Having seen what other people have said, I personally believe we should do something other than phase one.

The whole "Superheroism is just beginning" thing is done to death, we see a new movie series with this premise every year or so and I am personally sick of it. Starting later in the timeline would, in my opinion, offer a lot more intrigue as we see how the world has changed as a result of superheroes showing up.

It's also a lot easier to come up with ways to introduce characters in the later phases. Dudes fall from space all the time there, in Phase One that never happened. We don't even see Wakanda until Phase three, so that would leave an entire country unavailable because it maintains its splendid isolation up until T'Challa makes some changes.
