its not wrong though. As a guy who cant even tell whats marvel and whats DC, these movies have allready lost me. theres any new superhero movie coming out and im like, whatever, i wount even know whats going on half of the time, so why bother.

Uh, the movies start with their respective logos, so...

There's like 4 new movies coming out every week and maybe once a month it's a MCU/DCEU...

People just seem upset that "nerds" get to enjoy something

Completely agreed. Marvel Studios and Disney have made fantastic strides in slashing the diversity of genre films that are financed and distributed every year.

I don't think that's it. Lots of 'nerd' stuff is praised by the same people who shit on superhero movies.

The same way a hamburger aficionado might shit on, say, McDonald's.

Whiney article is whiney.

Either the MCU is inaccessible, or it's too bland & cookie cutter/assembly line-y to have any depth.

It can't be both.

lol dude that's not even remotely true.

Outside of the Avengers movies, this is pretty much true.

Kinda but not really.

The Infinity Stones are a major part of the connective formula. One hit Guardians. The Dark World. One in Cap.

Only one appeared in Avengers.

That's not at all what the article is saying... article writer is saying the initial investment to get into some of these episodic film universes is too high, which for some people is intimating or a turn off.

I dunno, everything that's happening is something I only dreamed about as a kid, so I couldn't be happier.

I like ongoing storytelling over self contained stuff (part of why I watch more shows than movies), and love reading wikis and shit to catch up on a complex world.

Seeing the Avengers come together and a live action ongoing Marvel Universe with an amazing track record so far, its pretty much a future I couldn't have seen coming as a kid.

Its amazing and I'm loving every minute of it so far.

Comic books have killed mainstream movies. It’s all complete worthless dross.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm and I'm sad
