I think a lot of the issue here is I consume the MCU only casually, which is why I'm comparatively less down on a lot of the pandemic-era movies and shows - the only Disney+ series I know I didn't like out of what I've seen is Loki somewhat strangely, although Wandavision, What If?, and Moon Knight are all borderline cases (the middle especially was VERY hit-or-miss). That wound up biting me in the butt with Secret Invasion due to it following on from Captain Marvel in a pretty jarring manner, to the point where my #1 gripe with this series is how poor of a follow-up it is to that movie.

I guess I have a bit of a reputation on this board for being disappointed in Captain Marvel? I didn't hate it but I felt like it should have been a lot better than it was - how do you take a character that is like a cross between Superman, Samus, and RoboCop and make her so freaking boring? Even Ms. Marvel made her look way cooler than her own movie did. More just clarifying for those who might be confused if they thought I made it look like Captain Marvel was some unsung classic in the previous paragraph. It's more about me having issues with the current era of MCU releases suffering from both continuity lockout AND having too many moving parts - and for that matter I always felt the former issue was overstated (e.g. I was able to jump straight into Thor: Ragnarok from The Avengers without feeling too confused and then likewise right to Infinity War, although maybe it helped that I had seen Age of Ultron and Civil War before even if I didn't really remember the details), though I have a feeling the franchise's general pop culture ubiquity and having grown up on superhero cartoons (and I mean Justice League by that) made me evidently better-equipped than a lot of people.
