its a double edged sword, re: shows.

like on the one hand, i think if they had just done spin-offs, people could decide what they were into or not. but on the other hand, they NEED to have everything tied deeply together, or else no one but the actual die-hards would actually watch the shows.

like it was so frustrating watching the third Guardians movie (snuck into the theatre screening, didn't pay for that shit), and literally was like 'who the fuck is that?' 'i thought that person died' 'etc'. and it's like... oh right, didn't watch this or that season of this or that show, or special or whatever.
