    No, WWE is you go see failed actors and stuntmen, Hollywood is where you see the successful ones.

      I think super hero “stuff” is similar to sci-fi and westerns in that it has become a genre. And just like the two much older genres it started as the main focus of movies and shows where not much else was required to provide for an exciting event. However as more and more content gets released it will have to evolve into the backdrop or foundation for telling a much bigger story, ones that go beyond simple bad vs good or world invasion/ending crisis.

      Westerns and sci-fi eventually figured that out. Some of the best movies and shows in both genres are ones that use them to explore complex themes about humanity at both the micro and macro scale. I think Supacell is on the right track for doing that and hopefully doesn’t fall back in to typical tropes with future seasons.

    Tbh, I stopped following the MCU after Infinity War, and if what I’ve read about the absolute clusterfuck that is post-Endgame is true, I’m not really inclined to get back into it.

      I’ve enjoyed most of it

      I really like the storytelling and the worlds and fantasy they create

      The series are often much better than the movies

        For a while, yeah; Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Black Panther (RIP Chadwick Boseman) are all peak.

      all the shows after MCU endgame were just promotions for thier movie promotions , to other movie or show promotions, nothing more.

      stand alone movies are so much better than what MCU is doing, i would hate when and if they release a new ghost rider movie. the 1st one with mephisto was so much better(at least the actor). instead they had to tease it in the stereotype of AA people, black lightning or whatever it was called, using sacha baren cohen.

        And Guardians vol. 3, and some people really like Loki while other people really dislike Loki.

        But I think that’s all.

            The guardians were such good stand alone movies I wish they hadn’t been a part of the MCU and just developed on their own. It was kind of jarring to watch 1 and 2 then come back to 3 with a bunch of plot progression and character development you have to watch unrelated movies to understand

              Yeah, I could honestly watch 3 hours of Rocket just being Rocket and be perfectly happy with the time spent.

      It was utter garbage for a while, like such bad writing and so obviously formulaic that I’d get pissed off about it. Especially the Dr strange one…I was pissed because i was excited for another dr strange one and it wasn’t even enjoyable. It’s makes no sense, they did nothing with the characters, it was like a whirlwind trailer to set up new overarching plot lines

      Part of it might be that my expectations dropped to the floor after that, but I’ve found that after they cancelled everything and course corrected they’ve gradually gotten better. If doomsday is good I’ll probably get invested again, I am excited to see the mutants get involved in the main plot

      The spider man series are still good though, aside from lady web…I don’t know what was going on with that

      A year or so back I decided I was going to catch up. I went back to Iron Man and started rewatching the entire series in release order, at most one a night after everyone else was in bed.

      I didn’t even make it through Endgame. I watched up to Endgame, started watching it, paused it, and for all I know, it’s still paused.
