That's the message they should have been sending for a while. She-Hulk and Moon Knight were good examples of shows that didn't try to shape the larger narrative. It helps to have seen other shows and movies, but you don't have to have seen everything. That's the way comics work. Big crossover events can become a big deal.

I agree but this article just seems to clarify they have no idea what branding works.

It's "Marvel Spotlight" so you don't need to have seen anything. Then Echo comes out and the first episode is basically a recap and hopefully enough context.

Now it's "Marvel Television" which means the same thing so watch "Agatha All Along" which will 100% depend on WandaVision and maybe a little bit of Multiverse of Madness.

I agree that She-Hulk or even more so Moon Knight can be watched solo, but maybe give some context.

She-Hulk does depend on Endgame. I get Endgame is the biggest movie of all time (at release time), so it's a given, but figure out how to clarify or set the clear expectations of a recap.

The fact that they feel the need to advertise this means they know they fucked up. And, IMO, they did.

I'm a pretty diehard fan but I gave up trying to watch everything. My spouse doesn't want to watch The Marvels because we haven't seen all of Ms. Marvel. I forget where Daredevil even left off. I feel like I would need to read a plot synopsis to even follow what is going on. Its a bit of a mess.

Exactly! In the same boat over here. I'm sure The Marvel's is fun and fine, but I haven't got around to Ms. Marvel yet and now I just feel fatigue at the whole concept of doing homework to catch up.

Tbf "The Marvels" is a much better viewing experience when you have watched Ms. Marvel.

What's worse is that we really liked the first episode but there's just very little time for TV in our lives. We can carve out enough time for a movie occasionally, but a whole series just won't get watched for like another year (unless it is more Loki.)
