Just finished tonight’s episode - here is what I’m trying to wrap my mind around…


WTF is Marvel/Disney doing with all of these other shows not named WandaVision? I mean, Hawkeye wasn’t bad, but it was nothing special, a passing of the torch story. Falcon and the Winter Soldier had great potential but was ultimately a waste. MoonKnight fizzled out pretty quick. She Hulk, eh, maybe I’ll give it a pass because the very origin of how that story came to be in the comics means it should never be taken serious, but that begs the question: why spend the money on a series? Ms Marvel I’ve not watched and not planning to from the reviews I’ve read on it here. Secret Invasion was a dud.

So the question is: was all the big money for writing spent on WandaVision and Loki? Are those the only two shows that anyone at M/D cares about? Loki took a very solid first season and to this point is absolutely killing it in the second. It just obvious that while these two series are part of advancing a larger story like the other series, they are doing so with serious thought and care. I just don’t understand how you take two series and throw all kind of TLC into them and sleepwalk through all the others. And maybe that is not by design, maybe those in charge of those other stories had a vision that they thought fit the world created to this point and were just mistaken. I don’t know. What I do know is that the difference in storytelling between WV and Loki and all the others is a night and day difference.

Also, as a heads up, I started typing this out as the credits started rolling, and as I am busy putting my thoughts to digital paper I let them run all the way through, past all of the foreign language credits to the VERY end… there is a short end of credit audio piece within the last 10-15 seconds or so. It made no sense to me but, it is there. Frankly it frustrates me, because now I feel like I need to go back and check the very end credits of all the other various Marvel series episodes.
