    Marvel movie after credit scenes turn moviegoers into unpaid focus groups.

        Get this Thanos Infinity Gauntlet cup that doesn't have a recording device inside it!

          sounds almost as fun as the infinity gauntlet oven mitt that melts when you touch hot stuff with it (why yes ofc, that was actually a thing they sold to people)

      They probably survey thing like the MCU subreddit since thats the main place where the fan cast for CIA jim comes from

            Why? I've only read Ultimate X-Men for gay Colossus and nothing else in the Ultimate canon.

                Oh okay. So like Elon Musk if he was as smart as his fans think.

              Read ultimate spiderman if you can handle capeshit, probably the best outside the art

                I've seen his character in the crossovers and he's connected directly to Miles Morales, right? I'll check it out. I'm so glad comics are a lot more accessible now than they were in 2007 where I had to go to Amazon to purchase a comic CD-Rom.

      Ugh I hate to be the guy defending marvel movies, but is that a bad thing? I don’t see the problem with having a method to figure out what your audience likes and wants more of so that you can make that.

        I think it's cool to be invested in your audience and their wants, but it just feels a little annoying that so many movies have gotten on the bandwagon and I have to go through ten minutes of credits to get the rest of the movie. I'm okay with using ways to find out how to connect with their audience. I just don't like it that the audience they're catering to excludes people like me.

        Also, how dare you point out that I haven't watched the thing I'm complaining about.

        Oh shit. Whoops, lol. Still, though, I hold onto my take that after-credit scenes from Marvel movies damaged my ability to enjoy some otherwise good ones. I feel like years of Marvel's after-credit scenes affected the way current Marvel movies behave now. I feel cued in to pay attention to a reference or scene that is just a hint at another movie. They don't feel like standalone movies. I know that's not the point, but still. But hey, I can acknowledge that this is based on my own personal tastes.

          I do agree that the after credit scenes are bad! Waiting for that follow up tease distracts from digesting the movie you just finished. I sat through them since my friends wanted to

            Totally with you on that. I like to go to the movies by myself and really let the movie sink in as the credits music washes over me and most people shuffle out of the theater. Also gives ample time for my tears to dry if applicable.

            You're a good friend. I like to bring my wireless earbuds after a movie ends so that way I can shut myself in as the credits roll and my friends let me know when the After-Credits thing happens. Processing media is very crucial to me too.
