Clothes as a concept started with utilitarian purposes like staying warm or cool. There are a lot of social constructs around clothes including when and what is worn in what contexts, but not the reason they exist in the first place.
The Avengers was the 5th movie. Winter Soldier was an expansion on the already expansive franchise.
Yes, or they wouldn't make the movies.
For larger budget franchises see James Bond, Fast and Furious, Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, Star Wars, MCU, etc. Whether or not they hold up quality while isn't always consistent, but some do a decent job of keeping momentum.
Captain America: The winter Soldier and The Guardians of the Galaxy were the 8th and 9th released MCU filmed amd both top are tier movies in their own right.
Because it keeps them rent payment from bouncing.
They are human beings who are more frequently able to relate to people who are similar to them based on shared experiences including social pressures. I don't think either gender is unable to relate to the other gender, but social pressure is pretty strong and leads to common outcomes that involve pressures based race, gender, and economic status among others.

Worst was a counselor for a relationship, didn't listen to anything I said and focused entirely on who showed the most sadness instead of the issues we were having. Stereotypical blaming the man for not being able to read minds while glossing over any actual communication issues. I was supposed to figure out what was upsetting my wife without asking her and also I was blamed for not picking up vague hints that were inconsistent. Also, don't you see how upset she is! Stop expecting her to tell you what is wrong! My wife was the one who didn't want to go back.
Best was a one on one therapist who actually listened and helped with perspective. He helped a lot with being able to understand when to stop trying to communicate and just taking a guess when that is the omly option, plus guidance on more structured introspection. Bonus: He helped me get diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s, which really helped.
Had a couple of others who kinda listened but didn't really help. At least they weren't a net negative like the relationship one.

Dogwhistles are for the in group to show solidarity. Those outside not recognizing the dogwhistle or having a hard time proving it is a dogwhistle is the entire purpose.
A quarter that does not include healthcare or other benefits, which probably suck out another 20% of what they could have made if health coverage wasn't tied to employment and has high co-pays and other costs.
Paying taxes is not a problem. The wealthy not paying taxes is a problem.
