The Marvels is actually pretty relevant to the Multiversal Saga
I'm watching through the important stuff leading into Doomsday, most of the stuff featuring Multiverse or people that will be in Doomsday; as well as rewatching WandaVision and Agatha for VisionQuest. And I'm waiting for my friend to catch up, so I figured I'd watch The Marvels since it's short, and Monica technically was in WandaVision.
Lowkey, I can kind of see the vision here (no pun intended). This came out in November 2023, with Kang Dynasty at that time slated for May 2025 (only 18 months away). Quantumania released in February 2023 and Loki Season 2 was airing October/November 2023. So after re-shuffling the deck in Phase Four, the plan was underway to lead into the big multiverse showdown in Kang Dynasty.
But then Majors legal issues happened, they hand-waived Kang away at the end of Loki, and they pivoted to Doomsday in July 2024, 8 months after the Marvels released. But watching this movie, you can see how it plays a role in the overall story.
SABER has a space station that is monitoring jump points. Dar-Benn is in possession of a quantum band, with Kamala in possession of the other one. They have the power to create jump points/wormholes, but they're not done safely or correctly and are weakening space and time.
When she makes one by the Earth's sun, and then explodes near it due to the power of using both bangles, the wormhole splits open, similar to what we see in Spider-Man No Way Home, and Monica even says "Another universe is leaking into ours." You can even see on the other side a planet that looks pretty desolate.
She then of course gets stuck on the other side, and she's in what we assume is the Fox X-Men universe, with Maria Rambeau and Kelsey Grammer's Beast. This universe of course is one that plays a big role in Doomsday, fighting off incursions from other universes.
And then at the end, Kamala goes to recruit Kate Bishop, also name dropping "Ant-Man's daughter" as she puts together a team of young superheroes (the Young Avengers), which Secret Wars has been rumored to revolve around.
So following No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness, Quantumania, Loki and now this, we see multiple instances of the barriers in the multiverse breaking down, which lends credence to the plot of Doomsday where the multiverse is collapsing. We concretely see the X-Men universe which will feature in the upcoming multiversal collision. And then we have the beginnings of the formation of the Young Avengers which will play a role in Secret Wars.
I don't think the movie is all that special, even on rewatch, despite the action scenes being good, but I am surprised by how relevant it is in the overarching timeline of the Multiversal Saga.

Damn, VisionQuest is so good. I really hope we get a lot more of the Vision in the future and they don't kill him off.
Paul Bettany is awesome. This character is so wise and interesting, badass in a fight, and his struggles seem to ironically be the most 'human' of any character in the universe, except for maybe some of the struggles in Thunderbolts.
I just want more. Can't wait for Tuesday.

Hot Take: None of the MCU movies are really bad
People keep hating on Thor: The Dark World and the Marvels and the later X men films, etc. I haven’t actually watched The Marvels but is it really that bad? I’ve seen some bad movies and I don’t think The Dark World is as terrible as it’s made out to be. And the later X Men films are some of my favorite. There’s a coherent plot, decent CGI. That’s better then most other films can say. Am I alone here?

Mischief Theatre/"Goes Wrong"
Given that there's three cast members of Mischief Theatre involved in Visionquest, I implore people to watch their other stuff. 'Peter Pan Goes Wrong', or their BBC series 'The Goes Wrong Show', or since it's December next month 'A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong'. Their work is simply some of the best comedy work, and certainly brilliantly written farce, around.

Vision Quest is lovely
I finally finished Agatha, so I wanted to go through this next. On episode one now, and I’m absolutely loving it. Vision is such a good character! It makes total sense that there would be this artificial world that he retreats to sort of process things in his own way.
I do feel like the show sort of glosses over who makes the mind stone replacement in his head? And the attention to detail with the other AIs who have been in the MCU, made by Tony I guess mostly.
