10 Ways The MCU Isn't For You Anymore

10. You Need To Watch EVERYTHING

Recently, watching films in the MCU is starting to feel like a chore.

Even though Captain Marvel received less than glowing reviews, people flocked to the cinema to see it. But Marvel fans weren't watching Captain Marvel because they wanted to. Because the film came out one month before Avengers: Endgame, moviegoers felt like they would miss out on the overarching story if they didn't check it out.

This has become such an issue, even the Marvel actors find the franchise confusing.

Michael Douglas couldn't follow the script for Ant-Man and the Wasp upon his first reading because he didn't know the titular hero appeared in Captain America: Civil War. As a result, the Oscar-winning actor had to watch the Captain America sequel to understand what had happened in between both Ant-Man films.

This problem is snowballing since the Disney+ shows and the films are intersecting more and more. If you don't have Disney's streaming service or haven't watched WandaVision, you are going to have SERIOUS problems following Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, for example, since the stories are fundamentally interwoven.

Because of this, you can't help feeling like you are sometimes watching a MCU feature out of obligation, rather than enjoyment.
