Even though Thor's films have been some of the weakest MCU films I think Thor 3 is going to be great, and I also look forward to Black Panther. Marvel's kicking ass so I'm excited for them all, hope they get Fantastic 4 back one day, even though I'm not holding my breath. Hope I'm wrong though.
They may get the FF back one day, depending on how badly Fox messes things up. The problem with Thor's films is that Marvel Studios doesn't care about him. If they did, they'd have made Thor Dr. Donald Blake and had him be a regular surgeon who discovers Thor's hammer, and only later realizes that he's actually Thor. And that he has been stripped of his power, immortality, and memory, and reborn as a mortal man on Earth as punishment from Odin, until he proves himself worthy. That's how I would've written it. It would humanize Thor and give him an actual reason for defending Earth.

I'm not pumped for Marvel though, because I still think they're doing things wrong. James Gunn making Ego, The Living Planet Star Lord's father? I think Gunn is just doing things for the sake of their outrageousness, but not according to whether or not they make sense. And how can he not have Adam Warlock in the Guardians yet? Also, Marvel really isn't developing the whole Thanos/Adam Warlock storyline properly if they want Infinity War to work. You can't just stuff all of that into one movie. I just don't think they're structuring anything properly, they're just doing things the Hollywood way, and it's sloppy. And don't get me started on Spider-Man. Making Peter a teenager.... again? He's been in his 20's since the 1970's in the comics, why not let him grow up in the movies as well? And I just can't see Zendaya as Mary Jane, just like I can't see Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One, or Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie. Also, I've heard that Sony may not allow Peter to be in the MCU for long, depending on how things go.
