But the problem is, all of my hobbies are filled with people who get all sweaty when some obscure bubblegum character gets their own feature film. So I'm constantly having the same conversation "OH DID YOU SEE JESSICA JONES? I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING IN 9 MINUTES", "ah, no, missed that one." and then they say GOD DAMN over and over again while wiggling their eyebrows at me.
Then comes the evangelists... DID YOU WATCH UMBRELLA ACADEMY? no, it doesn't seem like my cup of tea. BUT YOU GOTTA CHECK IT OUT. You know, I don't get into the superhero stuff that much. THIS IS DIFFERENT, IT'S REALLY CHARACTER DRIVEN. yeah but uhhhh so is the Full House reboot, have you seen that?
100% this. I have a friend who's fanatical about the MCU. I listen to her ramble in a chatroom and I think "Ok. But why do I care?" This is a woman who sees movies on a near constant basis, tries to get tickets day-one, and bemoans the loss of the Good Old Days™ while still singing the praises of Infinity War and Black Panther. Aside from her incessant "Did you see this? You should. Its good. Are you gonna see it?" nattery, she just exudes this...gluttony, for lack of a better word, about it all.
Sure, Infinity War is a neat idea. The thought of all these characters coming together is swell. Black Panther exists? Whee, more black superheroes (Static Shock is better anyway
). But again, I wonder, "why do I care?" Why do I want to see the Avengers team up with the Guardians of The Galaxy? I don't care about most of these characters, and the ones I care about, I don't really
care about. Do I care because the stakes are so high? This is capeshit; no matter how many times Thanos snaps his big shiny glove, characters are just going to come back in another movie because multiverse shenanigans, or their own standalone films. Their deaths mean zilch.
The thing that really chafes my cloaca about capeshit, at least and especially where the MCU is involved, is the absolute glut of media we get.
The MCU had 2 films in '08, 1 film in '10, 2 films in '11, 1 film in '12, 2 films in '13 to '16, 3 films in '17 and '18, and at least 3 this year. That's 20+ movies in just over 10 years! And that's not counting any of the comics, short films, or TV shows (whose plots, of course, serve some importance to the overall story and character development and yadda yadda).
The DCEU had 1 film in '13, 2 films in '16 and '17, and 1 in '18. That's 6 movies over 5 years. The MCU has almost 4x the movies in just double the time!
The DCEU might have had some flops in there (Suicide Squad, plus I just personally don't understand the logic of casting Jason Momoa as Aquaman), and the MCU movies range from okay to spectacular in quality and sales, but
sweet Jesus tapdancing Christ I don't get how the fandom doesn't get utterly burned out on this shit.
Maybe that's an indicator of how much "better" Marvel is, and it's a move that's paid off for them, but I don't want to watch that many movies just to understand what the funny men in CGI capes are doing. Going back to my obsessive friend; you wonder why I complain about how many movies there are?
Because screw you, that's why! 
...that is all.
