But without the shoulder pieces. Uuurrggghh. So close.SLEEVELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The multiverse stuff has been pushed for a WHILE now and its mostly fallen flat on its face, No Way Home was an exception and maybe this one will be too - but I still think a lot of these multiverse things are dying out, they will use them to mash together the best pieces/casting from different continuities and fold them into the MCU and then move on.Looks like it'll be a lot of fun.
But.......
It's just another Spider-Man No Way Home movie. If this hits big too, which is likely, the future is gonna be nothing but multiverse crossovers. That have no bearing on universe building stories with consequences. Random characters thrown together from different timelines for big box office draws. The MCU truly ended after Endgame.
The Nostalgia era has begun. Studios' mantras are about to change from "We don't owe the fans what they want" to "Give the fans what they want!!!"...
Next up will be a DC/Marvel crossover since both Disney and WB need $$$ big time.
Forget the sleeves, I'm still seeing no mask. Like Bob Marley said, "No Mask No Buy." ERRR, "No Woman No Cry."SLEEVELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
100% saving the mask for the movie. It'll probably appear in one scene then be gone though, but just to see it will be enough.Forget the sleeves, I'm still seeing no mask. Like Bob Marley said, "No Mask No Buy." ERRR, "No Woman No Cry."
At this point, I'm OK with the MCU ending after Endgame and getting the occasional pearl (No Way Home, this)... The 10 year universe building the MCU managed isn't going to happen again. While not perfect, it was pretty incredible and culminated with a great penultimate and finale...Looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

Same here, mostly checked out of the MCU now, haven’t watched the last 4 or 5 movies except for Guardians. Just gonna tune into things I think seem cool like this.At this point, I'm OK with the MCU ending after Endgame and getting the occasional pearl (No Way Home, this)...

Ps. Sign me up for a fan service, DC/Marvel crossover!
Yeah, I've been over the MCU for a long time now. The movies were slowly diminishing in quality from one to the next, and the D+ shows are just bad. It's strayed so far from the original that it's barely recognizable anymore. Marvel Entertainment's (Pre-Disney) goal was to make movies as close to accurate to the source material as possible. That slowly changed over the years. It's only seen with the core 4 Avengers (Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk) and their individual movies before leading up to Avengers. Widow and Hawkeye were close enough as supporting characters. I still will also say/feel/believe Infinity War was the far superior movie, and Endgame began throwing it of the rails with it's time travel schtick. The 2 death knells of any meaningful story, introducing time travel and the Multiverse. Nothing that came before no longer has any weight or merit. Everything can be re-written/changed at any time to suit the current narrative.At this point, I'm OK with the MCU ending after Endgame and getting the occasional pearl (No Way Home, this)...

The sorry part is, this may "fix" the MCU but Feige's post-Endgame planning would probably make any ramifications from Deadpool & Wolverine meaningless over the course of the next 5 projects. The guy introduces Easter Eggs but they never get peeled and served.Yeah, I've been over the MCU for a long time now.

Sadly, I think it's becoming more entertaining watching it crash and burn than being naive and hoping for it to get back on track. It's just not gonna happen at this point.
RIP MCU... (and Star Wars)
