I posted something along the same lines last week concerning Star Wars, but the long and the short is that I’m sick and fucking tired of having to do homework in order to enjoy shit.
The last Marvel thing I watched was that shit with Katherine Hahn. Something After All. Fucked if I can remember what it was called. She’s great, and I enjoyed her in Wandavision, and Wandavision was alright n’all. But halfway through… Agatha! That’s the one. Halfway through that, it became painfully clear that what we were actually tolerating was a prequel for whatever the sequel to Wandavision is going to be. They were never going to wrap up the story adequately, because then they wouldn’t be able to convince people to watch the next shit. And the next shit. And so on.
And that’s fine where it’s just one TV show with a new season every year. But this is EVERY FUCKING THING THEY MAKE. “If you don’t watch these 12 movies, then you won’t really get what’s happening”. FUCK. THAT.
Life’s too short to have to keep up with an expanding web of interconnected stories. The absolute NECK of those cunts, the arrogance of assuming that we’re happy to give up so much of our lives to their mediocre bullshit.
And to make matters worse, they’re all telling basically the same story. And that’s fine in a medium like comics, where you’re reading shit week after week, but it got boring real fuckin’ quick in movie and TV format. Lots of boomy bangs, robots/immortals smashing each other into crumbling concrete, end credits, teaser for the next bullshit.
I felt the same way about “Agatha All Along”, but then it nailed the landing on the ending.
It suffers a little from scenes that are only there to be tie-ins, but most of those scenes are only in the final episode, which is effectively bonus scenes after the satisfying ending of the series in the second to last episode.
I hope they end more series that way, even though I’ll probably watch the extra tie in stuff anyway.
It’s Disney. Fucking Disney.
