Had a conversation in another MCU group I'm a member of. I mentioned how both Loki and Black Widow had pretty weak writing and character development all around. They all ganged up on me, because how dare I not enjoy Loki and Black Widow when they were clearly awesome!

When I asked them why they thought these shows were awesome, the responses I got where:

* Because it gave us Kang!
* Because we got female Loki!
* Because we got multiverses now!
* Because they introduced Taskmaster!
* That Throg scene was awesome!
* We got Iron maiden and Red Guardian in the same movie!

And as I'm hearing all their reasons, I started to see a pattern: Do MCU fans no longer care about good writing and character development? Is dropping a number of comic easter-eggs all that's necessary to get MCU fans all hyped up and rate a show a 9/10 or 10/10?

Certainly seems to be the case as of late.

You may call it Easter eggs, but all of that is more universe building. Look at the flip side of that with X-men. They drop so many of that in their movies and it’s just things. There is no universe building when they put in characters from the comics. They are just cameos that has no bearing on anything else. Immortus being there is a big deal for the universe. The multiverse is a big deal going forward.
