More like a storytelling necessity. Might be asking a lot for people who want to keep up with the Marvel movies - already at 3 films in a year and possibly more depending on what they do with FOX stuff - to also watch a handful of miniseries exclusively found on a streaming service they might not have.

I mean, I could look at the heat Solo got for including a surprise appearance from Darth Maul at the end. People who didn't watch The Clone Wars or Rebels were like "What? What's he doing here? I thought he was dead." Repeating one of Solo's mistakes is not something anyone at Disney is interested in doing.

Especially given this part: Insiders stress the Avengers that have gotten their own movies like Iron Man and Captain America will not be featured in the series with the studios focusing on characters who have served as second tier characters in the MCU. That's basically telling us these things won't be important continuity-wise. If they're leading with Loki and Scarlet Witch, it's because those are the biggest gets. What's the next round of this going to look like? Warriors Three? Howard the Duck?
