Whether you’re a Marvel diehard or lost interest post-Avengers: Endgame, the general consensus is that the MCU is in a tiny bit of a slump at the moment. Now, fans have taken to sharing their ideas online on how to ‘fix’ things from Marvel Phase 5 onwards.
"Slow down on so many new characters. It's just ridiculous that we won't see Shang-Chi again for probably 4-5 years," one said on Reddit.
"Why don’t they crossover the hero characters more like they did in earlier phases?" one Redditor wrote. "Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and Winter Soldier. Hawkeye in Thor. Hulk and Strange in Ragnarok. Falcon in Ant-Man. Lots of them in Civil War."
"Quality writing," was the blunt response of another. "Like we don’t need award winning scripts or anything but my god Secret Invasion has so many logical gaps and poor decisions in it."
Others have also pointed to the sheer amount of projects being released as a reason for the downturn in fortunes for Marvel Studios – including the fact that Sam Wilson won’t have appeared as Captain America for 23 MCU movies and shows by the time he returns in Brave New World. For context, that’s the same as the entire Infinity Saga put together.
That bloat was neatly summarized by one user: "Don’t plan the thing unless you have a story that justifies its existence."
Then there’s the Blip in the room. Thanos’ snap seemed to come and go. Many, as they do here, argue that Marvel Phase 4 should have revolved around the debilitating effects of the universe-halving event.
"Phase 4 should have been all about the effects of the Blip and introducing the multiverse with a different order than what we got," a fan commented, adding "There needed to be an Avengers movie to wrap up the Phase."
Unfortunately for disgruntled Marvel fans, it appears the MCU won’t be course correcting any time soon.
Multiple new characters, including Fantastic Four, are being introduced while other stories – Echo and Agatha: Coven of Chaos included – feel like epilogues to established (and finished) stories. We’re also not getting an Avengers movie, for example, for another three years – seven years after Endgame.

The problem with some PC games is that technology is constantly improving. As a result, there’s more room for developers to push the limits with their games. So, it can leave some players having to adjust the settings of current video games to match the capabilities of their PC. But if you’re planning on Starfield being more accessible on older hardware, you might be out of luck. Instead, the optimization for Starfield on PC was done, but it’s also meant for modern hardware.
Bethesda's Todd Howard and Xbox head Phil Spencer have been on the interview circuit for the launch of Starfield, as part of which the pair granted an interview to Bloomberg Technology. While the questions have a more general business focus and veer into things like Game Pass and the Elder Scrolls 6 (no new info), the show starts with Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow rather starkly putting an audience question to Howard: «why did you not optimise this game for PC?»
It’s a weird time to be a fan of superhero storytelling in the U.S. On the one hand, it’s still the dominant genre of many of the biggest films and TV shows being made by major Hollywood studios. On the other, most of the superhero fare that has actually made it to a big or small screen near you in the last few years has been uninspired, predictable, and more interested in not pissing anyone off than becoming someone’s favorite story.
Although has spoken about potentially returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actress recently said that she also needs other characters besides Scarlet Witch.

Iman Vellani, star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Ms. Marvel TV series and November’s The Marvels, knows a thing or two about being a teenage, Muslim, superhero-loving nerd who is suddenly rocketed into fame and public expectation alongside the folks she once admired from afar.
Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon came out to receive massive critical acclaim. That’s neat but nowadays even a great game will only enjoy long-lasting success if it has the backing of an equally great community. Luckily, not even a full week after its release, the mechs we’ve seen from the Armored Core 6 community has already proven that it’s filled to the brim with talent and the will to come up with, uh, very “innovative” AC designs.
Armored Core 6 has a wide range of impressive customization options, letting you attach and remove different weapons and parts to create your perfect build. This freedom also translates to the game's cosmetic customization, as Armored Core 6 includes tools that allow you to paint and create emblems of whatever you please. Just 24 hours after launch, fans of the title are already using them to their fullest to create some truly ridiculous ACs.
