    I mean I want more Foggy, so from that perspective it would have been a great idea.

    However I can definitely see how a slight variant character is difficult to follow. Even Loki, the show all about variants, struggled with this. The Loki we follow in the show forks after The Avengers film. The Loki the audience knows died in Infinity War. The solution was to show post-Avengers Loki a highlight reel of his life and just make him Infinity War Loki.

    Plus based on the direction we’re heading, I think they made the right choice.

      Rip Foggy 😭

      But I’m happy, the multiverse gimmick is starting to get old, I’m glad we’re back in the simple NY with our favourite blind lawyer

      Although, the multiverse bullshit could have brought back Wesley🤔

        There was a comic mini-series, The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson, to bring him back after he died one time.

        Maybe he survived the attack and we’ll see an adaptation of that as a special presentation one day.

    I’m so sick of timey-wimey shit in comic book movies. Those big crossover arcs were always about editors forcing writers’ hands in an attempt to hand-wave away continuity errors. The fact that some of them became classics that then got turned into movies is testament to how fucking thick the average reader is, despite the “nerd” stereotype.

      Most of the hand-waving in Marvel crossovers has been relatively recent. That’s been more of a DC staple. The older crossovers Marvel has done (the ones that have gotten adaptations) were more just about increasing sales.
