Re the Marvel movies. I think it’s becoming like actual comics where you watch what you like and kind of ignore the rest.

When the marvel movies started, everyone that cared watched every single thing and I know they want to keep it like that but that’s not how comics really work for most people.

I read X-Men and Spider-man but I never read an issue of Thor or Doctor Strange. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have made them, just that they weren’t for me.

The shows and movies are starting to do that. There’s a main through line but if you don’t want to watch Ms Marvel, that’s fine. Moon Knight not your thing? Ok.
