Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

Thanks. Seems to really have walked the line on set to date.

Allegedly crossed it a few times but nothing to the extent where it overshadowed his talent and he'd lose work (evidenced by the opportunities he was getting). Sounds like the sort of thing that had the potential to have gotten worse if he became more successful, now I presume the court case and media blow up, including that article, will have him changing his tune if he makes a comeback.

who was running away?

I did not.

Also, the anthology style shows are the most rewatchable. That What If show can effectively be watched standalone and everyone can dip into what interests them. The other Disney shows felt like a huge build up to something that fails to deliver by the end of the season cause it's a setup for another movie.

Can you give a few examples of your last sentence?

To me basically each season closed off as much as most shows do, like AoS for example. Yes, not everything is tied up but that is completely normal for a TV, as they are setting up the next season - with MCU shows it might be a new season or a movie.

thats bizarre.

Be more surprised if he isnt as I think Tatum and Reynolds are friends IRL so cant see Reynolds missing the opportunity.

Wandavision closed out the way most seasons of TV shows do by closing out the Westview story.

What difference does it make that it led into a movie rather than another season of a TV show?

It meant Wandavision was required watching prior to Doctor Strange 2, anyone who was only interested in the films would have been very confused about Wandas actions without it.

And there are a lot of people who have no interest in putting in the time to watch every piece of Marvel entertainment so they can enjoy the films. Disney looks to have learned this though when they said TV shows will be largely separate in future.

The great thing about the infinity saga was you could generally enjoy the films in isolation or as part of a larger story, whichever the viewer was interested in. Since that finished and the Disney TV shows started they’ve prioritised having their films set something up rather than be their own thing(with the notable exception of GOTG3, by far the best Marvel film of recent years).

I don't understand this, especially the bold. I see very little difference from then and now when it comes to enjoying the movies post Endgame if you've missed something. If you skipped a movie you weren't going to understand everything, especially details of a character arc. For example, if you missed Winter Soldier you weren't going to 'get' a lot of the background in Civil War. Marvel have always done a good job in filling gaps and continue to.

The biggest difference is that those who are now skipping shows never skipped movies, so are getting their first taste of what a sizeable proportion of the general public have felt over the years and are being far more vocal about it. The general public understand that if they haven't seen everything they're going to not get everything so rarely complained.

They are in no-mans land now. They made just keeping up with everything too much hard work even for the small core comic book fans. Total overload. For casual audiences it's a disaster.

Pure casuals have never had that issue and still don't, as can be seen by the box office performance of the tentpole movies before and after Endgame.

The format of using Disney+ is a disaster for the group who used to go to all the movies but now are experiencing not being in the know for the first time and are bailing (lets call them former fanboys). That is the floor that has totally fallen out there and we see the results in the last two movies when there weren't Tier 1 characters.

We'll likely see a huge bounce back for Deadpool again next year, where the casuals and former fanboys come out of the woodwork for Tier 1 character and won't care what they do or don't 'get'.

Sounds like Majors found not guilty of the more serious charges and guilty of the lesser ones.

Seems like his lawyer's approach of trying for a homerun has backfired.
