Ryan Gosling is allegedly playing MCU Doctor Doom

Thank you, anon.
The TLDR of my argument is that the "good" era of the MCU came when Feige was forced to cede control/share power with other leadership, including the then Creative Committee and Marvel Entertainment, specifically Ike and Loeb around the time of CW's development. All of the better movies came from a time when he had someone telling him "no", that he couldn't just steamroll through. It was during CW that a lot of things people complain about to death --- the Starkwank, the overtly light and comedic tone, the cookie cutter plot points --- began to diel up eleven, as well as the fact that it becoming abundantly clear that Feige alone is only good at adapting/plagiarizing comic book storylines, not building a coherent cinematic universe that, isn't just a repository for whatever the fuck Marvel Comics arc they're reworking at any given time.

Post CW to IW was pretty sparse anyways, so it was hard to actively fuck up the momentum that had gotten the MCU to that point, but Endgame + the majority of phase 4 sucked because: all of the showrunners/producers have no real power, which means any fuckup is Feige's responsibility, and 2: the whole "MCU as a repository"/"disregard for worldbuilding" shit really began showing with the idea of the snap and its aftermath. With no creative committee, no Ike, pretty much nobody to tell him "No, that's retarded. You can't do this because X", pretty much all of these failures within projects are his fault. There is nobody else. But most people have this bizarre fucking celebrity worship of Feige so they try to shift blame to Alonso, or the writers of WV/FTWS who have no fucking power/control over these scripts.

And instead of reflecting on what went wrong, instead of taking a moment to realize that there is something inherently broken with Marvel Studios' *leadership*, we get stealth marketers like OP who are more determined to shill/astroturf for the next big easter egg/thing and do some A/B testing.
