It seems the MCU’s biggest risk didn’t pay off. Marvel Studios’ Eternals is one of the latest projects of the MCU and is currently the lowest-rated MCU movie and the lowest-grossing MCU movie.

Captain Marvel is, for all intents and purposes, another MCU success story. It raked in big bucks at the box office and critics raved about its story, setting, and characters.

Tom Holland brought the nerdy awkwardness of Peter Parker and the quippy confidence of Spider-Man together in a blend that was a delight to behold. His subsequent appearances in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and … Continue reading The Problem with MCU’s Spider-Man

Ant-Man and The Wasp is one of the weaker MCU movies to date and not just because it had the unenviable task of following Infinity War. The wonder the first movie brought was evident in the sequel but to a lesser extent…much lesser. However, it could have been much better if it had made one narrative choice. If it had been set in the timeline … Continue reading Ant-Man and The Wasp – What Could Have Been?
