If Disney would have just come out of the blue with a new science fiction TV show in an I Love Lucy style comedy setting, I would be the first to appreciate that risky venture.

But this is Marvel. There is no gamble. Despite what people are saying, there is no risk, no re-definition, this is not ground-breaking. It's just freaking Marvel. They can do I whatever they want, cram as many genres as they want into the M'C'U, and legions of fans-the same ones who dubbed the visual slop that was Avengers Endgame one of the greatest movies ever-will show up anyway to get their superhero high. Even worse, these shows are degrading and/or killing off classic movie and TV genres with these hollow attempts to do something 'new', and actual, better works in the genre will be ignored because people get dumbed down by these stupid superheroes.

No need to watch westerns when you can watch Logan. No need to watch heist movies when you can watch Ant-Man. No need to watch war movies when you can watch Captain America or Wonder Woman. No need to watch comedies when you can watch the Marvel movies. No need to watch action movies when you can watch superheroes.

This is as much a criticism of superhero obsessions as it is the people who are making movies nowadays. If this seems more like a rant instead of a review, that's because it is one.
