Is it vastly different to a soap operaWell the MCU is a sort of federation, with each film having its own directorial leadership, all under the corporate umbrella of Kevin Feige or whoever it is. And a federated system is necessarily comprised of pseudo-independent systems that were, perhaps, once independent. Thus the federated system is a higher order system.
If we take soap opera to mean a story that indefinitely recycles characters and exploits the juiciness of character clashes, then yeah sure MCU fits the bill, just on an exponentially more expensive and cosmic stage.Is it vastly different to a soap opera
The whole range of permissible ideologies represented as AvengersAnd on this scale with this many viewers, the characters can effectively become proxies or avatars for this or that ideological position. Captain america as mildly progressive libertarian patriot vs iron man as mildly progressive totalitarian technocrat globalist. Or whatever.
Yeah, a sort of watered down notion of putting aside ideological differences to handle this or that pressing issue. Although I'd hardly commend the MCU for being an exemplar of heterodoxy. It has its strengths, but not this.The whole range of permissible ideologies represented as Avengers

With the cast as a sort of pantheon. I'd be deeply surprised, and even disappointed, if there aren;t explicit ideological top-down agendas at play here. CIA or not. Really I have no idea.The MCU can also be considered a monumental milestone in the systematization of spectacle.
You could say the same about The Wire or (especially) The Sopranos really couldn't you? I mean they have an ending, or at least they end, so maybe they are more comparable to those Mexican telenovas or whatever they are called but you take my point I'm sure.Is it vastly different to a soap opera
