The pace of movies is lightning fast to make sure the ADHD TikTok rotten audience isn’t bored for a millisecond. Frances like Marvel and Star Wars have gotten …
This post is slightly ferocious, the point is not to make people mad or be an annoying contrarian. I find myself not really connecting to the MCU the same way others do. I thought it would be fun to highlight my reasons for disliking the MCU. Don’t take it too seriously since it’s only my …
