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.
As for the question, I enjoy the Easter eggs, but they aren’t enough to make a movie or show worthwhile. I found all three of the DisneyFlix series to be shallow, poorly written and superficial. I imagine the Kang thing felt random and pointless AF to casual fans who weren’t expecting him or didn’t know who he was.
However, I enjoyed seeing Red Guardian on screen for the kicks of seeing the character join the MCU, but I also thought he was well written (for what little screen time he had) and relevant to the story. He didn’t feel like fan service to me.
Casual fans if not braindead should at least be expected to do some basic research into what they're watching to not feel Kang is random or pointless. This falls into "the idiot jumping on to a bandwagon not knowing what his or her purpose is on this planet" category to me.
