Infinity war is getting rave notices from people I take my cues from. Really looking forward to it. Did I mention I saw great Marvel exhibition at @MoPOPSeattle? Take a moment to note Apollo-moonshot level achievement that is MCU btw. Whole new meaning to “world building”

MCU is a new high water mark achievement in escaped reality engineering. Oral culture epics —> traditional religious life —> textual culture epics like LOTR —> comic book universes —> television universes —> Disneyland —> MMO universes —> MCU

i think that’s right. there’s no lens that has the odyssey as literature and MCU as low pop culture. it’s less enduring but it’s touched more minds. and all signals are it’ll be retold again and again
