I am 56 years-old and not particularly in love with superhero movies. In fact, a few years ago, I pretty much gave up on watching them, as I just tired of the genre and the plethora of Marvel and DC films. That being said, I did enjoy the DIsney+ mini-seris "WandaVision"...but it really helped to have an 'interpreter'...a geeky sort who has read comics and seen the films to help explain things to be now and again. For non-comic fans, it can be daunting watching the film and not having all the backstory...not knowing which characters are evil, which have been revived from the dead and which are not to be trusted. Fortunately, my daughter watched with me and helped me to understand. Too bad there aren't services that do this for all folks like me!

As for the series, I enjoyed it because there simply is nothing like it. It's completely unlike the Thor, Batman, Captain American and Wonder Woman films (yes, yes, I know I am mixing DC and Marvel here!). ANd, that unlikeness is THE reason to watch it. Well acted, weird and occasionally quite fun, this is a welcome addition to the Marvel universe.
