And thinking everyone should think the same and enjoy the same thing is a big step into fascistic thinking. You might tell yourself that forcing a modicum of thought and intellectual participation on people is for a good cause. But you arent, in these comments at least, a good judge of what intellectual participation is.

Say the guy who thinks everyone who doesnt enjoy the same thing as him is a Trump-voting fascist.

Please. Dont generalise like that. To anyone.

Further, the people who did like it, all told me the same thing, that you need to watch half a dozen other movies first. Why?

Eff that! Those people dont understand superhero comics. Nobody who picks up a Spider-Man comic starts back at the beginning, back in 1962. What makes Marvel comics interesting to those who enjoy Marvel comics is that despite the comic being about one (or a team) superhero, it feels like theres events happening in the background, and past and future events that has happened and shaped the character. Their world feels more alive because you might not know what happened in another comic series but still get references to it. MCU manages to do this in miniature. You CAN watch every movie, but you shouldnt have to. The story stands alone despite there being references to stuff that you might not know about. And that makes it better than DCU movies.

I dont want to go back to boring, stand-alone movies with generic loser action heroes who can do superhero stuff like taking down jet planes despite pretending not to have superhero powers, and a sequel after another sequel then reboot. I mean, someone recently complained about getting tired of the John Wick movies.. Like we've gotten 4 movies. 2 hours every second year isnt something to get tired of.. 7 years of 20 episodes each is getting close to tiresome, if you enjoy it like you said you did.

I want a continious story in a continious world. I find that fun entertainment. And I'm sad that some Oscar-baiting movie producer think this isnt what movies can be.

Jup. Thief 3 had the best horror. No jumpscares, just a sneaking game where you spent many levels training to listen for footsteps and now heard footsteps where there was nobody. One of the few games that has ever scared me.

First and second Amnesia game had some of the same type of horror too. After that they got less and less scary. Don't know why.

Me too.

They cant really have enjoyed the movies much if two hours every second year is too much for them.

Powershell for those that don't like powershell. Good. Pwsh need some competition in the object-piping category.

I'm no fan of those mostly harmless wasps that has a suicidal curiosity and no respect for personal space either. "Oh, look, lets land on this guys neck and tickle him until he tries to scratch it. THEN lets sting him." At least as a kid I could usually hear them sneaking up on me. Not so much anymore.

Yes. What I wish from Marvel television is a buch of different series, different genres, and tones, who still exist in the same world and occasionally interact with each other. Thats what Marvel comics do.

Never heard anyone use megameters either. They either stay on kilometer, or switch to miles. And miles mean different things from one place to the next.

I also just find uBlock Origin supports more advanced features.

Googling it and according to one answer the only difference between uBlock Origin and AdGuard browser extensions is that uBlock has a feature where they can hide stuff instead of completely blocking it. Two comments said AdGuard was the more techy one, and most users would prefer uBlock Origin because of that. A bunch of comments are people who obviously havent tried them both. Some are confusion about the difference between AdGuard desktop program and AdGuard browser extensions.

Maybe better if I just test it for myself.

some of the functionality being locked behind a paywall

The entire desktop app, yes. That does DNS blocking. Not the browser extensions, no blocked features there.

switched back to the free browser extensions for a reason I dont remember anymore.

I remember now. It caused havok with a lot of UWP apps. So I went to browser-extensions only.

If you use say, Firefox for Android, then you don’t have much choice besides uBlock,

Or AdGuard. I run the AdGuard browser extension on my Firefox for Android. It claims to also have one for iOS Safari. It has a paid desktop app, and that one add DNS blocks. I tried it once and paid for a license, but then I switched back to the free browser extensions for a reason I dont remember anymore.
