A TV show shouldn’t be required watching to understand what’s going on in the next “big blockbuster”. If they have to be “in universe”, make those about street level, 3rd tier heroes. Nobody knew who Peacemaker was 10 years ago, and it’s one of the best.
I love seeing crossovers. The cool thing about comics is you could have someone show up in another book, and then you’re interested in that character so you go read those books. The movies and shows should be like that, relatively independent but with occasional references and cameos.
Like the way Matt Murdock appeared in She Hulk was enjoyable. As long as you were aware of the Netflix shows, you didn’t need to have watched all the Defenders episodes to understand it. But maybe seeing him in that show made you want to check out the Netflix series.
What I don’t want is like a full introduction every time a special guest character shows up. Like if Hawk Girl makes an appearance in Peacemaker Season 2, we don’t need a “Hi, I’m from the Justice League and I’m an ancient alien wielding Nth Metal, how can I help you?” conversation.

I now have a dark hope that one of the writers sees this, includes that exact dialogue and prompts the actress to break the 4th wall with a smirk
