When time travel and multiverse is brought up, everything is inconsequential. No event has any impact.

In a multiverse, same problem as time-travel: nothing really matters

If everything counts, nothing counts. Teal'c in Stargate SG1 had the right attitude "Ours is the only universe of consequence!"

It is used as an excuse to justify trash writing.

I think the multiverse concept is a tool that's neither good nor bad. It just matters how it's used. I think it's mostly being used poorly but has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, audiences will already be tired of it by the time someone has the courage to do something really interesting with it.

Honestly, I wish they had used the multiverse plot device to recast Black Panther.

I don’t mind it if it’s done well. I really liked Spider-Man. But I don’t want to see it overused as a gimmick to get them out of a corner the writers put them in.

you are correct nobody would expect a Bond team up. but i’d definitely watch it

Even though I enjoyed seeing the three Spider-Men team up, I think the multi verse idea is flawed. The studios do seem to be slowly realising the woke messaging is losing them money and bringing back legacy characters and actors is jumping on the member berry train.

Did you notice that Loki, MoM and NWH have different multiverse rules?

There is one fundamental flaw in all alternate universe stories - the same people exist. What that means is that in each universe since the birth of humankind, every single couple has hooked up at least once to produce the same children. None of the character's ancestors failed to meet, didn't get along, or even died before having the opportunity to sleep together at least once to produce that character.

Back in the day, the "multiverse" (Flash 123) is what drove me away from most of the comics for awhile.

" . . . people with eventually get TIRED of it."

There’s also an element of cowardice involved. When writers and directors know they’re dealing with multiversal concepts, they feel empowered to make radical changes while hiding behind it and claiming it’s no big deal because they’re not touching “the original character”.

The "Ship of theseus" Issue is something that will afflict any franchise that plays with different iterations of the same character across a multiverse.

There are some really great multiverse-stories.

This multiverse train of creative thought is ultimately unsustainable.

The problem with the multiverse device is that nothing matters anymore. Consequence is gone. Sacrifice is meaningless.

A trend I've definitely noticed with the use of the multiverse, particularly in mainstream movies, is that a lot of writers just kinda dip their toes in it without trying to fully understand or explore it - and as a result their stories often don't hold up to any scrutiny (both NWH and MoM being prime examples).

The multiverse concept has been around in the comics at least since the 1980's and likely earlier. It's a bit jaded to think that because we've had a few years of multiverse film content out there that all the stories possible have been told when then whole point of a multiverse is infinite possibilities. The problem isn't the multiverse as a plot device much like the problem with super hero films isn't the concept of super heroes being played out. If comic books can mine that well since the 1930's without running out of stories to tell, the film industry can as well. The problem lies with the lack of creativity coming out of Hollywood right now. It's writers and producers who lack the scope of vision to create films that push the boundaries they've set up for themselves. They're afraid to experiment or iterate on the billion dollar formula (beyond of course the ham-fisted injection of identity politics at every turn). There's decades of fresh, diverse material to be crafted out of the concept of super hero's within a multiverse, the comic book industry has proven this. Hollywood is just failing to read the blueprint that's already been laid out before them.
