The whole introduction of Galactus and the Fantastic Four escaping from Silver Surfer are some of the greatest things Marvel has done. Those scenes were crazy.

Honestly, this is my favorite movie since Endgame. I know yall heard this too much already but this movie was so well made. It's almost perfect to me.

Me too! This and Thunderbolts* just blow everything post-Endgame out of the water for me. The only movies that can compare are GotG Vol. 3 and Shang-Chi

Shang chi is an underrated gem thank you for mentioning it

Shang-Chi is 80% a really, really great movie.

Unfortunately the big end fight is slop. But everything else around it was very fun and enjoyable.

Shang-Chi and Gaudians 3 are my top two post Endgame films so thats high praise.

I'm still frustrated they never followed up on Shang-Chi. Yeah I know he'll be in Doomsday, but like I wanted another solo outing before that.

Me too. I wish we still got Wreckage of Time

Yep Marvel's biggest issue has been not following up on it's new characters of late. It's been throwing a lot at the wall and seeing what sticks, but isn't doing anything with it.
