I probably have this wrong, but is that not the point of a "universe"? Stick around long enough and there's bound to be stuff you don't care about. Not that it's wrong to prefer something more self-contained. It just sounds like different strokes to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I still like it, but I do worry at a certain point it's going to be both so big and so interconnected it'll be impossible to understand for anyone but the most diehard fans. That's what happens to actual comic books after all, once in a while they need a massive event to start from scratch because no one can keep up anymore.

I definitely do dislike how characters are getting less and less attention. Even big names like Strange and Spider-man have to share their movies with a dozen other people and plots, instead of just letting us spend time with them for a bit. The reason people got attached to the OG Avengers was because we actually got to know them.

You are in good company, OP.

This.

Part of the reason why Black Panther became the huge cultural phenomenon it did was that it had a solid stand-alone story that didn't depend on reference to other movies and shows. The references were there but not central to enjoyment of the film or understanding of the stakes involved.

[meadowphoenix]

I don't think you do to enjoy a single movie, in all honesty, but I do think it's harder to enjoy a single hero/character, and I agree that's annoying.

As a fandom person I would have liked interconnectivity, but it doesn't make sense. Plots can't stand as their own and they can't stand as part of the universe. I was interested in last Spiderman because of older spiders, but this movie is just bad.
And it doesn't appeal to casual viewer, same as Marcel comics do not appeal to casual reader

co-signed. I'm always unhappy about my relationship with MCU/Marvel TV shows because I'm always behind. It takes some of the joy out of the fandom for me. I don't mind if characters cross paths in each other's shows, but Marvel's doing it too much. If major character development or plot happens in one show and another show depends on that to be appreciated, I end up liking fewer of the shows.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh hell yeah. It's mostly killed my interest in the MCU. I liked it much better when we got one or two Marvel movies a year.

[(Anonymous)]

The comics are interconnected, so to me, it makes sense that the MCU would be as well.
Just like the comics, it can get frustrating to follow stories and/or characters you don't necessarily care about, so I hear you, OP.

Personally, I prefer the MCU over the comics because I don't have to spend $2.99+ per issue of every comic related to a particular story or character I like.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I felt like I was fine up through Endgame without having seen everything (or having seen everything in order). I still understood what was going on.* Moving forward... we'll see. It's not even about spending the money to get Disney+, it's that I don't WANT to watch the TV shows. I just have no interest.

*I would add that not having seen all the movies isn't the same as having no idea what happened in them. I saw the trailers, read reviews, saw discussions, etc., so I wasn't completely lost about the stuff I had passed on and I felt the movies I did see had been doing a decent job of introducing the characters and concepts brought in from other movies.

I really love All Might, and part of the reason is him being the ideal hero, as boring as that can be considered. Before MHA came out, the description of All Might made me think he was going to be one of those now run of the mill “hero turns out to be awful” characters. Or at least way more flawed than people in-story think he is.

And in a way, he did turn out to be flawed, but I think it was in a good way. He turns out to be sickly, and only able to be this Superman archetype for hours at a time. But he still persevered at the expense to his health, even after passing on One for All to Izuku, out of a genuine want to help people. He turned out to be deserving out the praise he gets, because he wants to do the right thing and save people above all else. He’s still bumbling from time to time, is probably not as good of a teacher as his other UA colleagues, and did let Izuku down when he told him he couldn’t be a hero without a quirk at first. But he realized how wrong it was to qualify a hero based on whether they had super powers after he saw Izuku try anyways.

I like very flawed heroes, anti-heroes, and villains as characters a lot too, but sometimes I feel like a return to Superman types is fun and welcome to me. They have less flaws, so I get that they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. But characters like All Might are almost comforting to me. Plus, his fight with All For One was really cool in both manga and anime!
