For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don't think it's excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn't advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

Anything fourth wave Marvel, people were done after infinity wars and just shit on anything since because it's too much nerddom on their systems. I still loved she-hulk but people didn't.

She Hulk is great! What did you think of Moon Knight? I'm glad the MCU has not one but two confirmed plural superheroes!

A superhero for whom there's more than one person in their head. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are a plural system, and so are Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Jake Lockley. Although Banner and Hulk have integrated into a single personality by the time of Endgame. In She Hulk, Bruce is actually really surprised that Jen isn't plural. I guess in the MCU he hasn't realised that his plurality is caused by being beaten by his father like in the comics. He thinks his plurality is caused by gamma radiation up until Jen turns into a hulk but isn't plural.

Gotcha thanks for the explanation!

Moon Knight's arc dealing with a fictive alter is great, but I'd be even happier with the MCU's handling of plurality if there were an endogenic superhero. An endogenic system is one that wasn't formed by trauma. A lot of people in the plural community, called sysmedicalists, think plurality can only be a mental disorder. I'd like it if the MCU was brave enough to include a counterexample to this belief.

She-Hulk was fun for me, but not amazing or anything. Same with Hawkeye. Ms Marvel was just too Gen Z for my millennial ass. Loki was amazing and I'm interested in where Moon Knight is going. Wandavision managed to have almost no rewatch value and Mulitverse of Madness was all over the place. Overall, I feel like the current wave just lacks direction. It's theoretically building to Kang as the new villain, but it doesn't really feel like it's actually going anywhere and they're still introducing new lead characters, so there hasn't been much teaming up or plot convergence. There's been a lot of stuff with a lot of new and returning characters, but it doesn't feel like we're anywhere close to a new Avengers movie.

Secret Invasion had me close to hanging up my MCU fan hat. The Marvels is the first movie I didn't catch in the theater, but then I watched it on streaming and it really reminded me why I love the franchise so much. It's got its pacing issues and the first 30 minutes are clearly the swiss cheese left after some heavy revisions, but it's just so fucking fun, and Iman Vellani is goddamn delightful.

X-Men '97 manages to hit all the good nostalgia notes from the old TV series while getting me excited for what comes next, and I'm going back and re-watching Agents of SHIELD now. I thought I remembered Season 1 being kinda humdrum before the Hydra twist, but it's fun seeing all of Ward's plot beats knowing what is coming.
