I get it. I used to joke, every MCU show ends exactly where it started. I mean they really did. They had to make sure it lined up with the next movie they already had planned so it just had to be sorta filler for those wanting to know what happened in-between movies.

Falcon and winter soldier, starts with shield. Gives up shield. Gets back shield and outfit.

Even wandavision was Scarlett witch runs off because vision dead, Scarlett witch runs off in search of new family vision sorta dead.

But I think the new movies are such a mess and no longer planned with desperation high… They are just winging it and letting the shows go somewhere else.

It still all feels like they have a final goal for all the characters in mind they have to hit but it’s definitely better than nothing happening.
