I was really bummed to hear that Born Again was being scrapped (they're going to apparently try to keep some of what they filmed). Some reports say that it bore no resemblance to the Netflix DD series. It also was almost entirely a courtroom drama. The comic it's based on is absolutely brilliant, so I still have hopes that they will repair things.

I enjoyed Secret Invasion, though like many of the Disney + series, it started out great and wasn't quite as great by the end. Still very solid, IMO.

Loki S2 to me has only been 'meh'. Very slow and not much happening.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing The Marvels this weekend. Early reports from fans are that it is a lot of fun.

We saw The Mehvels and it was very mediocre, and downright silly at times, which seems to have become the standard for Marvel these days.

What was the relationship of the Skrulls in Secret Invasion to the ones here? The only way Secret Invasion seemed to be required viewing for this movie was to know why Telos wasn't there, but that wasn't even hinted at. And Fury seemed overly defensive of Carol after dealing with the aftermath of her utter failure to find a home for the displaced Skrulls for almost 30 years, unless the Skrulls in this movie were the Skrulls in the series and that was their new home in this film. It seems the film was written/edited to have no reference to the series at all, a particularly odd choice since the movie had two other TV series characters.

Here are my updated brief reactions to MehCU Phase 4 and 5 so far

MOVIES
Black Widow – good
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – ok
Eternals – bad, near the bottom of MCU's barrel
Spider-Man: No Way Home – good
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – cool concepts wasted on a horror movie, near the bottom of MCU's barrel
Thor: Love and Thunder – ok
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – meh
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – ok
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – bad, the bottom of MCU's barrel or near it
The Mehvels – meh

DISNEY+
WandaVision – first three episodes are entirely skippable – the rest were silly, weird, boring, and meh, until the final episode which was good.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier – good
Loki Season 1 – neat concept but premise is fundamentally flawed, last episode is boring and anti-climactic
What If? Season 1 – first episode is good, the rest are meh
Hawkeye – ok
Moon Knight – very interesting concepts and but overall meh show
Ms. Marvel – meh
I Am Groot - meh
Werewolf by Night – meh
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – got stupider as it went on, final episode was one of the worst things to ever come out with the MCU label.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special – silly
Secret Invasion – meh
Loki Season 2 – meh

We finally finished Loki season 2. It felt like they just put season 1 in a blender, and the outcome is very vague. It didn't at all make me care. Yet another disappointing MCU project.

What If? season 2 begins December 22nd on Disney+. So far, the only MCU TV series slated for 2024 are Echo (Hawkeye antagonist) and Agatha (WandaVision antagonist). The only MCU film slated for next year is Deadpool 3. I am not at all excited about any of these.

It is clear the M in MCU now stands for Meh. I'll probably not post any more new reactions until I have seen What If? season 2 and all three of next year's projects, unless I love any of them.

On one memetic post of top 10 actors to replace Jonathan Majors as Kang the number 1 spot was a photo of Robert Downy Jr in his makeup from Tropic Thunder.

Listening to some pod casts, about the cast list for the upcoming Fantastic four, and hearing that the big bads for this will be silver surfer and Galactus. And the possibility of the main bad from James bond film Skyfall, Javier Bardem for the voice of Galactus..

So who DO YOU think should be Silver surfer if they do this??

They already did those (and Doom) in the pre-MCU F4 films. Don't they have any other villains they can fight instead of shooting the load on the big ones right away?

There have been rumblings that Doctor Doom (arguably Marvel's biggest bad) will be brought into the MCU now, and numerous articles have suggested that they already intended to do this before Majors' legal problems.
