Topic	The Funko Pop bubble has burst? over $30 million in Funko Pops sent to landfills
adjl 03/05/23 10:42:51 AM #38:	ParanoidObsessive posted... But I honestly have no interest in any of the Disney+ shows, and no real intention of watching any of the new MCU movies. For me, the franchise ended with Phase 3 (with Far From Home and No Way Home being the only post Endgame movies I've bothered with). My issue with the post-Endgame stuff isn't necessarily that I don't expect it to be good, it's that there's just too bloody much of it that any time I think I might want to explore it I get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content I'm interested in and just go do something else instead. It's pretty much impossible to keep up with everything worth watching if I only watch it casually, a problem that gets worse with each passing month as new things are released for me to be behind on. I want to watch No Way Home, but for that, I've got Homecoming and Far From Home to get through. I want to watch Dr. Strange 2, but for that I've got all the Spider-man stuff, and I believe also Wandavision and Loki. I want to watch Quantumania, but I haven't seen any of the pre-Endgame Ant-man movies and I believe Dr. Strange 2 also provides important background. Even the more stand-alone stuff like Moon Knight or Eternals, I end up feeling bad about watching instead of working toward stuff that I'd consider higher-priority, so I put them off until I can catch up on the rest of the backlog. There's just so much coming out all the time and all of it is billed as an investment into a bigger picture, so even though I'd like to check out that bigger picture, it's just more than I can keep up with without treating it like an obligation. It also doesn't help that I've outright stopped going to movies since the pandemic hit, so any hype around a movie's initial release has died down by the time I could stream it. The modern MCU is basically falling into the same trap that comics themselves have, in that I'm interested in exploring it, but doing so "properly" involves such a large investment into previous material to help understand and appreciate what's going on that I just don't. I'm sure I'd enjoy it if I did force myself to dig into it all properly, but that's just more of a hurdle than I'm really motivated to get over when I have plenty of other entertainment options that are equally enjoyable but much more accessible. There's still plenty that can be milked from the MCU, but when I'm sitting here with 27 empty glasses of milk and the table keeps filling up with more, I'm just going to walk away and get some water instead. Rotpar posted... Disney bringing everything down? I'm not surprised, especially since they seem committed to their s*ty ideology, damn the consequences.
