i really enjoyed Locki, funnily enough, i like Wanda Vision too. I also really liked Jessica Jones so if they extend any of those threads i'm in. The other stuff, i've generally reached my limit on them

This came first

i myself enjoyed Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms Marvel, Werewolf by Night the most out of the spin offs/special presentations


although Werewolf by Night, i adore the black/white version more than in color, gives it that special classic touch a la Dracula or Frankenstein if you get what i'm trying to say

Jessica Jones & co (the Netflix shows) were taken out of being part of the same universe for a while... then the "new Daredevil series" (same actor) didn't go down well as a concept... so now it's gone back to being a continuation of netflix Daredevil, meaning Jessica Jones is back in the official line-up of shows too. So you never know, she might be back (either a standalone series or featuring in Daredevil).

Yeah we rewatched Breaking Bad recently and I said "Pff, Jessica Jones would never die of some poxy heroin overdose".

And my wife glared at me cos she doesn't watch Marvel stuff so had no idea what I was on about.

If it's an entertaining film it will get a thumbs up from me, if it's not, i will just wait till the next one rolls along

I get what you're saying to a point.

But I do believe that as viewers we all need to hold some quality standards when partaking in something that's meant to entertain us.

I get that it's not the end of the world if a Film doesn't float your boat, but creatively speaking the only interesting direction I can see Marvel having left is the darker take on the universe with Blade.

Everything else is just copying what Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Guardians Of The Galaxy have already covered in terms of their tone, style, and general themes that they were all individually covering.

My basic point is that the MCU is creatively dead for the most part, and as usual the Corporation (Disney in this case) is plaguing the Cinema world with this level of quality, which is a problem for the industry imo.

Just like what the Video Game space is currently having with subpar releases of Resident Evil, Sonic, and Yakuza/Like A Dragon installments, instead of new creative ideas that might actually be well written, well made, and feel fresh for the audience.

Not everyone wants the 50 millionth Fast & Furious Movie either, but again Corporations just ignore a huge market, because they're scared of testing something new.
