After Avengers: Endgame, it was solely a matter of time earlier than the Accords have been repealed, although Agent Woo (Randall Park) no less than referenced them when arresting Director Hayward (Josh Stamberg) in WandaVision. The entire thing was handwaved away in an episode of She-Hulk: Lawyer at Legislation, as Matt Murdock famous that the Sokovia Accords have been now not an element. There are a variety of causes for the Accords to be achieved away with, however taking the large battle from one of the essential MCU motion pictures and simply shrugging it off felt fallacious.
All Out of Kang
After Thanos was such successful, the second trilogy of Marvel phases wanted a giant villain to fill the void. Jonathan Majors’ He Who Stays debuted in Loki, promising a multiversal menace and the horrors of numerous variants of Kang the Conqueror. Across the launch of his antagonistic look in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – which left loads to be desired – Majors was wrapped up in a scandal and trial that put the character’s future in query.
Ultimately, it was determined to scrap plans for Kang, changing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty with Avengers: Doomsday. Whereas the Council of Kangs might presumably play a minor function in Doomsday in some style, as it’s proper now, the mad scientist fraternity is a free finish being plucked out of existence by the TVA they finally created. A letdown if there ever was one, it additionally put a damper on one in every of Quantumania’s excessive factors, the place a confused Scott Lang did his finest to shake the worry that his heroics in stopping his particular Kang someway made issues worse for all of actuality.
The Anti-Skrull Agenda
This one isn’t a lot the results of a nasty artistic follow-up, as it’s the results of unhealthy communication and lack of artistic synergy. Secret Invasion completed up with a slightly darkish ending, the place President Ritson went full-on bloodthirsty when it got here to races of aliens residing amongst people. His anger stoked the fires of the general public’s mistrust in authorities officers being human beings and the entire thing was turning into a multitude. In a special time, in additional competent fingers, this is able to have been a dramatic new established order for the MCU. Being that it was Secret Invasion, thought of by many to be the worst MCU mission, the occasions of this present have been all however ignored by all the pieces that adopted.
This was particularly awkward when The Marvels was launched quickly after. Not solely did it have a a lot simpler answer to the Skrulls’ displacement drawback (simply throw them in New Asgard!), however Nick Fury had a really totally different disposition. As for Ritson’s declaration of warfare in opposition to all off-world aliens, time confirmed it should have been extremely unpopular to the general public. He was changed by Thaddeus Ross (now Harrison Ford), displaying that the American folks would slightly vote for the man who tried to seek out the Hulk and Captain America than the man who claims Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy are enemies of the state.
Monica’s Disdain for Captain Marvel
An fascinating second in WandaVision got here when Monica Rambeau, Jimmy Woo, and Darcy Lewis mentioned Wanda Maximoff’s energy stage and success in combating Thanos. Woo famous that Captain Marvel additionally held her personal within the Endgame finale, to which Monica shut him down, as she didn’t wish to discuss Carol Danvers in any capability. As soon as a little bit lady who appeared as much as her Aunt Carol, Monica got here off as bitter. It arrange a novel dynamic for The Marvels, as Captain Marvel could be working alongside a younger hero who idolized her and a hero who felt let down by her actions.
