    I was done with the whole genre after watching just about everything leading up to Endgame. Once that saga closed I’ve seen like 2 superhero related things and just can’t muster the energy to watch it. Even seemingly great movies like the Spider-Man stuff, particularly Into the Spiderverse looks awesome but I’m just so done with it all. That said it’s not like I consume all that many movies outside superhero stuff either so yeah.

          Cliffhanger is a generous term for “the movie doesn’t have a 3rd act”

          Don’t get me wrong, I liked it but it just kind of stops instead of ends

            People saying it’s a terrific movie are being incredibly misleading. Across the Spiderverse is 100% setup, 0% payoff.

      I was done the moment I realised they weren’t brave enough to be experimental with their formula and tone/vibe. I think the high points were Iron man (1) / Winter Soldier / Ragnorok / Endgame / Loki (TV) … because they all did something new for the genre. Everything else has been bland, or, sadly IMO, had fans decry it for not being a comic book movie (looking at MCU fans criticising Eternals).

      At this point the only thing I’m interested in is the Loki series everything else I just can’t muster the energy/desire to want to watch.

        Loki had my interest until the last episode of season one. Now I’m worried season two will be an extended trailer for Kang Dynasty.
