Phase 4 looks kinda weak right now but my mind might change . Who knows maybe I ll love The Eternal and Shang-Chi. These are comics that never caught my attention.
Shang-Chi I like in the things I've seen him in but I was never a reader of his regular series. Still, it's Kung-Fu adventure so it should be an easy sell, and the continuation of the "True Mandarin/Ten Rings" saga is just icing.
Eternals I've never really given a hoot about, but if there's one thing the MCU has been good at it's been making me at least a moderate fan of characters I was lukewarm on in the comics.
In short, I suspect Eternals will be just fine, and probably make a lot of people a lot more interested in those characters ala Guardians of the Galaxy.
We do have to remember is that with a lot of Big names gone and the X-Men and F4 still a few years away, we are going to be getting movies which are either sequels or based on second stringers. Still Marvel have already shown what they can do with the likes of GOTG and Ant Man so I don't think it is really a bad thing.

I like what marvel is doing with this fase but I have to say I'm more excited for the series than the movies
I still have my doubts about the direction the mcu is taking for the future but let's see what happens

Oh well, as long as we get some good (non-MCU) figures outta this mess.
I'm afraid these are the kinda "projects" that are gonna keep the MCU figures firmly secured into ML. Neither hide nor hair of a comic based Falcon or Winter Soldier, yet we'll probably see some MCU product (which they've already done) out of it as soon as they possibly can.
The Eternals? I just don't see it. A buncha aging (at one time) A-Listerssigning on to take the MCU into the future? With a franchise that no one knows and is basically defunct in the comics. Not happening.And at what time do you finally give up the ghost and admit Jane Foster Thor was a massive mistake? It was bad for the comics (some might say disastrous) and it will be bad for the MCU. It was just a bad idea, period. Nobody wanted it, very few asked for it and they hadda bring the REAL Thor back to save the comic from the abyss.
I'm on the fence about WandaVision (WTF is that supposed to mean) cuz it's been a solid storyline through the comics. I'll hold out hope, plus I've really grown to appreciate both Olsen an Bettany in their roles.
I'm very interested in Shang Chi and think that it could be what Iron Fist should have been. That's assuming Disney doesn't drive it off the SJW cliff, but it's Disney so......yeah.
WHAT IF?... at first seemed the longest shot to me but after thinking it over I think this could actually have the potential to introduce some wacky and obscure characters to the MCU. Of course that would require them to break thestandard heretofore practice of introducing a single protagonist who chases a single antagonist constantly throughout a 10-13 episode season (ref. any Marvel Netflix series) for a final encounter that nowhere near lives up to the build up of the entire season. Only time will tell, but again, I'll save holding my breath.
Overall this entire line up just seems like one giant reach. It just seems forced and like the biggest gamble in MCU history (short as it may be). It's starting to look like the MCU is losing its way, trying to make something, anything stick until they figure out what to do with X-Men or FF.
i wish we got one more Iron man movie to deal with the ten rings ,it would have tied everything back nicely =/
Phase 4 is wildly different. They werent lying when they said that. All of these films and shows different from each other in almost every aspect. Shang Chi? Dont see how it can fit to everything else marvel has going on. But Im glad theyre doing it.
Wow, talk about good news. I do agree about the new Thor movie though. I believe they made a WHAT IF? story already that had Jane Foster become THORDIS. And I just hope Cottonmouth has the martial arts chops to carry a big role like Blade. Or at least a good fight trainer. For me the WHAT IF's have the potential to be great especially if they use the same MCU actors. Personally I don't mind them using the same actors in other roles. As for the A list stars, its Johnny come lately. Let the new guys have a shot and save some cash in the meantime.
