Logan - Great send off for a legendary character, and after over 10 years in the X-men franchise they gave Wolverine the send off he deserved. The teamwork dynamic between Charles Xavier, Logan and Laura Kinney is just beautiful. Laura helps when she needs to help and doesn't appear when she isn't needed. Logan's death is by far the saddest death in Marvel and I would even rank it above Tony Stark from the MCU. 100/10
X-Men - The second best X-men movie. Logan and Rouge's relationship dynamic is excellent and even though I thought Iceman and Rogue's relationship was cringey they made it somewhat work. Senator Kelly becoming a Mutant and learning what it is like being constantly harassed by the Human Race but his Death did give me nightmares for weeks. Overall 10/10 movie.
X-men the last stand is overhated in my opinion. It's not the best way to go about the Phoenix saga but it did it better then the Dark Phoenix plus compared to Apocalypse and the Wolverine, it's the best one and her death did make me cry when Wolverine clawed her through. 7.9/10.
Squirrel Girl isn't really worth a show unfortunately and I cant really see it happening but I wouldn't be shocked if she appears in a cameo in The Kang Dynasty, Secret Wars, Loki S2, or any movie/show that deals with the Multiverse.
Kamala and Carol's powers are both Cosmic, that's enough to piss off many comic fans. I personally don't think it's the end of the world that they retconned her powers but it isn't necessary. Take's me back to the time the Marvel Fandom freaked out when they retconned Beyonder.
I never really was a huge Ms. Marvel fan as I didn't really love the character, but I do agree her embiggening powers were better. She is just a budget Captain Marvel in her series, at least in the comics she had a solid structure in which I think is great, she will never be a cosmic superhero but she can at least save the average joe with her powers. She is meant to represent the more human side of heroes.

@RangerPhetty I hope they make Phyla-Vell a character in the MCU to be honest, that would be pretty cool.
Getting back on topic, the 'M-She-U' isn't quite a good word, but Marvel does need to fix some stuff.
@Miya deen Monica became Captain Marvel after Mar-Vell's death in the comics for a while before it was passed on to Karla Sofen, Genis-Vell, a few other people and then Carol (It may have been retconned so take it with a grain of salt.)
^Exactly
Carol Danvers's Captain Marvel was actually one of my favorite characters in the comics and I was annoyed for a long time when Monica took the role as Captain Marvel before they eventually gave it to Carol. They should've done a character like Carol way better and give her more struggles and emotions, and keep the fact she is literally half Kree through her mom, because the blood transfusion one is lame compared to having Carol as a real badass hybrid.
Wonder Woman II only failed because of its writing. For Captain Marvel, I do have a bias but my bias shouldn't cloud my judgement. The movie was not great, but after rewatching it, it wasn't as bad as I remember, still not great, but not horrible. People hate Black Widow for other reasons then the Taskmaster sex swap, the villain was really really silly, like all Natasha had to do is plug her nose, she didn't need to literally sever a nerve. Plus there are many scenes that are really over the top, but my biggest problem with the film was the lawsuit and how badly it was handled, but if you enjoyed this film, good for you.
Ms. Marvel was pretty bad, she did not deserve to be the first mutant, they changed her powers for no reason and replaced it with bad cgi, and Marvel is trying to cater to people who don't watch marvel and completely ignoring their own fanbase (I don't want to say Marvel doesn't care about their og fanbase, but they aren't really adding stuff og marvel fans would adore as much as they are adding stuff non-marvel fans and 12 year old girls would love)
She-Hulk for me is a lost cause, she is one of my favorite characters in the comics and she was a lot cooler in the comics, but the show is already aired, and 1-999999 Jen is completely unlikable.
Grow up guys, just because @BashengaTheFirst posted a joke doesn't mean he hates women, plus the video was true and funny af.

Hot take: Sorta... but M-She-U isn't the best term
I'm not an Andrew Tater and I am trying to stay away from the term M-She-U after LaT and NWH. However a lot of the points named on this thread are downright shitty.
In the 21st century, it's getting harder and harder for films to sly away from politics, social culture, and recent invents (And in no way is that bad. The boys, a series that I really loved has several references to social culture and politics) and I do think that for a while, people were pretty annoyed the only major female characters they were getting were Wanda Maximoff, Natasha Romanoff, Jean Grey, Storm, and they were usually not the selling point of the film.
Even though Wanda and Quicksilver's first appearance(s) was in AoU, I think the selling points of the film were Iron Man and Ultron, and Wanda was only really considered a very important character when WandaVision happened. Jean Grey (In both the Original and Revised Universes) was just another X-men member who appeared in X-Men: Apocalypse and wasn't even one of the most popular members only popped off after that awful Dark Phoenix movie.
Kevin Feige did say in an interview that he wanted more female characters than male. Which is a hard issue to counter or defend. The majority of people who watch marvel are men and that's why they didn't introduce Black Widow before Iron Man, or why Captain Marvel was introduced after Captain America. But it wouldn't be a fair argument to say there shouldn't be many female characters because there are many female marvel characters whom I'd love to see in live action. So it's a shady area when it comes to the Marvel Fandom.
I do agree there are unneeded female characters just as there are unneeded male characters. Marvel keeps creating more characters that a lot of the audience isn't really liking. Plus the constant sex swapping and new character adding when it isn't necessary. Take Shang-Chi's sister Xu Xialing, a character created by the MCU. Anyone who has read the Master of Kung Fu issues knows he already has a sister, (In fact many) and I don't know why they added this new character. Also in Moon Knight, they for some reason made Marlene Alraune Egyptian and named her Layla and gave her the mantle of the Scarlet Scarab, which is a male character. To be fair I was less bothered by giving Layla then mantle of the Scarlet Scarab because the Scarlet Scarab was less known anyway.
My answer: Who knows? I don't exactly like the direction Marvel is going into, but I just hope we get some good characters and movies no matter the sex. Phase 4 wasn't really good, but it did have its highlights that I enjoyed. So I do think it's to early to judge it after seeing some good sparks happening in P4.
Klaw, at least he defeated Molecule Man.
Indeed, and I cant wait to be proven right on the release date.
I can quite see what they are going to do actually, it's modern day Marvel owned by Disney, it shouldn't be that hard to see what Marvel is doing with beloved characters.
At least in the comics they had emotional tipping points, like Wrecker who was abused by his family, his father died young and his mom had to support him. Even if your character is supposed to be funny, you need a character to be serious sometimes if you want the audience to be invested.
As many people say, it's the MCU owned by Disney, of course they look silly, I am honestly surprised that you are surprised.
