For those unfamiliar, as I was until a few minutes ago, the reference to 'comic vs MCU brand confusion' begins at 4:28 (4:59 for the specific reference). Of course, provided this is in fact the conversation/video in question.. EDIT: Sans any mention of Man-Ape or Mantis, this likely isn't the dialogue, but there is a mention of 'brand confusion' and Marvel's preferences.

Well, thanks for that, Ultra, I usually don't tune into this sort of stuff as a deliberate effort to avoid moments like this one. (ignorance is bliss, in this scenario) Disheartening indeed as Marvel seems more adept at cocking things up than they are at delivering splendor. They sit atop a trove of creativity, but rather than ministering like a grand historian, they perch, troll-like, on a commode overtop vast treasures spreading excrement on the precious works they horde. Looks like the Legends team isn't to blame for everything related to character choices within the line. I'm glad that I'm very selective in what I consume in the way of Marvel entertainment. I might start boycotting this mishegoss of multiverses and What if-isms even more so than I have now knowing that it fits into a plan to give me only things slightly adjacent to what I actually want.
