        do kids even watch these shows? a lot of gen z is too young to remember when Avengers is in theatres, i doubt they care about these extra shows exploring side characters. My guess is kids watch the mainline movies but would prefer YouTube/TikTok over binging a superhero drama. Its a little sad to think about, but the target audience probably is adults in their mid 20s-30s. My workplace consists mostly of 18-30 year olds and only the older guys mention Marvel stuff

        actually, now that i think about it, half the plot of the ant man film was about Paul Rudd trying to win the love of his daughter after his wife remarried, a lot of capeshit is targeted to grown ass adults now

          one of my assistant supervisors (not actual job title, but vaguely accurate) lives a pretty sad life. Has trouble making friends, not very good at his job (worked 7 years or so to get to a position that his peers got to in 1-3), can't stand up to his boss, and he treats anything that happens to him like the end of the world. And he's the biggest Marvel fan. As far as I'm concerned, he's the exact target demographic of these shows, and I swear that talking about capeshit is the only thing that brings him joy
