I'm so far behind on the movies / TV that I want to watch (not to mention the MCU movies I should watch) that I'll probably sit this one out in spite of your recommendation to give it a shot.

Here's why I'm suddenly fatigued by superhero movies: no matter how menacing and villainous the antagonists are in the standard superhero films, they're no match for the actual evil that becomes increasingly prevalent in my news feed. Would any Marvel villain ever dream of cutting off electricity to premature babies in incubators? (And to be clear, I believe that both Hamas and the IDF are responsible for the current atrocities, so it's not as if there are any compensatory superheroes in the world today.)
