Certainly has more humanity than most of the series, and I say that as someone who loves the action punchy laser shooty spectacle of it all as well.Shang-Chi - This was fun. Trevor felt entirely unnecessary and I didn't particularly enjoy his contributions, and I say that as someone who loved the Iron Man 3 twist.Spider-Man 2 - Great movie, Jake G nailed it as Mysterio. Again, nothing in the MCU really rises above "that was really fun" but yeah, this was really fun.Eternals - To quote one review I saw: "the only remotely relatable thing in this movie is that I, too, would fly straight into the sun if Gemma Chan broke up me." I appreciate they were trying something new here. I just also wished it had been good. Or even... not terrible.Spider-Mans - Again a really great movie. Andrew G stole the show for me. Doctor Strange - Started out pretty weak, but built to a hell of a climax. I don't even like Stephen that much. It was just really good. Way to finally give Elizabeth Olsen something interesting to do. And Rachel McAdams too! Two of the generations' legitimately greatest actresses finally get something to do in a Marvel movie.Oh yeah I guess there's the TV showsWandavision - Spectacular. Probably still the best overall piece of MCU content. The exploration of loss and grief. Vision dropping one the greatest lines in screenwriting history. The increasingly unsettling and ultimately tragic framing device. Randall Park doing card tricks. What's not to love?Falcon & Winter Soldier - You could not pay me to watch this. How little I care.Loki - This was fun, if not groundbreaking. Owen Wilson is brilliant, though.What If... - Got about halfway through, I think? Some of the episodes were great (Zombies, Dr. Strange) the rest were varying degrees of <shrug>, though Captain Carter was at least fun to watch, as was the "holy crap Ant-Man is terrifying" moment. Just couldn't bring myself to care about any of it,Hawkeye - Kate and Yelena are best girls and I will not hear anything otherwise. Speaking of some of the best actresses of their generation. Clint I could take or leave though. Preferably leave.Moon Knight - Watched the first two episodes or so. It was fun. I keep meaning to finish it, but it didn't really grab me.Ms. Marvel - Some of the best directing in the MCU, and holy hell what a find Iman Vellani is turning out to be. Still only two episodes in so far, but I have every intention of catching back up when I can. Could be my new favorite MCU thing.</blockquote>
