Before I answer that…..
Just wanted to say… damn man…. I’m mad I can’t find this tweet I came across yesterday. The context was about or to the people that are blowing out of proportion the Kang with the ants shyt and saying it’s a bad look to him or he’s ruined.
It was reminding everyone that Thor in the MCU once basically defeated Loki by putting the hammer on his chest and how that didn’t ruin him.
Was an interesting take and basically summing up shyt in 1 word as “relax”

Back to your question, I’m not sure if it’s recency bias but Antman 3 to both questions.
But that’s really a question maybe should come back to me later in the year

you're talking about this one?
As someone who didn't follow any phases closely nor the majority of the films, did they "hype" that person up to be the biggest bad ever?
If they did, then point taken and maybe the writers will write themselves outta it. But if they never really hyped that guy up like that, at least not on a Thanos level, then kinda a false equivalency

good look… that’s the answer I was honestly hoping for. I’m a marvel fan who does believe the quality has fallen offa bit but nowhere near as bad as a lot of others are saying. Wit Stan wars and also paid shills/ haters u just never know if someone is just going along with the crowd or not. Had u said Thor love and thunder was better I would not be taking my kids to the movies tonight to be honest…

as far as Loki…. No they didn’t hype him, he was a character villain from the first Thor movie that ppl knew was basically a henchman for someone else. The big surprise came at the end when it was revealed Loki was sent by thanos…. The union between superheroes which created the initial avengers mcu team is what “hyped” that first film. “Hyping” super bad guys came from our thirst to finally see thanos in infinity war after YEARS of soft teases…. And as far as kang goes, let’s remember there are a lot of kings so if this one felt “overhyped” and let u down a bit don’t worry because a kang exiled from his 30th century tech to a foreign dimension was still able to make that dimension a kingdom and be a major threat. Just imagine a Kang with full access to his tech. It’s like how He Who Remains moved so fast Loki couldn’t touch him…that tech is what makes kang who he is and everything I’ve read about the ant man kang leading up to this film clearly stated that this kang variant does NOT have the tech he needs.

My opinion on Wakanda Forever will always be skewed though. That’s what made your question challenging.
As I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it either.
Like everyone else, I was sad we lost Chad, but I was deep in the camp if they should’ve just recasted the actor for the character and just keeping it moving.
His family didn’t have a problem with it and I don’t think CB would’ve wanted it to go the way it did.
It was intriguing how they tried to work around it but it set things in that world in a weird place moving forward.
What do you need snacks and drinks for?

He was not. I didn't know he would be the villain in Avengers until I saw the trailer. But also the MCU now just has more hype in general compared to those days. No one was paying attention to it like that back then and now it is under a microscope.

I think the biggest different is….. this character Kang isn’t a 1 and done villain.
There is a fairly unlimited amount of them and Loki already set up that there are many that are more evil or worse than him. Losing the one that ain’t even dead is a drop in the bucket to what they had and we saw a sample
The Russo's weren't ghostsI think Kevin Feige needs his ghost writer back from the infinity saga
You bring up an underrated point tho
Feige's name has become so ubiquitous with the MCU that nikkas tend to forget all the help he had getting into his position
Jon Favreau and the Russo's did a lot of the heavy lifting that built the first three phases into what they were. Now that it's JUST Feige and he has tripled the workload shyt is looking funny in the light
After thinking about it for a week, here’s what didn’t and did work for me.
Didn’t work:
-Goofy plot
-Janet never mentioning Kang
-The awful jokes
-The stupid Quantum creatures
-The stupid walking buildings
-Bill Murray’s character
-All that damn CGI
-Generic army of Mysterio looking soldiers
-Goofy looking battles
-Scott’s daughter can’t act
-The movie looked too bright and polished
-Kang being defeated by Antman
-MODOK looked horrible and should’ve been done with practical effects
-Run time
Did work:
-Kang when he wasn’t taking an L
-Kang when he was using his tech and weaponry
