And Captain Marvel had never been in any movie before she hosted one. And what’s wrong with Ant-Man money? Clearly Disney is okay with that, thus why they’re making a third film after both previous movies performed way less than other Marvel entries.No, there was absolutely no chance of a Scarlet Witch movie being made before this show. She had all of 20 total minutes of actual screen time before this series. She wasn't popular or known beyond MCU fans.
This show has made her probably the most popular female superhero in the MCU (if not one of the most popular female superheroes, period) and one of the most popular Avengers period now. She could easily lead her own movie *now*, but before this, a Scarlet Witch movie probably wouldn't have even brought in Ant-Man money. This was great character development for her in the lead-up to her starring in Multiverse of Madness.
But that wasn’t even the point I was trying to make. I was saying this show was bloated and poorly paced. If you go back and re-watch it now, knowing what happens, a great deal of it will feel drawn out.
