Huh...... Maybe I need to rewatch that one again. I’ve talk to other MCU fans about it and I didn’t realize I may be in the minority with that take.

I think MCU fans mostly like Doctor Strange but few absolutely love it. It is still a good movie. If they went and ranked all the movies, the movie would likely end up in 90% of people's bottom half. For me, it is bottom third. I've still got movies like Incredible Hulk, Captain Marvel, and Thor: The Dark World below it for sure.
Dr Strange is the most visually-creative movie in the MCU. The effects alone put it higher on my list, but I agree the story is pretty much copy-paste from other first-entry MCU movies, and the actors don't really have a lot to do besides show to the audience "hey look, it's (insert actor here) in a comicbook movie"
I think that the terms of Stark’s snap were “everyone on Thanos’ side”, or “Thanos and his allies” rather than “everyone who came forward from 2014”.
At that point, Gamora distinctly wasn’t on Thanos’ side, so it wasn’t really a deviation.

I have occasionally followed this thread so if if is info previously published I apologize. This deal was just too good to pass up, 23 Marvel movies from Iron Man to Endgame on 12 DVDs for $25. My question for the experts here is how deep into the MCU do I really need to dive to binge. Here is a suggestion I found,
TBH my thought is that I only want to watch the non-movies that directly tie into the MCU movies. So Peggy Carter is must and maybe Agents of Shield but all the streaming ones are a mystery.
As previously mentioned we live full-time in an RV so bandwidth and data limits hit us hard. I can get Peggy Carter and Agents on DVDs. If I absolutely need one of the streaming series I will somehow make it work but only if I have to.
Any advice will be appreciated!

Other than those ones, the other series don't really tie back into the movies at all. The Netflix ones occur in the aftermath of the first avengers movie so there's some references to that but none of those characters make it into a movie or anything. Yet at least. The rights just made it back to marvel so some of those characters might see use again.
The Netflix shows are worth a watch though if you ever get the chance. I think the first 1-2 seasons of each are on disc
To this day, I still regret missing out on Doctor Strange in 3D, even if only for that ONE scene.
Yeah it is. They just recast the Hulk afterwards. There are multiple other things in that movie that tie to the MCU as a whole, most notably Thunderbolt Ross. While distributed by Universal at the time, it was made by Feige and Marvel Studios.
Interesting news over the weekend: Sony was reluctant to cast Tom Holland to play Spider-Man in the MCU, at least according to the Russo's:

That's crazy. I love Tom Holland as Spidey. He's the best in my opinion at being both a believable teenager and a sassy wisecracking Spiderman
Holland is so much spider man now I couldn't imagine anybody else playing him, and I think he added a lot to the Avengers movies with his relationship with Tony.
And, ironically, their reluctance could have cost them millions or even billions of dollars. At that point, they weren’t too far from losing that property.Interesting news over the weekend: Sony was reluctant to cast Tom Holland to play Spider-Man in the MCU, at least according to the Russo's:

That reluctance by Sony is exactly why they’ve been flailing with the Spider-man franchise without Disney’s help. Spider-man 3 and Amazing Spider-man 1 & 2 reeked of corporate interference. The only good Spider-man film they’ve done lately without the MCU was Into the Spiderverse, and that’s purely because they let go of the leash and let the creators have at it.
Watch out for Thor 4 spoilers. There's some set-footage making the rounds showing the filming of what appears to be a pretty humorous moment from the film. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with the plot, but I wish I would have avoided it.
