Bonjour!Today you have Jake flying solo to use you all as proxy therapists for his Peter Pan issues...I mean I am going to discuss the state of the MCU and why things are worse now than ever before. The MCU is moving into irrelevance faster than any could have imagined with well-reviewed shows and movies like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Daredevil Born Again and Thunderbolts all failing to make money or draw eyeballs in meaningful ways. Rumors and leaks from Spider-Man 4, Avengers Doomsday & Secret Wars, and Fantastic Four paint a very dour picture as Feige and his MCUnderlings JUST realized this week that they might have a creative quality issue and not just a production timing/quantity issue. With Andor's strong reception and good hype surrounding Gunn's upcoming Superman film, Marvel and the MCU are in danger of falling from their perch above Nerd fandom and I am beginning to doubt if Feige can do the one thing he needs to in order to get back on track -- make a good movie THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE.Ball don't lie my friends and right now the MCU has zero game.
