I don't typically watch them in theaters anyway, I'm very happy with what they;re doing for the most part and I think this "phase", kinda like phase 1 is about finding yourself/themselves and gainng some footing, especially on the TV side of things. They haven't perfected the formula just yet in that aspect and even that's still exciting. The first batch of movies that all kicked this thing off were clunky and directionless at times, this is a new begining.
You're supposed to be detatched from the timeline.
This is why everybody was saying oooooo endgame was the perfect place to end it, because it had a nice little bow on it. People expecting THAT again are sorely mistaken. It's not a reset, reboot, it's an expansion...we literally have TV shows showing the "sacred timeline" being broken, that is a metaphor for the continuity that made the MCU experience what it is breaking down and expanding.
People complained so much about everything being the same, cookie cutter, this movie being an ad for the next, not really "cinema", super hero this and that....breaking up the timeline, traversing the multi-verse is all leading up to finding the footing to rectify those issues. Delving more into genre films instead of just being labeled "super hero" shyt and people don't know YET how to take the changes but you'll eiither get there or trail off, it's all good.
But understand that this detatchment is supposed to happen. You can't keep uppin the ante, you can't keep finding the next "Thanos" to build up to over and over again, you gotta have some ability to scale up, down, sideways, tell self contained stories while staying on brand, they're finding their way toward that.
