I’m thoroughly unimpressed with most of the lineup announced. I will probably go to watch ScarJo play Black Widow again, because I like what she’s done with it over the movies, but I’m skeptical of watching a prequel when I know she’s already dead. Same issue with “WandaVision”. I have no interest in movies that take Cap or Thor and give the powers to other people (I know that’s a thing often done in the comic books, but it’s a thing that always bugged me). And most of the new superheroes or superhero teams just leave me very bleh. I predict that saturation levels will quickly be reached. I also predict that the general audiences will fall off as soon as they realize that not everyone can be as good as Robert Downey, Jr. in developing a strong character they care about. ---

I also predict that the general audiences will fall off as soon as they realize that not everyone can be as good as Robert Downey, Jr. in developing a strong character they care about. They still have Black Panther and Captain Marvel, the two highest grossing single character movies. They still have Thor, Spider-man, and GotG too. ---

> [@Asuka](#): > > At this point Disney could literally put a jar of mayo on-screen for two hours that resulted in the deaths of a thousand orphans while filming it but with the right marketing make billions. Well, of course a lot of the money comes from the Avengers branded mayonnaise tie in product sales. And there is a premium - every 20th jar is Hulk green. Come on - you know you’d buy it. ---

I also predict that the general audiences will fall off as soon as they realize that not everyone can be as good as Robert Downey, Jr. in developing a strong character they care about. This has been the prediction for at least half a decade, and yet the movies keep getting MORE popular not less. Both Black Panther and Captain Marvel grossed more by themselves than the first two Iron Man movies together. ---

I also predict that the general audiences will fall off as soon as they realize that not everyone can be as good as Robert Downey, Jr. in developing a strong character they care about. I expect WandaVision to take place after Endgame – Vision will be “resurrected” since he’s a robot (remember in Infinity War, when Shuri started furiously doing something with Vision once she realized she was about to be attacked? I think it’s likely she was downloading his memories.), and then he and a resurrected, Mind Stone-free Vision will go hang out and have adventures. EDIT: According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe_television_series#WandaVision), WandaVision will take place after Endgame. ---

> [@DSYoungEsq](#): > > I’m thoroughly unimpressed with most of the lineup announced. Pretty much how I feel. I’m not proclaiming doom or death for MCU, etc – just saw this lineup and shrugged. I’m not a huge fan of prequels in general and thought Dr Strange was an average MCU movie and won’t watch the subscription-TV stuff. Not familiar with Eternals or Shang-Chi so maybe they’ll wind up being good but I can’t get excited about stuff I know nothing about. ---

I will almost certainly watch the TV movies–possibly via DVR. The others…hmmm…we’ll see when they’re released, but nothing grabs me as “must see” on that list. ---

They’re not TV movies. They’re limited run shows on Disney’s new streaming service. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-mcu-films-announced/837395.md?page=2)
