[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8146308, member: 177"] You are correct - big movies generally contain [I]less[/I] content than the same runtime of TV show. They are spending lots of time on special effects sequences and prolonged fights that TV shows don't. So, those 23 MCU movies are [I]less[/I] than 2-4 seasons of content, really. I am not sure that you're helping the posit that their being intertwined is a problem. Ah. I think you lost the narrative - the "couple of seasons of TV" was [I]the MCU to date[/I]. If you sat and watched it like we watch TV series - an hour or two at a sitting, one or two sittings a week, I don't think anyone would have an issue with the intertwining of the MCU. The plot just ain't that complicated. I can see that people can lose the connections in movies because they are [I]separated in realtime[/I]. If it was a TV show, it would be weeks between linked episodes, but in movies it is years. But that won't apply here, as teh bulk of it is TV content, not movies. Looking at the release schedule - we have the four Avengers-based short series, scheduled one after the other. So it is like you have one episode to watch each week. These are limited series to carry us through the first year of this stuff. The next four we knew about don't have release dates yet - some of them are still casting. We probably won't see them until 2022. And, since these are targeted to a subscription streaming service, you can expect the same kind of schedule - giving you one thing to watch each week, so you have reason to keep subscribed. This won't be hard to follow. Ironheart and such... those are 2023 and later. We can reassess when the time comes. [/QUOTE]
