-winning director Chloe Zhao to take on Eternals. Also, he allows her to make this slow-burn, epic high fantasy that goes against typical superhero fare. Clearly, Marvel is aiming for the side of film circles that heap praise on “Dune” and Christopher Nolan movies.
3) “Avengers: Age of Ultron was not good in hindsight” -> WandaVision and What If…? are made to improve on AOU’s plot points
4) “I don’t understand the time travel mechanics in Endgame” -> Loki and What If…? are made to provide a better understanding of time in the MCU (don’t even start with me, the time travel stuff is understandable based on what I’ve seen)
5) “MCU hates Asian people, look what they did with Ancient One and Mandarin” -> corrects the Mandarin plot point by fixing Ben Kingsley’s version and introducing a proper version of the character, makes a whole movie dedicated to Asians/Asian-American, creates Eternals with multiple Asian leads
6) “Hawkeye is not funny and chaotic like how he is in the comics” -> literally makes a whole series that’s based primarily on the Matt Fraction run, the one that everyone praises
7) “MCU is not diverse” -> just all of Phase 4 (and most of Phase 3)
There are other criticisms, but those are the ones that came to mind.
I’ve just always been disappointed that the only distinct physical trait of kalashtars is being thin and symmetrical, so now you can use this handy chart to roll your own sleep paralysis demon.

Date idea! So you're a 400+ century old witch, and I'm the human embodiment of death. I take your sons soul and you hate me for it for years, but then we almost kiss on a death mission to get your powers back after I signed up for a death mission willingly so I could spend more time with you
AGATHARIO KISS. I REPEAT AGATHARIO KISS.
