Marvel: There’s a method to what seems to be the MCU’s madness
By Mark Lynch
Marvel projects for everyone
In Marvel Comics, there are dozens of different stories going on at the same time. Sometimes there are a few major crossovers while other comics have smaller tales. The X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers are three of the best teams in Marvel Comics. Each of them has at least one crossover going on a year. Sometimes all of them come together. Right now, A.X.E.: Judgment Day involves the Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals. This one will have stories across most of their universe. Unlike Reckoning War (a Fantastic Four crossover) that did not. This is what’s going on in the MCU.
Just like the stories in the comic book, not every movie and show is going to be connected. As much as fans would like this, it doesn’t make sense for them to.
Moon Knight has a connection to the Avengers, but he wouldn’t work with Ms. Marvel? They’re drastically different characters. Daredevil appearing in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law makes sense. They’re both lawyers and street heroes. However, She-Hulk working with the Guardians of the Galaxy wouldn’t. At least not right now. What’s happening is parts of the universe branching off. This move will save moviegoers a lot of time and money. Now, they’ll only have to see the projects they’re interested in.
