The most recent MCU movie I’ve seen is Black Panther. Every time I think about trying a new one, I remember that it feels like I have to understand the other 30+ for the new one to make sense. I wonder if I could just treat them like comics and only pay attention to Spider-Man and X-Men. 🍿

Finished reading: His Risk to Take by Tessa Bailey 📚
Finished reading: Firestarter by Stephen King 📚
I know a lot of Stephen King books are considered scary, but so many of them, including this one, make me sad. Compulsively readable as King always is.
