I lover Andor! I'm almost finished the series.
Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread
- Thread starter bbjeg
- Start date
Is it odd nothing burns me out when it comes to video media?
I’ve watched every MCU movie and series since they started, and I still look forward to the next one. Same with Star Wars
I do get burned out with reading and playing video games, but not when it comes to tv/movies
Edit: well that’s not entirely true. I did stop watching NCIS for about 4 years because I got bored. But I came back to it about 5 years ago
So far the only MCU projects I’ve disliked are Secret Invasion and Iron Man 2

Agreed completely (aside from enjoying Iron Man 2).
Certain people here complain about a mountain of content to keep up with, but I only see that as a daunting task if you're starting from scratch now. Even then, you can still break up things in different ways, whether by each phase or by each character or by each team. None of it is a requirement but of course there will be ongoing story and character arcs playing out, because that's how serialization works.
Regardless, there was hardly ever a time in the MCU's history that offered a fire hose of content coming at you all at once to make you feel overwhelmed.
I also no longer go to the theatre (haven't since December 2019), so there is a large gap for me between the movies since I wait for them to hit Disney+. Sometimes I rent them if I can't wait any longer.
SW isn't exactly a firehose of content at this moment. Now that Andor's done, the only thing they still have coming out this year (that I know of) is Visions season 3, and that's not even canon!
( I'm not including books/comics/games/toys, just watchable stuff )
Maybe I'll have time to catch up. Is The Mandalorian period of shows done know or are there more coming?
Ahsoka season 2 and the movie The Mandalorian and Grogu are still to come. And we don't know yet whether Skeleton Crew will get a second season, though it was pretty popular, so I'm hopeful.
Plenty more.
As long they keep making MCU, Star Trek, and Star Wars content, I will keep seeing it.
I tried Andor several times. It put me to sleep.
Instead of trusting 3 organizations that have been around since 1900. If you believe people who post true, false and fabricated rumors on the internet, you really need to question what you believe.
Insiders Cast Doubt On The Veracity Of Variety's Claims In Recent Marvel Studios' "Hit Piece"
Variety recently took aim at Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but several reliable sources have since cast doubt on the trade's claims, suggesting it may be an orchestrated hit piece.comicbookmovie.com
Look; when people who do this kind of internet journalism 'put forward a rumor that makes sense', I say yes it can happen. But you have to be a blind fanboy not to see Marvel's bad trend.
This "Bad Trend" is exactly what happened in the Post-Avengers 1 period. Folks were saying Phase 2 was overall a slump and aside from Guardians and Winter Soldier the whole thing was subpar. Then Phase 3 happens and poof, naturally folks forget all the stuff they said.
As the MCU continues to expand, I've been finding that the best way to experience it isn't to try and be a completionist, but to instead focus on individual parts of it.
That way I don't become obsessed with the negative.
As far as any 'downward trend' goes, I believe at this point, for better or for worse, that the MCU itself has become "too big to fail".

As a 27-year-old antisocial young man, I must say that judging by what you said, the kids are probably either introverts or homosexuals.Yes. Didn't wanna act like a prying uncle but I did bring it up then and now.
But I've stopped after most answers culminated in "just don't want the hassle" or "its too much".
In turn, every time I get online there is some article or blog post about "the male lonliness epidemic" or "largest number of under 30s aren't having sex at all" "or "women can't find good men to date".
That's why it doesn't make sense to me.
See that's the thing. I've lamented here before about that - my daughters have a very active social life or whatever passes for it nowadays.
They both doomscroll and go out with friends in equal measures.
But nothing romantic at all.
You're right, they are. We hosted a few international friends of theirs over the years.
Yeah I am not talking about pressure, I am talking about natural interest. Nobody has that now.
You're right, maybe I am holding on to something I should learn to let go.
