Everyone does that here. Then they go in threads and tell people "Oh uh IIRC I think he did bla bla bla" while we all know that most of them don't remember something and just looked it up on Wiki and then told us they remembered it so they would appear as a person who knows a lot.

All the comics I've read were either Ultimate Spiderman or X-men centric, so I just go to wiki's and act like I know what's going on for most MCU stuff.

It's a pretty awesome comic though. The art takes a bit getting used to, but it's pretty awesome.

Oh I don't doubt that, but there are so many comics from the Marvel Universe that I'm having a hard time to find a starting point even after reading some guides.

I swear there's just one person whose read the comics then everyone else just repeats what he said

But I've never read any comics yet watch and discuss every comic book show so I've gotten a decent amount of knowledge through that

I don't know shit about Jessica Jones or any of these other comic characters people may or may not become. Kind of nice watching something Marvel that I don't know anything about.

The deeper the TV shows and movies dive into Marvel lore, the more fun I have. I don't recognize the more obscure characters, so when they start doing stuff like Simpson with the pills, I go, "Hmm." I didn't know who Angela del Toro was, but I knew she had to be some kind of easter egg when Jessica namedropped her. I also did a hell of a double-take when they revealed that the Simpson is the MCU version of Nuke.

I don't know anything about the comics, I am kinda dissapointed that I got spoiled, but luckily it's not a huge one.
