The Nerdist article posits that Marvel Studios likely had to alter Sentry's (Robert Reynolds) introduction into the MCU for the upcoming Thunderbolts movie because of the events in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Here's a breakdown of the main points:

1. Sentry's Comic Origin: In the comics, Sentry is an incredibly powerful hero with a dark, destructive alter-ego called the Void. To stop the Void, Sentry, with the help of heroes like Doctor Strange and Reed Richards, made the entire world forget his existence. This "forgotten hero" trope is central to his character.
2. The Spider-Man: No Way Home concluded with Doctor Strange casting a spell that made the entire world forget Peter Parker.
3. Narrative Repetition: The article argues that introducing Sentry with a similar "everyone forgot him" storyline so soon after No Way Home would feel repetitive and lessen the impact of both narratives. Marvel typically tries to avoid such direct thematic overlaps in quick succession.
4. Forced Adaptation: Therefore, Marvel Studios will likely need to find a different way to introduce Sentry into the MCU. This could mean altering his origin, the reason for his obscurity, or how his immense power and dangerous duality (the Void) are managed without resorting to a global memory wipe.
5. Speculation: The article suggests Sentry might already exist in the MCU but is perhaps forgotten by most, or only known to a select few (like Thaddeus Ross, who might be involved in his creation or control), rather than a worldwide amnesia event.

The Nerdist article analyzes a hypothetical battle between "Captain America's Avengers" (the classic lineup: Steve Rogers' Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye) and the "New Avengers" (Sam Wilson's Captain America, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, and She-Hulk).

The article argues that while the original Avengers have superior teamwork, experience, and strategic minds (Cap and Iron Man), they would likely lose to the New Avengers.

The primary reasons for the New Avengers' predicted victory are:

1. Overwhelming Power Levels: The New Avengers boast members with significantly higher individual power ceilings.

• Scarlet Witch: Her reality-warping chaos magic is presented as a near-unbeatable force, potentially capable of soloing the old team if at full power.
• Doctor Strange: His mastery of the mystic arts offers immense versatility and power that the original team (especially members like Iron Man) would struggle against.
• Captain Marvel: Her cosmic powers provide immense destructive capability and durability.

1. Versatility: The combination of cosmic power, advanced magic, size manipulation (Ant-Man), and new skill sets (Shang-Chi with the Ten Rings) presents too many diverse threats for the original team to counter effectively.
2. Weaker Links Neutralized: While Black Widow and Hawkeye are skilled, they are outmatched by the powerhouses on the New Avengers roster.
