[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 313827, member: 23"] Having Ant-Man and Wasp would also have echoed the original line-up from the comics which might have been a nice touch. I know what you mean about Natasha and Clint being sidelined. They were the only two of the original MCU Avengers not introduced in their own films - both began as supporting players in other franchises - and I suppose that puts them on the back foot to begin with. From the little I've seen I get the sense that both are very popular characters with the audience and it's surprising that it took this long for them to get their own vehicles. Definitely. If there's one character I'd want removed from the film it's this one. He just didn't work for me at all. Interesting, and I certainly agree with this based on the examples you've given. I'll try to bear this in mind as I continue watching Phase Four. I'm really looking forward to Hawkeye now, and it seems there'll be lots to discuss when I get there. I did briefly consider skipping [I]What If...? [/I]entirely or watching it further down the line since by very definition it's non-canon. But if the MCU has taught me anything it's that there are often little Easter eggs to enjoy from watching them in order so I'll bite the bullet. That leaves the question of whether I watch [I]Shang-Chi[/I] after Episode Four (in strict release date order) or watch the entire first [I]What If...?[/I] season first. I'm open to suggestions.
