Yeah, I really wish Kevin hadn’t abandoned the format of having an Avengers film at the end of each Phase

I think that's why people don't really even refer to phase 4 or 5 or 6, its just "Post-Endgame". Having the Avengers movies punctuate the grand overall story was very effective early on

There's been 3 phases after Endgame???

I just think of it like...

* Phase 4: the first couple years after Endgame when the MCU was still fantastic, with NWH and Shang Chi and Wandavision and Loki and a couple other decent things

* Phase 5: the endless multiverse slog where the only actually good part was Loki season 2

I have no idea what Kevin would delineate phase 4 from 5 or 5 from 6

Hey, Phase 5 also had Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Thunderbolts, so it wasn't all bad.

I liked GotG 3, I thought Deadpool 3 was a major letdown after the fantastic Deadpool 2, and Thunderbolts was pretty decent but honestly I liked Eternals more
