You can kind of tell that they gave up towards the end. They forgot some major characters in the newer movies, but they got every background character from the first movies.
Swiss cheese encyclopedia. You might learn some interesting fact or notice a new connection between characters, but you also might notice glaring flaws and omissions. Several entire MCU Disney+ series are missing even when they should have been included in the 2024 edition. This has the potential of being a great resource if it was updated and expanded. Without those changes it has limited benefit to just scratch the surface for people who barely watch any MARVEL movies or series.
I like the concept of have an illustrated profile of who’s who in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the biographies are banal and understated; not offering much detail. It’s the type of book that’s good for a quick perusal, not for in depth research. You’ll leaf through it once and probably won’t crack it open again.
