I'm a pretty big MCU defender and I thought I was bad, even if you forgive them for being boring, it hurt the overall narrative of the MCU. I like the Eternals, I like the Ant-Man series, hell I even really enjoy Hawkeye. But I think fundamentally they need to stop dipping there toe in water that requires so much ret-conning.

I think I mentioned it here before, but I think the MCU was in the perfect position to do a current timeline Secret Invasion, and instead they changed 25 years of known history.

Story should have been something to the effect of;
1995 - Cpt Marvel and The Skrulls leave C-53 with light speed engine
2018 - Nick Fury pages them and they come back.
2018 - Half the people on Earth are missing, so the Skrulls assume famous/powerful identities
2023 - People return, and Skrulls self-justify kidnapping them to cover up the past 5 years, and continue their project of occupying earth.
2024 - Rumors are swirling about weird things that happened with these people the day of the un-blipping, in steps Nick Fury to investigate who because disappointed in is old Friend Talos when he discovers what has happened.

Short term, contained to it's own time-line, woven into the pre-existing stories instead of re-writing them.

I really fear what they are going to do to justify that Magneto, Xavier and Wolvernie are 90 years old and have existed in the MCU all along, when really what the current story demands is that mutation is a new problem that has quietly been bubbling under the surface for 25 years since people now in their 40s became teenagers.
