Good analysis on why MCU films have leggy runs

Yep. BP is different similar to WW last year. MCU movies are getting frontloaded and that's a fact.

To add on to what they said, outside of The Avengers and Iron Man, none of these movies have much replay value. It's basically turned into, "Okay, I got to see this one to understand the next one and the last was good enough to get me back for more. Okay, got it. That was fine. Bring me the next one!"

That applies to Black Panther for me as well, but I think I'll be in the minority on that one. ;)

You don't think the original Guardians of the Galaxy has tremendous replay value for most people? That's ridiculous.

At the time yes. As we go on, no.

To be fair though, if I did add a third film on the list Guardians would be it.

Guardians is the one film that many people I know like who don't like/don't want to watch the other Marvel films. It did not get better legs than Iron Man for no reason.

Lol yes. The only one you “need” to see for Black Panther is Civil War. And they even recap that movie for you in case you haven’t.

Yeah no need to watch any movie to understand BP which was a very smart decision by Disney.
