Also the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Oh, you want to know what's going on in this movie? Well watch these other five movies. Even if they suck. Or you won't know what's going on. And if you're still lost go read the tie-in comics. You are watching the show right?" But the stories are all self-contained. You don't need to watch Captain America: Winter Soldier to understand what's going on in Thor Dark World or Iron Man 3. You don't need to watch Guardians of the Galaxy to understand what Avengers is about. You certainly don't need to watch the Show or read the comics unless you just happen to be one of those obsessive nuts who gets hung up on the details. There are plenty of films, books, and shows out there which simply leave the fandoms to wonder without ever having a way to find closure on what fans claim as plotholes. At least KH and Marvel have developed ways to answer questions the fans might have that is still part of the canon. Even Star Wars has never been so kind.
