    I’ll probably get to it eventually

    I’ve really had superhero overload tho…the enthusiasm just ain’t been the same

    Captain America passed the torch…Black Widow and Iron Man dead…who knows with Black Panther (RIP Chadwick Boseman)

    I think I need a new main villain to get my interest at peak levels again

    They spent years building towards the clash with Thanos. Who’s gonna be the guy now?

    They set him up in Loki. I thought Jonathan Majors did a good job acting as the new big bad guy. Maybe I'm too critical but I thought the writing of the show was frustrating, sloppy, and inconsistent. The idea behind the show was potentially a grand slam but executed in a poor fashion.

    well that sounds disappointing

    Is there any particular order that these shows need to be watched in, or can some just be skipped?

    The COLONIZATION of the word WOKE makes my entire ass itch
    I want to punch Bill Maher everytime he says the word and basterdize the meaning and connotation
    in order to seem "hippily unhip" (I'm hip enough to use the word. . . but i reject it because i'm so smart."

    I would talk about SuperHero movies being played out
    but
    Hollywood has rolled out the same bullshit ROMCOMS for going on 6 decades
    Let's chill .. . .
    If you don't like them . . . go watch The Notebook or A Star is Born or 50 Shades, Nancy!! - Man yelling at the Cloud LOL

    Just to make the point about their one-note symphony, this was the headline that came across my Google News today from "cosmicbook.news":

    I'm still giving the season a shot but I'll need more from marvel to be drawn into depowered hero stories.

    Thought Falcon set a decent tone (tons of fan service helped) but wouldn't watch it again
