It had been so long since I'd heard "Cult of Personality" that when it kicked in at the climax of W&W it was a complete moment of joy. Agree that it has more stuffing than engine, but enjoyed it.

Welcome to Middling Day at The Reveal! Of these, the one I’m prioritizing is Wendell & Wild, largely because I can call it up on demand without having to block out three and a half hours (counting travel to and from the theater) to watch it. Wakanda Forever has plenty of hype behind it, but I also know I’ll be able to see it in the comfort of my home in a matter of months.

"Wakanda Forever is an overextended, narratively clunky MCU entry, one laden with subplots, digressions, and characters squeezed into its expansive running time to serve the needs of the overarching MCU film-and-TV project rather than the needs of the story. "

I'm really hoping to watch some of these as fan edits that remove the chaff and let us just enjoy the core story.
