I'd argue that big status quo changes are coming and WandaVision is part of setting it up. WandaVision leads into the next Doctor Strange which probably leads into a whole bunch of multiverse bullshit which is definitely a status quo change.
But I guess I get what you mean in general. I'm not gonna argue that it's not cynical, but I guess I enjoy it enough to not care that much.
when half the cast ‘dies’ there was no real threat to the status quo. I could reasonably expect that there would be a Black Panther sequel given the previous success (before Chadwick Boseman’s death, I mean).
they would also have big Apple style conventions where they’d show “Guardians of the Galaxy 4,5&6” despite almost all of them being dusted.
worst part is i missed avengers 2 and I was severely disadvantaged at understanding and figuring out the mystery because thats both wanda and visions origin story lol
I haven't seen Wandavision because I'm not a Marvel fan, but now I want to watch it just to compare it to Nomadland, which is one of the most realistic portrayals of grief I've ever seen.
Edit: However, ironically, one of my favorite quotes on grief comes from the Nolan film Batman Begins "And one day you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you'd be spared your pain" Not that I've ever experienced grief that way, nor do I believe I know anyone who has, but I think it's an interesting idea.

did the vision die in the last movie?
I haven't watched one in like 3 years.

It was never supposed to feel "complete". It was never meant to be something that can stand on its own. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

You don't know anyone who grieves by shutting down and retreating entirely into nostalgic fantasy? You must not know many libs.
