Yeah it's easy for something to be canon when there are absolutely 0 consequences and an infinite number of universes so they can retcon anything they want later
Iron Man's snap ended my interest
Exactly how I felt. I knew it was heading towards multiverse stuff, but it ruins any impact of any action that the characters take. Sure Ironman might’ve snapped himself into death in that universe, but there’s infinite hims so who cares? Multiverse writing for any fandom is a mistake
Retcon, recast, revisit, pivot to standalone stories, nothing "matters" anymore. It might have gone better if they'd used it more sparingly, but leaning in has made it exhausting, and I say that as someone who still generally gets around to seeing things and doesn't hate them. It definitely reduced my senses of urgency and engagement though. They took too many lessons from the comics and made their stories feel less like events and more like things you'll catch up on when you're bored.
