The Phase 2-3 movies were always fun (in addition to them being very good movies) because they always dropped nuggets in them to tease for future episodes. Phase 1, really, was just about them establishing characters.
Phase... whatever we're in right now seems to be a return to Phase 1. We're getting Shang Chi, we're getting the Eternals, we're getting introduced to all kinds of characters and building worlds around them before we start to cross it all over, I think. That does mean these movies are more straightforward, like they were in Phase 1.
Just a theory.
Spoiler!
Oddly enough, that's different from the Disney+ shows, which have left all kinds of nuggets for the future of the MCU. WandaVision showed us the Wanda that will emerge in Dr. Strange's movie, as well as Monica Rambeau, Agatha (who will get her own spinoff) and (maybe) White Vision. Falcon/WS transitioned Falcon into the new Cap and laid an Easter egg on John Walker. Loki, as Bowser just said, illustrated the multiverse and introduced Kang the Conquerer for Ant Man 3. And now we have Hawk-Eye, who at the very least is setting us up for Kate Bishop, going forward, giving us Echo (who is getting a spin-off), and who knows what else.
