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.
