10 Ways The MCU Isn't For You Anymore
7. You Feel Like You Missed Something (Even If You Haven't)
Avengers: Age of Ultron begins with Tony Stark battling Hydra despite quitting being a superhero two years prior. Kingpin is a free man in Hawkeye, even though he was imprisoned at the end of Daredevil.
Now, there is no real explanation for these inconsistencies. Because the MCU is juggling a plethora of projects at all times, there's bound to be a couple of plotholes like this.
But any time you notice such irregularities, you can't help but wonder if you missed something. Did the movies explain how Tony Stark can be Iron Man after his arc reactor was removed? Did you misremember or miss what happened to Kingpin?
Sometimes, you might feel like you need to watch a specific film or TV show because it MIGHT clear up a certain plot.
Because Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and What If...? both have a corrupted Sorcerer Supreme, a lot of people assumed the stories are connected. Although this isn't true, you'll be wondering if you're missing something while watching the Doctor Strange sequel if you haven't seen What If...?
If you're second-guessing what's happening while watching any movie, it stops you from fully enjoying it.
