Who do you think is the Anchor Being of the MCU or the Sacred Timeline? Galactus? Korg? Kang? Agent Coulson? Madisynn? (Two N’s, one Y but it’s not where you thiiink!) Alioth? (From Loki Season 1, episode 5?)

    Pretty sure it’s Thanos, because ever since he died (twice!) the franchise has been in limbo. Interest in the MCU has declined dramatically since the Infinity War arc ended.

    Even with all the new creative shows they’ve released since then, the MCU is still struggling. And I personally think all the TV series from WandaVision and on have been much better than the older series.

    EDIT: I guess the same could be said for Stan Lee. He died near the end of the Infinity War arc and the MCU hasn’t been the same since.

    Avengers: Infinity War was probably the best MCU film so far. Then Stan Lee passed away, and whereas Avengers: Endgame gave us a resolution to the conflict of Infinity War, it just doesn’t feel on the same level emotionally as Infinity War. It resolved the plot, but it just wasn’t quite as satisfying. The rest has been downhill since.

      Imho this is actually the problem. I maintain a 168tb media server and I didn’t even know about iron fist. Didn’t they announce they have to remake daredevil and punisher now? Groot mini series was one of many cash grabs. Wanda vision was good but super short and completely derailed SW redemption arc. Loki was amazing but too complicated for most of the fan base. Non fanatics are looking at the series as oh there’s another one?" The formula hasn’t changed much and its hard to get Karen’s and Kyles to care about the other other other ironman. Jonathan Majors ruined the next big bad and killed continuity. Not to mention the team is burnt out, Disney demands a lot from its workers and the marvel IP is built on the sweat and blood of a ton of professionals that are tired. They worked hard to make infinity war happen for years, then Disney demanded they churn out D+ garbage. Ideas take time and infinity war was an ambitious project, quality is going to suck for a while.
