    Yeah it’s easy for something to be canon when there are absolutely 0 consequences and an infinite number of universes so they can retcon anything they want later

    I see nothing in that article supporting the headline.

    Just a line about “looking back to the mythology while building on the foundation” which means nothing and commits to using none of the supposedly dropped characters of Foggy and Karen.

    If Matt suddenly has his own firm and no supporting staff while also being a superhero at night… it’s not gonna work.

    I wanted to see She Hulk get smacked down by Jeri Hogarth from Jessica Jones, Jeri was a true badass legal shark, unlike the wimpy Jessica Waters. And a Jessica Jones / She Hulk fight would have been awesome.

    Canon in that it’s part of Earth-19999 or canon in that it’s just part of the MCU in an unknown universe?

    Uhh… they’ve always been canon to the movies. Remember when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was cleaning up the mess left behind from Thor 2? Or the constant references to the Battle of New York? The Netflix Marvel shows made references to the MCU films all the time.

    It’s the reason I preferred the MCU over the DCEU. DC’s TV shows had absolutely nothing to do with their new movies, so they didn’t contribute to the world building. It felt pointless to watch stand-alone series that went nowhere, so I skipped them all. But the Marvel series were all set in the MCU, so it was developing more heroes who could potentially make cameos on the big screen. Or further developing heroes who were previously on the big screen, like Wanda, Loki, Phil Coulson, Hawkeye, etc.
