Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

Agree that she'll be key, as will likely the impact of the finale of Loki, but as with the movies they've both been written so that a lot has happened behind the scenes to move along the character development however the overall MCU narrative hasn't shifted dramatically for those that missed it - Wanda has always been powerful so how she leveled up further isn't going to be hard to explain when she appears next

On the Loki impact, we've had time travel and variants in Endgame already so it is completely natural. It was really Loki that set up their own strawman that there couldn't be other timelines. Add to alternative universe term the at this stage well known concept of multi-verse and it is easy. Presuming the go the Kang route as the big bad, they won't need the Loki backstory as to why it hasn't been an issue until now.

I don't think Wanda has turned to 'evil' yet but agree on the ease to explain her powers - CCTV footage or simple discussion about what she did to the town. Darkhold can be explained by some asking what the book is and Dr Strange explaining. The kids and White Vision are a bit trickier but a few questions will give enough background for the story to keep moving

I reckon Doc Oc is saying hello to Toby Maguire Peter Parker, and he is just FX'd out of the shot (or they are using a different shot)

Is it feasible they will resurrect black window now that Loki Tv series have given free reign to alternative timelines and universe?

He is just playing the same long game that has been so successful thus far for the MCU. How you avoid burnout for as long as possible is not to hit the public with 'big gun' after 'big gun'. They don't need to go for a home run on every movie.

If they were to use any director to bring FF & X-Men into the MCU it would Sam Raimi for me and have him do it in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

This is in fact exactly what they are doing. The rumor mill (and one I actually trust that may have the inside scoop) suggests that there will be a couple of X-Men cameos in Strange 2 and the multiverse will be used to introduce the Fantastic 4.

I really like the Garfield Spidey movies.

I didn’t like that they were setting up that Oscorp created all the Sinister Six equipment though.

The Rami movies were far too much like the Reeves Superman movies but Alfred Molina was a great villain.

I know about some of the secrets of No Way Home thanks to a blabber mouth a few rows back at Shang-Chi.

It doesn’t make sense to me (yes I know they are fantasy movies) that Peter Parker and other characters can be different people (they did this in the Arrowverse too) but it should be fun.

I’m hoping No Way Home has Parker in the traditional costume and colours. I don’t mind costumes changes and updates for any superhero but I prefer it when Spider-Man or Superman have the traditional look and colours.

I found Garfield's Spider-Man quite unlikeable, almost cocky and the whole thing about his parents being involved in some conspiracy that gave him spider DNA was ridiculous. Sony's desperation to set up their own cinematic universe meant that the movies actually being made suffered massively.
