[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 314457, member: 23"] That's how I remember it, although some were based on the concept of a canonical story taking a different turn and affecting events after that point (my oft-read [I]What If Phoenix Hadn't Died? [/I]springs to mind). I'm really trying to keep an open mind around this, but I don't feel particularly invested in the concept. [I]Endgame[/I] did it brilliantly, and it's right that such an important story should have some effect on future films. I was also OK with it in [I]Loki[/I] since it was a different medium and gave that series a USP. But I suppose I'm of a mind that the on-screen universe created in the MCU is interesting enough and - strange as it may sound for this genre - it seems too sci-fi to truly appeal. It almost fits into the category you mentioned of fiction creating its own rules and then breaking them. Yes, that worked for me as well. Though, with the same reservations you said about. [/QUOTE]
