Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie • Page 100

Yeah there is so much out there that I just watch the same shows over and over because it’s a wee bit overwhelming

 

this is partially due to the binge problem though haha

 

I've basically just allowed myself to stop caring if I'm "in the conversation" or not. And instead just watch and consume movies, and TV, and comics, when I can on my own schedule. It's been freeing to just get to it on my own timeframe and work my way through it all at my own pace. Sure, I'm way behind, but I've just told myself it doesn't matter. I'll see Endgame late if I see it late, I'll miss the arguments and being part of "the dialogue," I'll be a season behind in a TV show I like but only have time to watch one episode every few days. I just kinda had to just pull back, cause the stress of needing to see something RIGHT NOW, ended up making the entire endeavor less fun, and I want less stress not extra stress over entertainment in my life.

 

Of course time-shifting factors in as well considering DVR is a thing, but I think the difference there is that people are making the conscious choice to bank episodes and binge all at once, whereas with the binge dump model you don't really have the choice. You can either rush through the entire season as fast as possible so as not to miss the discourse or you can move at your own pace and then have nobody to talk about the show with because they've all moved on to the next thing.

And that isn't even reaching the mentally overwhelming nature of having days where multiple full seasons of shows go up at the same time. I know for me at least, there are like so many different full seasons of shows that I have sitting in my list on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. that the idea of even attempting to make a dent in them is so daunting that I never start. Whereas with shows I watch week-to-week as they air, stuff like The Righteous Gemstones (which is great btw) or whatever, I have no problem keeping up even if I have to watch the next day or something.

 

I have so much different shows to consume that I just can’t handle it anymore so I’m ok with week to week.

plus a lot of the youtube channels I follow have started to move towards daily videos and I’m just like UGHHH

 

I don’t watch tv for discussions, I watch it for my enjoyment of the art itself and for whatever it speaks to my soul.

Now do I go on to discuss that with others? Of course!

Binge watching allows me to watch when I can and week to week just opens up the possibility that I fall behind due to whatever circumstances and then I feel like just waiting for the end of a season anyway.

The week to week with LOST kind of sucked looking back. It allowed so many stupid people to spew the worst theories and ideas about the show. It was so obnoxious.

Just give me it all at once and allow me to consume as I want to. Some shows I do go a little slower on. Others are practically written as one long story, so watching them quickly makes more sense. Stranger Things 3 was basically a very long movie in a lot of ways.

And oh, fuck! I’m remember that one idiot in the BrBa thread who would say the most inept stupid shit questions and theories and it would have been answered in an already aired episode. I swear to god he didn’t actually watch the show. He just read Wikipedia or something. Ugh. Discussion is secondary at best for me.

Maybe that’s selfish. But I primarily care about what the art reflects to and in me.

 

Mad Men is maybe my favorite show, definitely top 3 at least, and I’m glad I saw most of it week to week. At the end of each episode I was thinking so much about it I needed time, and episodes lent themselves well to being presented singularly, as opposed to running the risk of blending together by watching three in a row

 

It's interesting how some people find that they miss or forget certain things when binge watching. I'm the exact opposite. By the time I get to the next episode after a week, I may have completely forgotten smaller details from the previous episode, vs having it fresh in my mind when watching back to back

 

My long-term retention is significantly better for weekly shows than for shows I binge. More time to process what I saw before the next one.

 

THIS. I basically stopped recapping or reviewing TV shows because it was starting to feel like a chore. I'm super behind on 2019 music, but I also have way more interests now than I did when I was making myself listen to like 100 new albums a year, which also started to feel like a chore. Trying to get myself to be okay with letting it go was difficult, but felt so much better once I actually did. Although, I have about 1200 miles to drive over this holiday weekend so maybe I can catch up on some new music then.

 

one step closer to young avengers show

 

Now she doesn’t make it clear who said that to her and whether or not they represent Marvel, but Marvel is implicated regardless.

 

Reading how she worded it, it doesn’t seem like anyone from Marvel told her that. Probably her agent or a casting agency.

 

Yeah, they’ve taken their time and could still be better, but Marvel have been more open minded in recent years and I can’t imagine them saying that to anyone. Definitely stinks of some shitty ex-agent or ex-advisor being a dick.

 

Finally saw Far From Home. Dug it but honestly I’m glad he’s leaving the MCU.

 

I just realized all of the white people on Iron Man’s team in Civil War are no longer in the MCU (Iron Man, Vision, Black Widow and Spider-Man)

Rhodes and T’Challa are the only two still around. Lol
