A "multiverse" is great tool for writers because you can just regurgitate the same sludge over and over again with slight changes and maximum fanbait,

Agreed. It's why the American comic book industry will always be worse than the Japanese. They aren't allowed to experiment as much and figure out new tropes. At least, if they care about the story being told. If they don't, it's SJW comics where no one really cares about what they're making.

It's really sad that this piece of crap features Chadwick Boseman's final performance.

I think it actually looks neat, but we'll see how good the writing quality is when it comes out. Loki has been a considerable improvement for now.

Or there's zombies. The T'Challa as Ego's son instead of Peter is kind dumb because it's pretty much the same thing, except I bet there won't be a T'Challa and Gamora romance.
It's possible the only interesting ones are the zombie superheros and Dr. Strange's mostly because I can't tell what his is about. And how egotistical for Peggy to call herself Captain Carter instead of Captain Britain.

There can be good alternate universes and they come if the writer actually thinks of a logical conclusion to a change in a small event, basically a butterfly effect. While a bad AU just jumps to the result of "Our Universe but everyone is X" without sticking to the characters and their backstory or mentality. To the point those characters have nothing to do with the originals.
A good example is Superman Red Son. A bad AU would have just had Superman as an evil commie, but instead it shows it's the same core of Superman that was raised by a different system of values that made him care less about the individual and more about the collective.

I think it's the fact that the both of you are so bootyblasted over me trying to undermine your efforts in The Great War of Our Culture 2014- ?
Don't worry when Black Widow collapses with a sub 60 million opening weekend I'll be shown whose boss yet again, just like with Last of Us 2!
The animation looks awful. It's like that weird era when people were just figuring out cell-shading on 3D animation.

Saw Black Widow today. It's okay, I guess. Don't have much to say about it beyond that.
I'm guessing that Taskmaster is a cooler character in the comics, because I know he's a fan favorite who comic fans have wanted to see in a movie for a long time. They must have botched it because Taskmaster is a non-character in this movie. He's like Winter Soldier in his first movie, but without the stuff that made him interesting.
The villains sucked in general. The main villain is some old, fat Russian guy who barely appears until the third act, and non-character Taskmaster.
There was also some fucking little kid screaming through the whole thing. Aren't you so glad theaters are back? I can't blame kids for getting agitated. This is possibly the most boring Marvel movie ever for children.

That's been the problem with the MCU for the past 5+ years. None of it's bad, it's all decent enough, but they released so many that it all blends together into a bland mush.

This one felt particularly half-hearted.
They didn't even do the animated pre-credits sequence before the real end credits like they usually do.

I agree. Taskmaster is awful in the movie. They did him so fuckin dirty.
Fuck Disney. He is one of my favorite villains.

It was so uninspired. It was such a blatant attempt to Xerox Captain America: Winter Soldier. I feel like Marvel must be running out of steam if they're gonna blatantly steal plots from their previous movies like this.
Either that or they just threw this movie together out of some obligation, and to make people stop saying they did Black Widow dirty by never giving her her own movie.

This movie was to set up Yelena, who will clearly be a big player (as big as one's going to be in a post "long-term deal", anyway). It probably would have been a show had they realized ahead of time there was going to be such a gap in time between intended release and actual release.

Taskmaster was handled much better in Insomiac Games' Spider-Man on PS4 and he was part of the side content.

Always takes me by surprise when that guy jumps you. Speaking of, Insomniac does a lot of great stuff character-wise. Doc Ock is basically perfect and Yuri as Peter is fantastic.

And I wonder how the fuck Elaine Benes knows that Hawkeye was somewhat involved in Natasha's death.
It's really vague in this universe what people who aren't the Avengers know about certain events.
Like, how did the characters in Wandavision know that Wanda almost killed Thanos? Do the Avengers talk to reporters? Or write up reports for Shield that get released to the public?

There's this running gag in the movie about a vest with lots of pockets.
I just now learned that it's the vest she wears in Infinity War.
Wow, that beats out even the spectacularly unnecessary "origin" for the bat signal in Batman Begins.
It's like that joke that Red Letter Media made about how Disney is gonna make an entire movie about how Han Solo got his boots or some shit.

That was dumb, but it's not the worst "origin" that's been in a Disney movie this year.
