Not sure why you are being so defensive of this children's movie franchise

I'm sorry but you're just incorrect, the MCU is nothing more than a repetitive cash cow where they crank out the same basic movie over and over again. There is no overall story to it or any larger purpose other than to make money and sell merchandise, hence there is no real continuity.

The movie was more than a bit of a mess (though i loved it). To me the film had a few simple messages (in addition to the history of hollywood stuff that i'll pass over for this comment)

-how people get sucked in and intoxicated by Hollywood/movie making

-how Hollywood uses, abuses, and largely destroys the people that get sucked in

-movies are freaking awesome, so is all this grossness and evil worth it in the name of the art? (i think Chazelle leaves this one as a question, but think his answer is yes)

I really enjoyed the Toby stuff, but the movie would have been much tighter without it all

>There is no real continuity, all it is is retelling the same basic story over and over again in every movie

Thank you for proving that you can't follow the continuity.

I already knew you couldn't, but you just confirmed it.

>You don't have to follow all the MCU movies to be able to watch any one of them. You can watch them out of order. They are designed this way

Wrong. They are designed so that they are enjoyable if you watch them individually. But if you watch them sequentially, in the order they came out, and you remember what happened before, then you will be rewarded with developing character arcs, relationships, worldbuilding, etc.

The fact that you don't know this (and won't even consider it) tells me you never even gave it a chance, you never will give it a chance, and you're upset that so many people enjoy something that you, for some reason, can't.
