Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

I've been complaining about this for a while, but Disney has not been giving fans a chance to catch up with its theatrical release schedule. Since Shang-Chi, Marvel has released 9 films back-to-back, each one ending its theatrical run before the previous film was available on Disney+. I know this because I missed seeing Shang-Chi in the theaters, and didn't want to see anything that might have spoilers. This gets especially complicated when the TV shows tie into the movies, so you end up putting off entire seasons for months, avoiding discussion forums and Marvel memes for fear of spoilers.
Add to that the mixed quality of their movies, and it really killed any momentum they had even among die-hard fans like myself.
I'm finally caught up now, and think Deadpool and Wolverine could save the entire MCU, but I really hope they stick with the reduced frequency. That, or bring the movies to streaming faster.
If they want people to get excited about a shared cinematic universe, they should reward fans with tie-ins rather than punishing them for failing to keep up.
