It's the final episode. People will go to see it.

Weren’t you just complaining about th Bye being universally loved in that other thread?

Not really. The Star Wars OT is universally loved.

But word of mouth drives things here more than any marketing campaign. SW gets tv ads here whereas MCU films don’t.
It’s weird.
It really doesn’t matter to any of us, both sagas are coming to an end and we don’t make or lose anything from it either way. But the reason I askedt, Is it all that fractured? (I don’t believe it is) and if it is what effect will that have?

the critic reviews were very good (not 100% good, but good) and the fan experience was extremely positive, which is what is relevant to this conversation. For the audience who wanted to see Infinity War it delivered what they wanted, and created a genuine pop culture moment. There was next to know public 'backlash' against it, and you won't find videos talking about how Infinity War was unfaithful to the prior MCU story, mistreated characters, etc.

Please don't do this, Stip.

You've been away so long you probably have no idea but it's just not worth it. I promise.

They both have enormous reach in the US, but I think globally the MCU is generally more popular - especially in places that may not have been steeped in American pop culture when Star Wars was becoming Star Wars.

Basically China loves the MCU and doesn't give a shit about Star Wars

Now that’s the real question. Well played.
