citation needed? TV shows

The article says Phase Four "is the first phase in the franchise to include television series". Are shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. part of the MCU but not part of any Phase? 173.67.42.107 (talk) 15:51, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, they are part of the MCU but not included in the Phases, rather having their own grouping designations. Trailblazer101 (talk) 17:51, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA nom

Am I wrong thinking this article is pretty much ready for a GA nomination? It's ahead of the first three Phases as it has a written reception section and development looks good after a quick skim. To me it feels like it mostly just needs some CE to double check things. -- ZooBlazer^talk 22:58, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While this isn't a requirement, I think it could make sense to wait until all the Phase Four film and TV articles are GA before nominating this one. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:27, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It may not be a requirement but it makes sense. Like the first three Phases, I think it'll makes sense to nominate this as a Good Topic once we get to that point. -- ZooBlazer^talk 23:37, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also I feel, while the Phase has completed, we are still in the Multiverse Saga, and things in the future might reference back to this Phase, that would be beneficial to mention as part of a "complete" article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would think it would be best to gravitate towards gathering more reception and commentary on the prior Phases and the Infinity Saga to bring it up more to the level of detail and coverage of this Phase before focusing on nominating Four, or even Five.

Image?

Until we have a Phase Four box set, would File:Marvel Studios panelists (48471873997).jpg (or something similar) work as the infobox image? InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:44, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need to have an image if no good option is available. This one you linked seems good for the development section. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:15, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section

Why in this article and the ones for Phases Five and Six, we mention every single project in the lead unlike the previous phases' articles where only the first and last projects are mentioned? (aside from the Avengers films, which are remarkable). I personally think it's a bit unnecessary, given the amount of projects is much bigger in the new phases and those are specifically listed below in their respective sections (films, series, specials, etc) AxGRvS (talk) 11:24, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
