Enter a brave new world.Marvel Studios' #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld, only in theaters February 14, 2025.► Watch Marvel on Disney+: https://bit.ly/2XyBSIW► S...
I never watched Falcon & Winter Soldier. The American military industrial complex corner of the MCU is dreadfully boring. I guess there are Call of Duty people out there who might be into this, but I want more weird shit. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 living space stations, Dr Strange dimensions shuffling, Sandman, Preacher. If you’re making comic book movies and not ripping my concept of reality to shreds, you’re not showing up ready to play.
The key difference for me being that I’m fine with small amounts of the political/military stuff here and there to give a bit of perspective. That’s why I liked the show, it brought the scale of things back to a relatable level. But it should have been just that, then moved back into where the MCU was going.
We can get political thrillers and conventional action/adventure anywhere. The MCU is really the only place for the, as you said, weirs shit. Even in horror, fantasy and sci-fi, getting the kind of genre crossing strangeness that’s MCU can provide just isn’t common.

I’m mostly with you there.
