Great storyline IF we didn't know Robert Downey Jr wasn't playing Doctor Doom. That would be perfect. A storyline could have been made to assume he was Tony Stark without anyone actually calling him Tony.

But now .... we as the audience KNOW who he is and that Doom is a bad guy. We the audience knowing this takes the wind out of everything as we would know something the characters on screen ... don't. That makes for horrible audience viewing.

The show was GREAT until the writer's strike hit between season 1 and season 2. Once that happened it barely recovered the intensity of season 1.

Many character arcs after season 1 were destroyed with incoherency and needless deaths of characters.

Many people stuck with the show in pre Hulu and Netflix days because there was nothing like it during the appointment TV time.

Sorry buddy, both Caps are two of my favorite MCU heroes but neither of them would be able to hold off an attack from Dr. Strange, Scarlett Witch, Vision, nor Captain Marvel. They're at the bottom of any power ranking list against any MCU hero, Ms. Marvel and Ant Man in giant form included.

I think Marvel's problem is not what you think it is. I believe it's fatigue. Not superhero fatigue, but fatigue over the same type of hero power set. And the ones who don't share the same power set aren't compelling characters due to how they're written, with exceptions such as Daredevil, Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Shang Chi, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Wolverine

We have the super soldier set, the person in a suit set, and the specially trained individual set, and of course the Hulk set.

Marvel comics have a plethora of characters in their portfolio that whose back stories and powers would be blockbusters if they stop with the same ness.

Characters I speak of such as Northstar and Aurora from Alpha Flight, Blue Marvel, Wonder Man, Moon Knight, Blade, and others need to be brought into the forefeont. The MCU seemingly only considers Avengers and X-Men characters and their s when there is so much more to capitalize on what is existing while adding fresh and new

Think of it realistically. Literally the only ones who could have helped Wanda through her grief were Sam and Clint. And eventually their attention was diverted to ther matters.
