Loki, Thanos, Gamora, Nebula...occupy more of our mind-space than Modi, Yadav, Didi or any Gandhi. If only our political parties could field Ironman, Hulk, Thor and the other potent beings from the marvel cinematic universe as candidates: that would make some coup and the wackiest infinity war!
The obsession with these fictitious characters is quite palpable. It grips you at the lunch table, the office cubicle; the washroom is also not spared. The connect the real people feel for these reel non-people is amazing.They invest in them and live beyond their limitations through them.
Though I tried to not succumb to the intimidation of the pervasive MCU, I gave in to peer pressure ( reminiscent of my experience with GoT). I watched a few MCU movies, read a lot about them and could bring myself to appreciate certain aspects of it.
I am no MCU fan!
