I didn't see a thread like this anywhere in recent memory so I thought I'd see if this interested people at all.
This is arguably (hell, it IS) the most ambitious and successful film franchise of all time. With the average intake of each film now at well over half a billion dollars, over the span of 14 movies, and no sign of slowing down, Marvel is the reigning champ of action and sci-fi for the 2010s. With no critical review averages dipping below the mid- to low-70's on RottenTomatoes, they're not just another Transformers, they've got enough substance to impress critics and audiences alike.
They've also branched into television to expand the continuity. This isn't unheard of with things like Stargate and other films-turned-television shows, but none have continued this long while in pace with the still-active film franchise, or with as many different simultaneous ongoing shows like ABC's Agents of SHIELD and the cancelled Agent Carter, and the Netflix lineup of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the Defenders, among others being announced.
So, what's your take on this rampaging giant of film and television? Good or bad, let's hear it.

Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
