Are they asking you to empathize?

Their opinions matter too. If you don't like them, leave them be. If they get in your face, then by all means say you're a fan or whatever, but people are allowed to express opinions that you don't like.

If it's really just haters, I agree. I decided I'd had my fill of the MCU twelve years ago, and haven't spared it any thought since. Not complaining is super easy when you do not care.

But if one does actually care about a franchise, there can be such a thing as too much content. It becomes expensive to keep track of everything unless you turn to piracy, and if you have to watch a show/movie about characters you don’t like just to understand what's happening with the ones you're actually interested in, I'd say you're allowed to complain.

From someone who was, ages ago, part of Star Wars fandom...

At some point, when a franchise becomes that overwhelmingly ubiquitous, choosing not to watch a new installment IS NOT ENOUGH. You still like the concept, participate in fandom, write fics for a popular pairing, whatever, you're still connected to the fandom enough that Just Not Watching That Movie isn't enough to prevent fatigue. Everyone around you is still talking about it, meme-ing it, all the fans consuming your works are leaving comments wondering whether you'll include New Movie development, your communities and chats are all shifting to it. You have no choice, it is literally either embrace the new thing or leave the fandom wholesale. MCU, like Star Wars, is so fandom-culture-consuming that if you stop enjoying it, the only safe way to get on with life is to leave the fandom entirely. Which is valid, but also sucks if you really liked what fandom used to offer you before New Movie came along.

The media itself isn’t an issue, it’s very easy to skip. The problem is the fans who believe everyone is as invested as they are. If not for them, it would be easy to forget the franchise ever existed.

I'm tired of MCU haters demanding they stop making the movies, and same with The Simpsons too, if you no likey then no watchy, but let those of us who enjoy them in peace.

[(Anonymous)]

I would like to enjoy MCU movies. The fact that everything is a tie-in to everything else is one of the annoying bits that makes it hard for me to.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, not everyone who complains of MCU fatigue is a hater-- there are definitely fans who want to enjoy SOME MCU content because they love it and are excited for it, what they don't love is that they feel like to watch the one movie they're excited about, they have to make sure they're caught up on every other thing, and it's hard to know if you really NEED to slog through a show or movie you don't vibe with in order to understand the one you're hype for.

And while some people will complain that the MCU is flat and same-y, it is true that there are different tones to different projects-- so someone who is into the lighter and more humorous things might not want to have to sit through Secret Wars just because they think they'll need that to understand the next... I don't know, Ant Man? Whereas someone else is going to want to watch the darker/heavier stuff and not feel like they need to sit through a funny one to get one piece of information that will help their thing make sense.

A thing I like has degraded to the point I no longer like it.

Fuck you of course I'm going to complain about that.

Disney isn't spending Actual Billions of dollars on marketing for "well just don't watch then" to be a viable escape from the hype machine.

Also opportunity cost is a thing. If movie execs are putting all the funding into a couple mega-budget MCU CGI bonanzas, that's like 10 fun interesting midbudget movies that never get made any more because they're not Sure Bets like MCU is. It sucks so much of the air out of the room, and for people who like other stuff, that's a shame.

[(Anonymous)]

Its the MCU's own fault for pissing out a stupid amount of movies in a short amount of time - leading to a majority of 'meh' movies instead of trying to make anything with quality.
Also the obscene amount of cgi used in those movies, due to the lack of union protection for the people in those industries, is a bit fucked up. Especially when its been SO many movies in a short amount of time that's barely ever made for actual long-term enjoyment.

MCU has irrevocably changed the landscape of movies. They are meant to be pure spectacle, to overwhelm you, to build hype and hype and hype and then... Unless it becomes your hyperfixation, you probably stop caring about it thirty minutes after you watch it.

This thread goes into it better than I could tbh.

Bad idea. Don't kick those rocks. Skip 'em.

[(Anonymous)]

I stopped watching MCU movies after Age of Ultron.

I still inevitably get them stuffed down my throat in a way or the other by simply trying to exist on the internet. It doesn't matter how many words I blacklist and users I mute, somehow there's always something that slips through the cracks and ends up entering my unwitting sight, no matter how much I try to curate my own experience to the best of my abilities.

So, sorry OP, I'll keep complaining about MCU fatigue methinks.

I'd love a Finn movie, but I don't want him to be a Jedi. Not everyone has to be.

Sorry to hear that reading a trigger warning ruined the book for you. Maybe we should precede any trigger warnings with "trigger warning: trigger warnings" so that you know to avoid reading them in the future.

Wait, are the ff authors themselves doing this or are other people printing and selling their work?
