  1. @scribus Level of investment?

    Every once in a while I try to watch one of those MCU movies as I really loved the comics. I randomly picked one like a week ago and saw The Incredible Hulk, huge mistake. Truth is that they constantly seem to be mudding up a memory of something I love somehow, leaving loose ends for the fans to figure out, but they do this so blatantly that they might as well have flashy lights pointing out 'look at this sheeple movie-goers, this will be important later'. That or just making a reference for the comic fans. Purple Pants in The Incredible Hulk for instance.

    So in short, the entire MCU is like fanfiction, but fanfiction that is self-aware and on dad-levels of meta.

    Then why do I watch it? Well I like the universe, I like the superheroes.

    Do I hate myself for watching these movies when I know they can not possibly be really enjoyable for me? I do not know T_T. Just gonna wait for the exception I think. I mean Blade was a proper homage for starters.
