Because I live in an imperfect world where I don't have time/energy/money to go to a theatre (and am introverted enough to dislike the idea of going) and my family does not watch Hollywood/non-Christian movies (I don't like most myself - thus spoilers required) and Amazon video has only recently started working with Android but even so, this ain't on it.

I was dragged into this fandom before I saw anything. Now, I can say I treat it like comics. I live off of clips (where I've seen almost every Natasha or Clint scene pre-AOU, but mixed bag anything else), Hulu (tv shows only :cries: ), scans and Scribd for comics (though it's hit and miss) and research. I've only seen X1 the whole way through of any movie put out in the Marvel universe. But I am good at using the pieces I've got and drawing all the lines between. And clips, clips! I live for those clips on YouTube. I can truthfully say it's easy to stay up on Natasha in canon because she's a fav in clips.

I'm hoping when I next get some free bucks (I'm getting a raise in a couple weeks! Should actually post about that, huh...) I can see if Amazon made good on getting my tablet video-friendly but it'll still be a while before I can see AOU and I want to read all the fic, so I keep up with fandom even when canon gets ahead of me.

If you want to plot summary, PLEASE DO! I live off Wikipedia too. :)
