Either they've realized they need to restablish that intimately emotional connection between the characters and audience they had before they spread themselves way too thin and this is pure genius.
... or...
They've doubled down on shock value for shock value's sake, nothing is sacred, and they're gonna butcher the one golden goose they have, nostalgia.

I suppose it could go either way or perhaps even be a little of both, but with the Russo's being at the helm, I have hope that it won't be a complete disaster. Plus, I think the premise is intriguing now that the multi-verse makes something like this possible.

My issue with the multiverse is that, like time travel, it tends to make the stakes feel much lower because there are no permanent consequences. Granted, this isn't always the case (take Jet Li'd [i]The One[/i] for example... then again with the hero's ending... yeah, kinda), but it's especially true with DC / Marvel.

Edited by jmann43b: 7/28/2024 8:10:49 AMAs a Whovian I'd have to disagree; even for a Time Lord there are some things that simply can't be undone. In the MCU for example, as far as we know Black Widow is still dead because using time travel to undo that would undo Thanos's defeat. So, some things remain permanent. Of course, there will always be alternates from parallel universes (can we just call them "verses," since there's clearly more than one?) like in 'Deadpool and Wolverine' but I think that just comes with the comic-book territory. Plus, the multi-verse allows Marvel the potential to undo some of the damage done with other films featuring characters like the Fantastic Four. Galactus will evidently appearing in the new movie, and not as a stupid cloud this time either, so there's a plus too. On a side note, I had so much hope for 'The One' but sadly, I think it was less than it could've/should've been.
