15 Biggest MCU Blunders of the Last Decade (Give or Take)

The Marvel Cinematic Universe made no sense. Absolutely none, to anyone who knew about movie making. All these movies, characters, working, living, building together – all these creators making these things. Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Iron Man 3, All Hail the King, Agent Carter, Guardians of the Galaxy, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Consultant, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer, The Defenders, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Doctor Strange, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Infinity War, Captain Marvel, Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Wandavision, The Eternals, Hawkeye, Loki, What If?, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Moon Knight. Somewhere in there some bad stuff had to happen. And it did.
