It's a bit different watching 5 movies in a series before the 6th compared to watching 40 movies plus multiple tv shows that all have different titles and that need a guide on how to watch in order.
yes it’s a bit different because one is way longer but that doesn’t make it any less stupid to jump into a story a long way into the story and complain you don’t know what’s going on, if anything it makes it look like even more of a stupid criticism
I kinda agree with you but I also don’t. Marvel has made their cinematic universe more inaccessible to new comers than most of the comic books the stories are based on. When it was just movies it was okay. Now that they’re pumping out two or three shows a year, it’s getting to be an overwhelming amount of content. Since Endgame, I can definitely say I haven’t been super well caught up on my Marvel movies just because they’ve made so much in such a short amount of time. I think they need to soft reboot the universe with their new heroes and stop throwing in “Remember this minor character from that one movie in 2008 before much of our target audience was even born? He’s still here.”
Yeah I agree. if I recall it’s the same thing that damaged the comics in the 90s. There were so many different ones and they all tied in. You couldn’t read just one comic you were interested in. You had to read 10-20 comics. Plus all the backstory. People got overwhelmed and gave up.
Then in the 2000s they did a sort of reboot like you’re saying. with the ultimates line. Which a lot of the MCU is based on. Which was much simpler and more widely accessible.
