I feel like another reason some of my MCU takes might seem so weird is because I'm interested more in the storytelling possibilities of the superhero "genre" than in the characters per se. Although on that token I feel like Multiverse of Madness has made for an effective enough introduction to the multiverse idea seeing how this is the first time a character from the main universe is travelling through it (as opposed to a time-displaced Loki finding out about it through sheer happenstance, a cartoon showing off other universes, and characters from prior film continuities showing up in the MCU), and in hindsight I feel like the criticism that the movie doesn't do "enough" with the multiverse concept may be more because of how the whole idea has become more common in media as of late, e.g. Crisis On Infinite Earths, Into the Spider-Verse, Everything Everywhere All At Once. That's another reason I feel like The Flash is doomed even discounting other PR headaches, but that's another topic.

Speaking of, I've seen Into the Spider-Verse twice and both times only found it decent. Other members of my family love it and I get the hype, but I feel like it might have raised expectations a bit high for some which might be affecting views on Multiverse of Madness in particular and maybe to a lesser extent No Way Home.
