[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 8941572, member: 40176"] I feel like that's what we've been witnessing ever since Endgame. Nothing really gels, nothing really sticks. Every Marvel movie up until Endgame I've watched and enjoyed multiple times, even the less-good ones like Thor II and Age of Ultron. And some of them are my go-to movies for fun or excitement - Iron Man, Avengers, Winter Soldier, Ragnarok. And they all feel like a coherent, building storyline that hangs together well even when some of the plotlines of the individual movies tend to get ignored in the ensemble pieces. Every Marvel movie or TV series since Endgame just hasn't had that glue, that sense of a unified purpose or plan, and the only things I've watched a second time were Loki and Spider-man No Way Home. There's been nothing I'd consider a go-to when looking for something to watch on a bored Sunday afternoon, and the idea of stringing some of them together over a few evenings to follow any kind of over-arching plot line is simply laughable. You may be right that the stakes and setting are part of the issue (I can't comment on Quantumania in particular as I haven't seen it yet) but to me, the major problem is that the MCU no longer feels like a coherent universe - it just feels like a bunch of disconnected projects and storylines with very occasional tiny nods to each other.
