My wife and I thought The Eternals was a stumble towards the bottom of the barrel. This movie proves it's on purpose. Sam Raimi barely watched WandaVision to direct this, couldn't be bothered to watch 8 hours of TV from the people footing this multi hundred million bugdet film.

Character plots are badly handled, so many moments where the script breaks established laws of the MCU. The world building is either so thin or so distorted it's like watching Star Wars 8 all over again. Please Disney, stop turning respected properties into garbage fires. Doctor Strange was praised by critics and amateur video essayists. Avengers Infinity Wars proved you can write super heroes movies and write them properly. Make bank and provide quality entertainment.

Phase 1-2-3 was built on folowing the thread of what was made before. So far none of the shows or movies tie in to anything else phase 4. Loki's Kang should be all over the place by now. Where's Shang Chi, didn't Wong get him earlier?

Asking for continuity trhoughout movies is a lot, I know but this movie cant keep up from the previous movie for which it is a sequel, let alone scene from scene Strange's cloak will fly him 100 m in the air but can't hold him upright while he's fainting? Wasn't it fighting bad guys on its own in the first movie? Did the people making this film alsk not watched that movie. I'm not a comics diehard nitpicker, i just like narrative's that are consistent and hold together, especially at the price point of this media property.
