This is a really interesting argument/ideological divide we're getting with this unprecedentedly serialised series of films: the more formalist "A movie should be a discrete unit" view vs. "Of *course* it presumes, that's deliberately what they're doing."

Thank you. You articulated what took me had a dozen complicated tweets to say. They are presuming because that is true only way this works and because the target audience is ok with that.

Is that not essentially the same as any sequel, though? Like, how much time should Deathly Hallows have spent introducing and developing the relationships between Harry, Hermoine, and Ron, you know?

The thing about the Harry Potter movies is, they're a linear sequence. Year 1, then year 2, etc. Few of the MCU movies pick up right from the immediately prior movies, and the casts switch around. That creates different expectations, more akin to Discworld than Harry Potter.
