Can we please have Hollywood collapse already if all they're going to do is endlessly shovel the same slop onto people?

Don't worry, in the future, AI will allow Hollywood to distribute customized, personalized slop to every person. It'll be like the movie Clue where different theaters got different endings.

Best laid plans indeed!
Get a little first leak in, so everyone is like oooh i should ‘t be able to see this yet!!! I wonder
And then get some free articles about it,
Some fingerwagging to increase the drama. And the release the HD version after
Yeah i worked in film and games,
And leaks very early hurt like hell, and hours before sometimes too,
But days before, at low quality… that generates rumors and buzz..
Hmm can’t quite tell who that guy is due to the compression, theories go crazy.
Profit

I've never been a comic book guy, but I really enjoyed the first round of Marvel movies. These plot lines are so convoluted now that I can't keep track, and it bums me out. I'm glad they're making these for people that like them, I guess?

I'm just gonna wait to stream this one. With a cast this large, and with DOOM getting developed into a character over the course of a single film, it's destined for disaster. A villain that epic deserves a few films, not just one, even if they've managed to multiverse RDJ into the role.

He's literally in that trailer's thumbnail. I'm gonna guess his return isn't supposed to be a big reveal.

Every Marvel release is billed as “this one’s different.” This time the difference seems to be nostalgia.

He had a fantastic character arc and send off. What value is being added by bringing him back?

It's not that complicated, but I would argue the real problem now is all the hanging plotlines caused by all those post-credit teasers that ended up never paying off. Too much "throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks" strategy.
They also never quite recovered from the firing of Jonathan Majors. It's completely absurd to me that they didn't just recast his character, it would have been completely trivial to make up a in-universe excuse for his appearance to change, but nope, instead they just left a bunch of story threads hanging. Completely baffling decision.
They really dropped the ball these past few years. I was never a huge fan, but now I can't be bothered anymore.

With such a large collection of superheroes (is there a name for that? Herd of Heroes? Mega-Team?) either it's going to be really long or only a couple get more than a minute of screen time.
Can't say I'm expecting more than a huge barely coherent mess. The original Avengers movie, and Fantastic Four, and Thunderbolts seemed to have the right number of superheroes for a single movie. This feels like too many at once.

Sounds like the kinda thing that people spend money on when there's more disposable income available.

Adding more ingredients rarely improves a recipe, this feels like utter overkill of a cast size.

I'm really not feeling it. Rogers had a solid send off at the end of Endgame. His story was done. Bringing him back now feels like an act of desperation, rather than a desire to tell something new and interesting. Combine that with my having dropped off the MCU after Wolverine & Asshole (I'd apologise, but Hugh Jackman made that joke first, so it's canon), and I'm not really wanting to spend the time to get back up to speed.
Which in no way is meant to be taken as ragging on the people who still enjoy the MCU, and who are excited for this. If it floats your goat, then I'm genuinely and sincerely happy for you. It just seems to me that Marvel is grabbing at anything they can to try to recapture the magic of phases 1, 2, and 3, and it's not working. It just feels uninspired to me.
Maybe I'm wrong. I'm just a random middle aged guy pontificating on the Internet. But man, I feel old right now.

This smacks of desperation. They're pumping out a re-hash of tons of characters and actors, except for the main villain of this arc, which totally sent the over-arching plotline off-kilter. They really should have paused at the pandemic for a few years and thought hard about what they wanted to do next, before they jumped feet first into whatever the hell this mess is. Thunderbolts and WandaVision were great. Loki and Dr. Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness were pretty good. Is Deadpool and Wolverine even considered MCU? Well, it was pretty fun, but definitely a sideshow to what was supposed to be the main attraction. How sad to see the corpse of this once great franchise kept barely shuffling along.

No, sir, you are most assuredly not wrong. As evidenced by your ninja'ing of my sentiment about this being a desperate act.

I'll probably watch it when it comes to streaming, but there's just too many back stories for me now. It's hard to keep up with. Hopefully I can enjoy it without having watched half of the previous movies.
I'm also not a fan of the multiverse or alternate universe stuff. It's so lazy. Have a problem you can't write out of, no problem, just open another universe and bring in whatever you need! I had the same issue with the time travel stuff.

They probably blew the whole budget on schedule juggling, trailer space shuffles and ego massage therapy!

It wasn't just that it was that no one gave a shit about Kang in Ant-Man 3 either.
They expected Ant-Man 3 to break out not basically kill the MCU for a big chunk of the general audience.
