It reminds me of the previous Ghostbusters reboot. The loudest vilest voices of the internet were so vocal about the gender of the new lady Ghostbusters, that it became a defense for what was arguably just a terrible terrible reboot.

hehe, yep true gender equality will come when we simply allow women to make movies just as bad as the guys

The Flag Smashers were not a "global level threat" in the way Ultron or Thanos were. The Flag Smashers might have had heavy political implications/repercussions, but the number of people they directly threatened was measured in handfulls, not globes.

Fair enough, but my point stands that the issue of "why isn't person X helping out here" is prevalent throughout the MCU (and the Arrow verse as well). The best answer is the headcannon of "there is always a reason, it just wasn't covered on camera". Trying to justify it on screen every single time it happens is just an exercise in futility at this point.

In other Marvel related news, they can now add ‘Academy award winning director’ to the Eternals posters when the movie comes out.

I'd say the Avengers are pretty much in disarray during this time period.

Iron Man is dead.
Black Panther is dead.
Warmachine has whatever mess to deal with he's going to handle in Armor Wars.
The Scarlet Witch has gone off the reservation.
Spiderman's secret identity has been revealed to the world.
Thor is in space with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I expect we'll find that Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau are going to have their own issues to deal with.

Doctor Strange should have probably made an appearance in WandaVision, but there's a lot happening concurrently in the MCU right now.

As mentioned by other, Black Panther isn't dead. But also Spider-man: Far from Home happens in the future compared to this, so his life is not yet in disarray.

Well, not hugely in disarray. At this point, he and his fellow Blipped pupils are probably still trying to sort through which classes they should be in.

there should be a hat for that.

So, Chadwick Boseman is dead. However, Black Panther, in the fiction, is not (yet). He's a head of state, and cannot be expected to come running when a couple of Americans are up against a political issue.

In terms of the timeline, Spider-Man's identity gets revealed after the events of FatWS.

besides that, literally, the Dora showed up to help. Kind of.

I gotta say, that whole bit was the best example of people who disagree about something managing to compromise.

And watching Bucky and Sam stand back while Walker gets his butt handed to him was priceless.

So, I don't watch Dr Who. It is not my thing. But I have watched the first two seasons of new Who. I thought Eccleston was alright. He made the role his own, and I feel his portrayal may be a bit underrated. He added a delightful upbeat attitude to the character. Tennant was superior though in my view. I can see why New Who fans adore his portrayal so much.

On Doctor Who, I don't have steady access to the property, -I stopped in the middle of Tennant- so I basically have no dog in that fight. I've wanted to see a female Doctor for a long time, but again, I'm not engaged enough to the property to give further comment. I'm not informed enough.
