Re: Why do Marvel films have legs? Yep. BP is different similar to WW last year. MCU movies are getting frontloaded and that's a fact.

Re: Why do Marvel films have legs? To add on to what they said, outside of The Avengers and Iron Man, none of these movies have much replay value. It's basically turned into, "Okay, I got to see this one to understand the next one and the last was good enough to get me back for more. Okay, got it. That was fine. Bring me the next one!" That applies to Black Panther for me as well, but I think I'll be in the minority on that one.  _________________My DVD Collection

That's ridiculous. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Why do Marvel films have legs? At the time yes. As we go on, no.
To be fair though, if I did add a third film on the list Guardians would be it.

Re: Why do Marvel films have legs? Guardians is the one film that many people I know like who don't like/don't want to watch the other Marvel films. It did not get better legs than Iron Man for no reason.

Re: Why do Marvel films have legs? Lol yes. The only one you “need” to see for Black Panther is Civil War. And they even recap that movie for you in case you haven’t.

Re: Why do Marvel films have legs? Yeah no need to watch any movie to understand BP which was a very smart decision by Disney.
