    If you held on until Ant Man 3, I presume you skipped DrStange 2, Black Panther 2, and "Thor: bring your kid to the movie lot*?

    The MCU’s been putting out “meh” and “camp” movies for years. (Thor 2). I still go because I have a fairly low bar for date-night, and they’re still not the worst movies I’ve sat through. But I don’t know if I’d want to re-watch any of the ones I mentioned.

      No that’s his point. This is what broke the glass for them. What shattered it. This is when they realize oh wait I don’t like everything I’ve been seeing for a number of years now. That’s what he’s saying.

      I absolutely loved Dr Strange 2. If anything, that should have been any example of how the MCU could break from the mold from time to time instead of being the same.

      Black Widow on the other hand…

        You know upon re watching Black Widow not that long ago I was surprised how much more I liked it the second time around. Not the ending of course that’s all garbage that last like 30 minutes of the film or whatever it is was awful, but everything else? The stuff with the sister and the family? That all really worked for me.

          You know, I rewatched Thor 2 after watching Loki Season 1 (and Ragnarok and Infinity War and Endgame) and it was a lot better. I think it helped that I knew what to expect so it wasn’t as boring.

      And there’s still the odd gem to be found. Thunderbolts and F4 First Steps were both really good.

      Looks like Thor 2 was so bad you completely forgot it existed and are calling Thor 3 “Thor 2”. :)
