All people complained about for the last three years was "it isn't going anywhere" and now it's going "too fast." Make up your minds.

Those are the same complaint. The franchise wasn't taking the time to pay out a proper buildup, so the climax is ramping up out of nowhere.

This isn't the climax.

It is "a" climax, like the first Avengers was.

That kind of depends on whether they ramp up or down after, doesn't it?

Tell that to Marvel. They weren't doing a good job of building up to anything and suddenly they're just jumping right in to having everyone face one of the most powerful characters in the universe

Movie industry don’t got time to reset and build off of doom after all the unpredictability that was thrown at the studio. Actors getting old. Actors want to move on. Kevin Feige ain’t getting any younger either.

To say nothing of Boseman passing, I really feel like he could have tied this whole thing together and was probably meant to.

And then of course Covid probably fucked up their entire pipeline, I know what it did to my company and we are multiple orders of magnitude smaller than Marvel Studios as an operation.

That’s just not accurate at all. They were doing plenty of build up and then suddenly had to change Gears due to the Majors situation. Why does the internet pretend that didn’t happen? They were clearly and plainly building to a Kang Avengers movie that they had to abandon.

They had Wong in multiple properties. They clearly were setting up Thunderbolts. They were clearly introducing the Young Avengers.

It’s just not true.

They didn't. It was the easiest possible recast in the history of acting. Even James Bond and doctor who take more effort to recast.

They could have even had Downey be kang and it would still work.

I'm more referring to Dr. Doom. The Kang situation was tragic for sure but just continuing on like nothing happened is crazy work. Doom deserves better than to just be shoehorned in

Because RDJ or any of the other actors are not getting younger, so waiting for another 5 or 6 years is not an option they have.
