I'll accept the backpedal while still recognizing that that's exactly what you're doing.
No you can't do this all day. If you could then you'd be able to stand your ground without needing the validation of "millions of other fans." Waiting until *after* the portals open before mustering the courage to go to battle just isn't Cap's way.
Of course I don't recognize Ghostbusters 2016 as being part of an ongoing story with GB 1 and 2. GB2016 doesn't even consider itself part of the same story, lol. Dark Fate certainly does and if the studio started calling T1, T2, and DF "the Cameron Saga" then I'd have no problem acknowledging the actual moniker when talking specifically about those three films as a whole. You don't have to like something in order to acknowledge reality. I usually bristle at calling Star Wars "ANH" since that isn't what it was originally called but it *is* the official episode subtitle and often times it's just easier to use as a point of reference.
Marvel started all this with "Phase I,", Phase II," "The Infinity Saga," and so on and since SW is just going to keep going on apparently forever just like Marvel then compartmentalizing certain sections just makes logical sense. Calling it out as phony or desperate is just silly and intellectually dishonest.
...also, it's a LONG wait anyway.
