The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was badly written. It did not lead to Immortal Avengers starting with the original Human Torch, The Invaders, including Submarine/Namor on the battlefield. You see that is where the universe bifurcates.
One path leads us through tiny, incremental steps like Avengers: 1957 (adapting the Howard Chaykin storyline), Avengers 1960s (when the Avengers and The X men clash for the 1st time and Kang travels through time to defeat Galactus as The Fantastic Four and The Silver Surfer struggle against the world eater), Avengers 1983 where Nuclear War threatens Earth but that is when Nick Fury first makes name for himself while Elektra kills the demon wanting to become the next POTUS. Then Captain Marvel falls to Earth like Icarus did. That leads to Endgame.
The second path walks us where the brilliant WandaVision suggested we might go. Where magic upturns the MCU as science keeps leading to war. Of course, this path leads to Zombies. Those episodes of What If that create such glee.
Alas, by the time we get to Secret Wars and Avengers 5 and and Kang Dynasty we still will not have scratched any of the itches.
So, to avoid your having to watch another 30 hours plus, let’s spoli it once and for all and move on.
Top 10 things that spoil the MCU:
Tony Stark is alive. He waits, on the edge of the Multiverse where a new universe is waiting to be born while the old one dies. His mission, at the moment, is to build an arc and transport those from the current MCU, to the next.
Galactus is coming but he is running from The King in Black. The Symbiotes want to devour the Multiverse and Galactus is stopping them. He will sacrifice himself so a new universe can emerge and T’aa can be saved yet again.
Kang is the reason why the entire MCU exists in the first place. He defeats Galactus in 1960s NYC meaning he can exist. If he does not travel back in time and defeat Galactus, Sue Storm and Reed Richards never have Franklin Richards, and so on…So Kang realizes what he must do.
Loki has been lying all along. He cast a spell hiding the fact that he killed Thor’s other brother Baldur. The reality he created will be revealed as his ultimate crime and Thor will have to kill him once and for all.
Thanos returns to help save everyone and everything because he was right. With only half the universe left Galactus cannot ever become strong enough to wreak the havoc he does.
The reason Okoye never accompanied the Avengers on the time heist has everything to do with Wakanda battling Doom. Once half of life was gone, Doom, who saw all of this coming from his perch, next to TS at the end of the universe, he tried to take over the planet by first invading Wakanda.
The Thunderbolts split and part of them become The Russian Avengers. This is where we will see the romance between Bucky and Yelena. She went to Brooklyn to find him at the end of Hawkeye. The Russian Avengers will include Crimson Red, Magik, her brother Colossus, who is being chased by…
Cable, Bishop, Wade, Logan, and Creed are time hopping THIS WHOLE TIME chasing the forces trying to kill Jean: The Avengers who fought her on that beach in 1962. You see, unless Jean survives her war with The Avengers, Nathan is never born. Neither is Hope. And Hope is the only one powerful enough to kill…
Apocalypse. His Age of Apocalypse is among the titles Netflix will license from Marvel Studios (along with various Spider-Verse titles and Live Action What If features. The Disney board will see the problem: Marvel Studios cannot do everything.
Finally, yes there will be a Battleworld. A god Doom. An old man Star Lord. A Nexus level version of every one of the original Avengers. It will be very confusing. There will be Multi Verse versions of every one of the characters you can think of until the 3 mistakes Kevin Feige has made can be corrected-
Any Marvel universe without The Black Panther is incomplete because Wakanda is responsible for forcing Doom to surface.
Any Marvel universe without the Jean Grey, Marvel Girl, Phoenix, Dark Phoenix conflict misses the point of Professor Xs arc, Logan’s arc, Juggernaut’s arc, Cable’s arc, Hope’s arc, Alex’s arc, Scott’s arc, Mister Sinister, and ultimately the relationship between Apocalypse and Kang/RamaTut and the origins of the universe after Galan of T’aa makes a deal with Cosmos.
Daredevil, as in Matt Murdock knows Natasha and Steve, He would be looking for her/them THIS WHOLE TIME. Every problem he has ever had is one he would discuss with Natasha, essentially his super hero best friend and connection to SHIELD/SWORD and his need to become the head of the NYC Underworld.
Yes, there is a number 11. The women will protect the children from everyone. Wanda gets her chance to explain herself to Jean who will protect X-23 from Steve and all hell will break loose.
Well, now you do not have to watch 30 or so hours of Marvel content. You can rest knowing that Tony and Carol save everyone. Sam and all the other Captain America’s do not want the job and Morgan steals Pepper’s armor and ends The Armor Wars. Oh, The Hulks?
Netflix will license Planet Hulk and make it so big that Kevin Feige will wonder why he never thought of that.
You are welcome. DC next…
