Really wish the MCU would end. & it's not just all the subtle woke messaging they've been throwing in it the past few years (Dr Strange takes a step back for the female & lesbian characters to shine). I've always thought they were just okay. It's tone too, they all feel like the same cogs in a machine to me. Each movie is designed to be a commercial for the next one. The characters grow very little. I'll probably get dragged to the next MCU movie in a few months. Ugh.

It’s too much of a cash cow. In its first two weeks Dr. Strange2 made more than the overall gross of all the other movies combined had made its first two weeks.

Agree with you about it’s propping up female characters. Basically we just saw one female character single-handedly kill off the multiverse Avenger All-Star team not to mention nearly everyone else. Elizabeth Olsen is about 5’1 100 pounds soaking wet. Going forward, we are going to see Natalie Portman take over as Thor (and do it better than he did) while Liam Hemsworth’s character struggles to figure out who he is. But the meter will continue to keep going… I read the Avenger’s are about to do another movie series.
