WiC Weekly: May 8-14
By WiC Staff
We spent a lot of the week continuing to pick through Doctor Strange 2 and the House of the Dragon trailer, but a few other things snuck in there.
We here at WinterIsComing.net are feeling like a Game of Thrones site again as the hype train for House of the Dragon picks up speed. But there was still a little something for everyone this week. Read on.
First off, let’s revisit that House of the Dragon trailer HBO dropped the other week, because no amount of obsessing over it is too much:

Marvel is bigger than it’s ever been…and that might not be a good thing.
The MCU was once known for its methodically interconnected storytelling, but the deeper we get into Phase 4, the less coherent it feels. How big is too big? https://t.co/5qjv3GukI5
