I watched both Dr. Strange and Spiderman recently and neither was especially compelling. Dr. Strange relied on the cameos. The illuminati was then quickly dispatched by Wanda, which made the whole appearance weird. They were supposed to be some of the smartest and most powerful heroes in the multiverse...maybe I just don't find Wanda as the big bad all that compelling.

And yet one of the number one complaints about the current phase is a lack of continuity and cohesive story. People are constantly complaining that the consequences of previous shows/movies aren’t more frequently referenced, like the celestial that’s sticking out of the earth.
I personally think that’s overblown. I don’t need a bunch of references and story ramifications from movie to movie. What they did with the first 3 phases was an achievement but doesn’t need to be replicated every time.
I totally agree that the real weakness this round has been story. Everything marvel has put out has been mediocre at best recently. They need to do better.
