I do believe that people need to realize that MCU Phase 1 buildup to Infinity War/Endgame is the exception rather than the rule.
Catching that lightning in a bottle is highly unlikely to happen again anytime soon.

Even then, the buildup for infinity war didn't even really require you to watch all of the Marvel content, not the same way they are weaving Loki, the Scarlet Witch, Antman, etc.. movies into the buildup.
With the IW stuff, they were tied together by the Teseracts and a few cameo appearances by Thanos. You could probably get away with watching Guardians of the Galaxy (which you should anyways because it's good), a couple of small Youtube clips, and then going straight into IW.
Just feels like the MCU is trying to force too many things. Whether it's heroes that no one really cares about, the multiverse, or having Brie Larsson as a centrepiece, it's a lot.
