Offering reasonable criticism of the MCU in a group of hardcore MCU fans? Rookie mistake!

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.

Research? Looking up a character from a post credit scene is one thing but viewers should never have to “research” characters to appreciate the ending of the damn story. Now, personally I knew who Kang was and was kind of pleasantly surprised to see him. But it still felt like an ad for the next wave of movies rather than an actual finale to the story at hand. This is something the MCU is usually good at avoiding.
