I oppose for the points listed above. Raava.
Iron Man is mentioned in Shang-Chi. Trevor Slattery is in Shang-Chi. The answer is yes
@SpiderFan2104 X-Men '97 can't be canon because (white) Nick Fury, Iron Man, War Machine, Captain America, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Thor, Black Panther, Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel), Punisher, Hulk, Hank Pym (Giant-Man), Janet van Dyne (Wasp), Black Widow, Daredevil, Hercules, and Ben Reilly appear
@IronWidowMaikuB I don't think he got lucky. Mysterio did not come up with 616 himself. We know Erik Selvig discovered the 616 designation in Thor: The Dark World. All Mysterio needed to do was read his research on the multiverse, which he might have done to prepare for his character and appear knowledgeable
""Gifted" is both insufficient and too broad. I believe there are two categories we're dealing with. Enhanced is what I'd suggest we call people like David Angar, Mike Peterson... people whose gifts were man made. Skye, Raina... this was inside them, a part of them."
Eternals was never good to begin with
Like others said above, you can come up with your own magical, possibly convoluted explanation as to why nobody is talking about such a world shattering event.
Obviously the writers of AoS and Runaways didn't know what would happen in Infinity War (seasons came out afterwards, but the scripts were already planned and written).
I think this thread shows the general opinions of what people here think of all this. Do with that what you will.
Personally I don't think there's a whole lot to think about. The role is sorta just a lot of staring and eyebrow acting. That being said, Anson Mount has like, hair, which I think is a plus over Vin Diesel at least.
