Times are tough for everybody right now with the Coronavirus keeping the entire world sequestered inside and forcing many businesses to close their doors until further notice. It has also led to the movie industry coming to a standstill and multiple studios shifting their release schedules . This is leaving the general public with not much more to do than try to stay connected on social media, and one of the most utilized avenues in this regard is through movies.
Marvel Cinematic Universe fans in particular are fortunate to have a huge catalog of material to work through, with all 23 movies of the Infinity Saga and multiple television series available on DVD's and home streaming services. Some of the biggest names in the movie industry have been sharing their movie opinions through their social media platforms over the last few weeks, including how they rate different movie series. A new social media post brings more of these ratings that shed some new light on the MCU from one of its biggest directors.
