Part 7/10:
Instead of delivering an epic showdown or poignant moments of character growth, the film often devolved into a series of confusing plot lines filled with exposition and jarring tonal shifts. Key characters like Isaiah Bradley and Wen Torres felt underdeveloped, with the story not providing sufficient background for their relevance. While the incorporation of plot elements like mind control felt promising, their presentation received criticism for lacking depth and coherence.
Additionally, the character of "the Leader" failed to leave a lasting impact, characterized more as a bland plot device rather than a formidable foe. Viewers were left questioning the overall purpose of various character arcs and wondering whether the film ultimately contributed to the greater narrative of the MCU.
