I hate it when I see a movie of a novel before reading the novel and the movie casting forever overrides how I picture the characters.z

Definitely our eyes perceive and process at a certain speed because the theoretical limit would be lower than the frames on a TV or monitor otherwise motion video wouldn't work.

I remember reading a study on this and they found most people imagine the characters to be remarkably similar. It really isn't that surprising to me either. Books can be quite descriptive of a characters physical features. So as long as the writing is detailed enough, readers should have some what similar image in their head of what characters look like. I'm currently unable to find the study again, but will update if I do.
Now as for the scenery you are probably correct. It's a lot harder to describe every detail of a scene.

A love triangle is when two people are competing for the affection of one person. Are you thinking of polyamory or menage a trios?

Spider Man generates a tremendous amount of... white material.. (depending on the canon, it's coming from his body). He must be thirsty AF

Can confirm. I watched the first season of The Expanse before starting to read the novels...I already had the characters' appearance neatly laid out for me. Same with Harry Potter--saw the movies first. The books, however, were absolutely superior to the films.

P.S. I'm being stupid for the funny factor. Don't think I'm serious.
