Popular media now encourages entertainment to spill across platforms. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a prime example: a film is the core content, but it is extended via Disney+ series, YouTube reaction videos, TikTok edits, and Instagram memes. This transmedia approach means that "watching" a movie is no longer the entire experience. The popular media ecosystem becomes the content itself. xxxkorea
