In your opinion, what MCU projects had the most wasted potential? (infosec.pub)

  • My first pick is "What If...?". In a multiverse of infinite possibilities, we ended up getting the same old same old. We could have gotten a nice, episodic, self-contained anthology series that had nothing to do with the rest of the MCU (as it was originally marketed as) but then they had to go and add a huge, connecting storyline. Not to mention the animation style could have been a bit better.
  • And then there's Secret Invasion, which by all accounts was a complete mess. A lot of people say that this should have been the main story arc of Phases 4 to 6 instead of the multiverse. They could have slowly teased the presence of Skrulls invading Earth (perhaps by revealing that some of the Avengers were Skrulls all along?) and maybe used the plot of Secret Invasion as a feature film instead of a series.

I absolutely loved What If, can’t complain about it.

Secret Invasion was such a wasted potential and a disappointing hot mess.

I saw someone else mention Dr. Strange 2 and I will have to agree. Wanda was always one of my favorite characters from the comics and the way they turned her evil seemed so…weird? It was like there was a plot line going in the WandaVision series but then when it ended there was a missing series we never saw in which she really just said fuck it I’n truly chaotic evil now

I think the Eternals belongs on this list as well.
