Marvel Cinematic Universe
Orkboy:
Saw Ant-Man yesterday. It was a good movie, and the action was fantastic, but the human elements felt a bit ham-handed. Sort of like "hey, this is important, so we will tell you that it is important." Overall, a good flick, but it suffers the problem of all Marvel movies in that it is not The Avengers.
Thrillho:
So. Who else is sick of the sheer writhing mass that is the MCU? There is just so. much. shit. The initial run up to Avengers Assemble was so perfect, and I've only seen a couple of the films since, but I feel like I don't even want to, there's just too much of it. I would just see the big ones, but I feel like you need to see the little ones to truly get everything out of the big ones and then it's just like having five things I want to watch on Netflix and so deciding to watch nothing.

I agree that MCU are getting greedy with the number of spin-offs and only semi-related new films being proposed. It would have been better if they'd remained focussed entirely on the core character group and the main story thread and not succumbed to the temptation to tack on a set of Squirrel Girls to rake in more cash.
Jimmy the Squid:
As someone who is aware of a lot of the source material these films, even the lesser known ones, are based on, I feel pretty good about these films (not that I'm reading every comic out there, but I keep an eye on what's coming out and will check out the wiki pages of stuff I don't know much about.). That said, while I think you don't necessarily have to watch every single film to be able to enjoy the Main Events (so to speak) you do probably get more out of those experiences. I can completely understand how a lot of it may seem at best overwhelming and at worst unnecessary and bloated.
Method of Madness:
Not me, considering that the phase 2 movies were (with the exception of Iron Man 3/Avengers 2) as good or better than their phase 1 counterparts.
