Dunno about books, but I've recently caught up, finally, to the last season of Agents of Shield, the only one left for me to watch, years later after its debut. Truly felt I'd miss the gang.

Agents of Shield did something MCU doesn't: followed a few main characters, and eventually ended. The MCU just keeps going, adding some characters, removing others. Replace some. Just so much going on in parallel, and never really ending either.

I enjoy the movies, and even other shows, but they just don't follow characters this closely for long enough for us to care? Idk. Agents of Shield, through its seven seasons, followed a group of people, eventual close pals, and had a proper, graceful ending. Did not hint at more and then vanish

Edit: actually, I read Loveless, by Alice Oseman, and felt similar. I am not a book reader, so I don't have much experience on this. Once more, following characters closely as they change, evolve, develop. And then it ends. Like, what now? That's it? Snap, back to reality?

Also, these fictional characters and their close relationships, friendships. Where my group of cool, close pals? I want my gang, too! Why not I. R. have close friend? Where besties?
