2000 MCU

Anyone else feels that Raimi Trilogy. Fantastic Four, Hulk 2003, Ghost Rider,Blade,Daredevil 2003 and X-Men are part of the same universe? i dont know why but the styles of the movies feel the same i always wanted an Avengers movie during the 2000s

No, not really. Pretty much all of them followed the then-traditional creative conceit of "This particular character is the only superhero to exist, and if they are new than the idea of superheroes is also new". Its not so much about having obvious crossovers or cameos, its about the world in general. "The same as the real world except where stated", which is anathema to a broader superheroic setting. 'This web-slinging hero is so singular and unthinkably innovative. . . except for all those mutants running around, and the green monster that rampaged over the west, and the ninja vigilante working the bad side of town mere miles away, and. . .'

The 2000s X-Men and Fantastic Four didn't feel like they belong to the same universe, so as Daredevil and Ghost Rider. Spider-Man felt like he was the only superhero in New York. Blade movies, I would mistake them as part of the Underworld Vampiric Universe than X-Men's movie verse. Hulk 2003 really felt like its own thing.

The only similarity these movies have they were some of the early big budgeted Marvel movies and they were released before the MCU.

I admit that I have, in the Long Ago Time, before the MCU grew to the scope it has since achieved? I've tried to imagine ways to incorporate any or all of the pre-MCU Marvel movies into the MCU. Its. . . sometimes interesting but mostly a *gigantic* kludge where you have to basically rewrite at least half of each of the movies in order to fit them into the MCU. More of a fanfic creative premise than a simple task of adaptation. The point is, doing so kind of revealed how wildly incompatible they are, and removing the MCU from the equation doesn't really help much. The X-Men movies in particular are the worst culprit, as they are barely even consistent and compatible with *themselves*, despite theoretically being a single series!

Only, kind of wishfully thinking, X-Men/Fantastic Four (I know more direct connection was considered and am surprised it wasn't gone with) and maybe Daredevil, they're close enough in style, more so than the others. Although a Daredevil/Spider-Man crossover could have been cool.

Not surprising at all, they almost certainly *couldn't* do such a connection, not without explicitly contractual approval from Marvel.

My understanding is that with the Multiverse, everything is canon now. That means all the TV shows from the 70`s, all the Netflix shows, all the pre-MCU movies, all the animated shows, they all `happened` in one universe or another.

Kind of a cool way to tie everything together if you ask me

Eh not @ all. Marvel Studios doesn't even have the rights for every Marvel movie that came out.

While there's a way to connect a movie like Dark PhoeniX to Eternals, through the multiverse; they are only connected once a connection/cross over is established. For all we know, Marvel Studios don't even recognize those films as part of their cinematic universe. Just like James Gunn didn't view the pre D+ shows as part of the MCU.
