    That is like this Ghost Rider variant except with a horse instead of a donkey and a motorcycle instead of a surfboard: https://tinyurl.com/Ghost-Rider-MCU

    That's the whole point of the multiverse saga; they're going to kill all other universes and squish them into one timeline. The Fox properties are the impetus behind this. At the same time the soft-reboot the existing MCU so they can recast characters. In two years it will all be one big happy family.

    Of course, time travel and multiverses are staples of sci-fi storytelling (which the Marvel comics are at their core), so you're always going to have to deal with it to some degree.

    Frankly, with the way they've managed things post-Endgame, they should let the continuity fracture rather than funnel All the Things into Feige. The man('s commitee) is overwhelmed and like good ol 60's Soviet Planning, it gave out to 70's complexity when its people got a little richer and wanted more choices.

    Just spread the money all over the place and then spend 150M+ on an acceptable sequel rather than hiring these random directors to helm 250M+ projects before the reshoots...

    Once the continuity is there, the blueprint is already devised by the comics. They have continuity experts that vet everything to make sure it either fits together or doesn’t interrupt a big overarching storyline. There’s no need for one person to run it all. Indeed, that becomes a bottleneck.

    If they find people who were passionate about the material like they did the first 5-7 years, I think they'll be alright.

    It wasn't all great (Ben Kingsley trolling as the Mandarin ) but at least it felt like the creators wanted to see stuff they saw on paper feel the same way in live action.

    silver surfer with the same problems as the 2000s version. the cgi looks it's stuck in the 90s and the animation moves like gumby.
