Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

The decision to end the Black Widow film with choosing to connect the narrative dots with her getting the Quinjet instead of the sequence with the kids playing hero exemplifies choosing story over character to me and I feel like they have made similar choices since then

I never saw the point of that. I just assumed they were using the one Steve and Bucky took in Civil War. Didn't need that cleared up.

had such potential to be an interesting look at grief

If I see one more Marvel movie taking an interesting look at grief, I'll flip a desk.

I guess I haven't noticed that pattern? But suppose it is there.

I'll clarify, I think of Thor as the most "operatic" of the Marvel heroes, given the myths and how we was written by Stan at the start as vaguely Shakespearean and so on. Of all the characters, going the more serious route would have made sense to me - especially for Ragnarök and Love and Thunder. I don't mean wallow in grief, but both the villain and the hero in L&T deal with major losses, yet that combines to form a happy ending and a future.

@fac, yeah, I think the worst thing to happen to the Thor franchise was the discovery that Chris Hemsworth was funny.
