skippable intro/pre-amble:
Not trying to be overly negative, but I honestly wasn’t happy with the overall direction of the MCU since Endgame. At least not until 2025/6.
Discussing this with other fans, I stated that the vast majority of Marvel shows since Endgame were superfluous to the overarching narrative, and someone said “you can’t say that about Loki”
Well, fair. But I still have hang-ups even there, because:
Making all major plotlines into movies and only making seasons out of side plots worked really well for the MCU prior to Endgame.
The feeling of “we have unlimited film at hand” or “people will watch whatever we put out,” seems to have lead to very basic stories in the movies
Disney+ series all follow the same formula. All of them. Maybe Born Again breaks this formula a little, and it’ll be because it underwent major reshoots and rewrites to be more in-line with netflix precursor.
