Are MCU fans only after easter-eggs nowadays?

I agree and disagree.

I haven’t seen Black Widow, but I really liked Loki. I thought it was really fun and the time variation idea was really cool. I also thought it was a well-paced story leading to a big moment at the end - which is something a lot of MCU projects are missing. They all just kinda seem to end without any real relevance to the past or present.

Loki was also poorly written in his own show. The cameos and Easter eggs were also excessive. At the end of the show, all that it really did was setup the female Loki to be a new big player and Kang as the new big baddie for other projects.

This is also an issue plaguing Star Wars. The Bad Batch has been reduced to cool cameos that attach to other past projects or setup new ones. I loved Mandalorian S2, but a lot of that was there too. The immediate impact and focus of the actual story within the one show is there, but it feels like an after thought to making fans enjoy a small cameo or Easter egg.
