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.
