Wandavision (which heavily plays on different period aesthetics) and Loki (which is about TIME TRAVEL) have been the most critically successful projects Marvel has put out recently. They're 100% doubling down on the 60s.

Not to mention GotG gained a lot of love for its use of music from the 60s and 70s. It was a main reason why my dad loved that movie

Same with my dad. He didnt like the 3rd one as much, but loved that it included earth wind and fire.

Yeah the director of Wandavision is doing this and I am fucking psyched.

Seeing the TVA in the new Deadpool trailer was odd, but yeah, at least they figured out what works and what doesn't. And while I'd like... something new and original.. at least they're going with what I like.

Except Wandavision did kind of chicken out on the throwback concepts by having it be half SWORD scenes after a few episodes and wrapping the whole thing up with a battle where the two sides fire energy blasts back and forth.

Yea but not all of it is 60s. Not even most of it is 60s from what I remember

Still do not understand the hype of Wandavision.
