You may be right. I’m on the fence, though. Marvel has sold tickets to movies hand over fist, and even a bomb by their standards may make a lot more than the average flick.
The kids don’t really care, apparently - Most times, if it says Harry Potter and the [insert exiting reference here], or Star Wars episode MCMXL, they’ll give it a go. (I think Star Wars may have run it’s course, though, since they’ve negated the whole story by Luke turning on his beliefs...) But - you know what I mean.
My sons, both grown and married with children now, feel a compulsion to see every one of these things, and before this last Avengers movie discussed what order in which to re-watch the previous 462 movies. It’s almost an addiction. There are worse addictions.
I was a comic book nut as a kid. Spent all my paper route-coke bottle deposit-lawn mowing money on them and model cars, etc.
I will not ruin my fondest childhood memories on some liberal reinterpretation of what America is, was or will be........................
LOL! Hubby and I did exactly that. He hadn't watched the Captain America movies, so he wanted to watch them. I told him that getting the full Captain America story would require looking at the Avengers Movies as well. Also, I told him we would have to watch Thor:Ragnarok before Infinity War because the last scene of Ragnarok is basically the first scene in Infinity War.
It really isn't an addiction. It is a saga. It has many chapters, and the tale will be complete with the final Endgame movie this April.
Hubby and I actually enjoyed doing this, the total number of movies came to 8.
