The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.
Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

shrug I don't know why you need to get on people's cases about this. They're equating this to cheap candy bars, ffs. They know. We know they know.
But you still should. There's no point in ragging on folks for liking a thing you don't like, even if we can say that it's cheap and lazy and bad at an objective level.
Given how the franchise has slumped since Infiniti War, it feels like you're kicking a dead horse. The production of these films is getting slowed down as their ratings tank out. "The Marvels" brought in a pathetic $6.6M its opening day. The Barbie Movie and Oppenheimer both proved people are interested in different slop. Finding the last guy on Reddit who is still into this shit and yelling at them... like, why, bro?
Have to say, though - very disapointed we got Monica Rambeau but it's not Nextwave.
I'm still enjoying the Miles Morales Spiderverse movies, more than anything because the art direction is so good.
But it hurts to see quality characters wasted like this.
Wait is this film also US military propaganda like the first Captain Marvel?
It's Marvel, so probably. But I think it was more about tying in a bunch of Netflix properties.
