    i dont understand how people keep up with the MCU stuff. I'm a milennial gen z cusp and even before the first movie of the current avengers era had come out (which i think was iron man), I was already a little fatigued with the MCU, which had already produced 3 spidermans, 2 hulk movies with different bruce banners and 3 xmen movies and not to mention lesser MCU movies like ghost rider, daredevil and electra or the DC movies like the nolan batmans and the superman movies. Im not even that old but i feel throughly saturated by this market.

    also the barrier of entry into the new MCU movies are too high with how quickly they produce stuff so it hard to think that these movies are meant for anyone else but hyper intense fans

    also that period where they changed spiderman every few years, only for none of the new spidermans to be able to top toby mcguire's was brain numbing (i havent seen intro to the spideyverse though so maybe Miles Morales is the best)

    i still think its funny though how i saw the first hulk with my school in like 3rd grade, the second hulk with my first middle school boyfriend where i had my first kiss and the third when i was in college

          Hulk (2003) and The Incredible Hulk (2008) are the only live action Hulk movies and The Incredible Hulk is the only one that's actually in the MCU.

        sorry I think i meant hulk as the 3 separate hulk actors (eric bana -2003, edward norton -2008, + mark ruffalo -2012) rather than 3 seperate hulk movies /// that sentence was weirdly constructed but also my mind might have just invented a 3rd hulk movie that never happened lol

        this is the cost of MCU fatigue folks !

          I can see people making Ragnarok "The Hulk 3" but that would have made your break between High School and College just super long. That's why I was confused. It's also a result of the "the first and second Hulk" being an ambiguous statement in this context. There's no MCU fatigue if you ask me. If you can follow Star Trek or Star Wars you can follow the MCU.

      Toby was and always was dogshit lmao i love tom holland. Im in the exact same age bracket you mentioned too so idk if its an age thing.

      with that said, i do think MCU is over rated and the barrier to entry is way to high! I can say that as I watched a good 3/4 of them and my roomates are marvel psychos who think it’s absolutely godly (i had mild wandavision crit and they hounded tf outa me)

        i also have a soft spot for tom holland's spiderman because the actor/character seems super charming!

        I think what makes me love toby's spidey is the campiness : the horrible 2000s fashion, MJ's horribly dyed and untoned cherry red hair complete with the lil side bangs + the green limited too robe dress , the laughable showcase of the post 911 brain worms where every time toby spiderman lands on a building theres a stupid relatively horribly CGI-d american flag rippling behind him, peter parker randomly becoming an emo incel in the 3rd movie, ICONIC IMO

          dont forget doc oc check notes literally breaking into a cartoonishly large bank vault and carrying large hatch bags with dollar signs in them. LMAO how tf is doc oc gunma goto the uranium dispenser ( or whatever material they do fusion with in this world idr with a sac of cash?? or the metal materials to make his reactor??? what was the end goal of the sentient tentacles like it seemed like they knew it was a suicide mission to keep doing it? they seemed to literally talk to him as an Ai. so many questions lmao

          while i like them in the way I like The room or something equally cheesy its not like good hahah
