The saying goes, "don't try to reinvent the wheel," but it seems as if some at Hasbro has decided that reinventing the wheel is a good thing for business, which has made them forget about the beginnings (comic figures) and what made the action figures fun for the fans. IMO, the Moon Knight and the Disney+ waves are not that appealing. Some recent waves seem so under par, that ML fans can now tell which waves are going to clog the toy section and are mostly correcting on their hedge, which is very telling. I will always be a Marvel fan, but I will not always buy ML like I once did. Now, I'm not even looking at future waves, I am going backward and trying to get ML figures that I did not get in the past.

Kind of. I agree that we need more comic figures in waves and as waves in general. But Movie figures have been a part since nearly the very beginning. Series 3 introduced that with Daredevil Ben Affleck. Series 4 had Punisher Thomas Jane. Series 5 was Wesley Snipes Blade. It wasn't till series 9 that we even got our first Build a figure so if you think about movie figures predate that concept which I also think is a core of the line(as in BAFs are a core). It's more if you consider the legends-adjacent movie figures.
Edit: Well actually you did say for the most part...
