This is true - I don't rememeber which issue but when Thomas took over, and Wanda's powers began coming back, there was an issue where she thought to herself not to tear herself up over losing her children, and one part of her thought was "that way lies madness". She was actively trying to cope with the loss though and also helped keep watch over Julia Carpernter's daughter as a way to help work through the grief. You are right, she did recover her memories and was working through it. That's way Bendis' sucks even more. He simply ignored continuity - long established continuity - to get his story. He just pulled it from his ass to get what he wanted. Ofc doing that we got a total piece of crap and she went missing for a decade in comics as a result.
No crying. It's also beyond a commercial success- when you approach a billion that's a mega success. It is what it is and it's now cannon. She's hugely popular now so let's have them get her back on the hero track and get her own movie doing it. I'll take that. It has to be imho looked at from the perspective now of- okay that's done so where from here for forward progression? She has become mega popular and lots of great merchandise. Elizabeth acted the hell outta the role and looked stunning. The next steps are crucial for her character's evolvement. I'm hoping the 953+ million gets her the solo and Children's Crusade films with Schaeffer writing.

Didn't Wanda and Vision have the least amount of screen time of all the MCU heroes up until Endgame? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere, so I'm TOTALLY fine with Lizzie getting more now. I remember talking to a friend of mine about the Disney Plus Marvel shows a couple of years ago, and she did NOT remember who Wanda was at all. So she definitely got more famous in 2021/2022. I personally think Marvel Studios are stretching themselves thin. They really need to follow a core 3-5 characters, tell good cohesive story with each of them, and get audiences invested in those core characters. They’re introducing way too many characters way too early. They have to follow the same structure as they did when the began this whole thing in my view. That would gin up more interest in the Young Avengers and Thunderbolts or whatever. And they would still make plenty of money.
Pick up Wednesdays Hellfire Gala special for Wanda’s next appearance. She looks amazing.

Wow! That low?! That's near Dark World levels (a movie that I actually liked by the way). So I can assume that Disney/Marvel isn't even trying anymore with their movies. I was hoping that the MCU would do Jane Foster justice. I really like Natalie Portman, and I was hoping her character would be "redeemed" somewhat in Love & Thunder. I think that whole Aaron story with Jane and her struggle with cancer could actually have made Thor 4 into one of the best MCU properties. To be honest, I had my doubts about Marvel doing a Thor 4 in the first place. The odds of Love & Thunder surpassing Ragnarok in quality were pretty much nil in my opinion. I know my opinions are kind of unpopular among MCU stans, but I REALLY think it's getting time for the MCU to retire the Thor and Loki characters. How many times does Thor have to go on these journeys of self-discovery (losing his hammer(s) and then getting new ones)? I feel like Hemsworth probably has done all he can with the character. I feel the same way about Loki. He has already reconciled with his father and brother. I don't see the need to drag on his story for even longer (even though I really like Hiddleston in the role). The MCU is basically just using Hiddleston's popularity to promote the TVA and I'm not really interested in that. I don't hate Phase Four. I don't think it's "woke" or anything like that. I'm just bored. Sure Disney is making lots of money through their Marvel/Star Wars properties, but don't you think Feige and Chapek are a little bit embarrassed that their movies are getting their worst reviews by fans and critics alike in the last little while? I usually don't give a shit about what fans and critics have to say (I really like the Incredible Hulk, Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3 and Thor 2), but I think Disney should be a little bit concerned about the reception to their latest movies (not just commercially). Marvel's films have made a lot of money in the past couple of years (I'm not arguing against that). But it's also ABSOLUTELY true that many of these very same movies have had MASSIVE drop-offs after their opening weekends. That never happened that often in the first three phases. I feel a good measure of a film's quality depends on the drop-offs because that determines if they have "legs" or not. I know it's not entirely a fair comparison because the MoM is now available on Disney Plus, but Everything Everywhere All At Once made more money in theaters than Doctor Strange 2 did during the July 4th weekend. I feel that the MoM and Thor 4 are TENTPOLE movies for the MCU and I'm not sure they're delivering like they should. Just my opinion.
I don't know how Feige and Co feel about it. I'm sure they'd prefer better reviews. But as far as how the movie really is, I'll have to wait until I see it.
Disney will be pleased with how much money they are raking in though and will still want more movies. How people feel about them is up to them.
I don't think I'd consider MoM or Thor 4 tentpole for the MCU. Maybe for Phase 4. But you also have Spider-man that did pretty good.
Love is for souls, not bodies.
I am a Marvel fan preferably cosmic storylines, especially Thanos or Dark Phoenix related, when both the Avengers and the X-Men are involved count me in, loved the original Uncanny Avengers series.
Not a fan of any of the new characters.

Not that we didn't know it already, but damn, that leak from last August really was spot on.
