The Corpse Of The MCU - The Marvel Cratered Universe 

"Because its all part of the plan"

"I will destroy a thousand characters before I let this universe die!" -Kevin Feige

MCU: Phase Out

The MCU had reached its peak at Infinity War and Endgame. Now it has become a shell of its former self.

10 years ago: 😋 Yey, Avengers Movies 6 Years ago: 😑Wow, so many plot holes & continuity errors 2 years ago: 😕This was NEVER cinema Today: PLEASE CANCELL THIS ALREADY 🤢

If you think of the MCU as a pathogen victim it makes sense on where you can notice the decline, Antman & Wasp was where the symptoms first showed up but they were very mild. Then Captain Marvel released and the infection was noticeable but could still be treated, however by the time we get to Falcon & Winter Soldier the infection had begun to mutate and from there it just snowballs as the victim begins to decay from the inside out.

What do the MCU and Assassin’s Creed have in common? They had their peak and they are floundering aimlessly with no end goal in sight.

People who still support MCU are exactly how you expect them to look like

Wait till Deadpool 3 comes out. It’s gonna make spidey look like it didn’t even attempt nostalgia.

The fall of the MCU was so fast, for about 10 years it was on top of the world, and I could not stop hearing about it. About a year after endgame it fell so fast off the radar it is insane. I always thought it would slowly fade out of popularity, but this was a quick drop.

20:00 Never Forget that Taika Watitty is the same idiot who forgot Natalie Portman was in Star Wars and casually admitted as much.

11:38 Not to MENTION they wasted Venom entirely in No Way Home and screwed up the opportunity to do Sinister Six as the antagonists. Just goes to show how creatively bankrupt they are.

They built a literal MONEY MAKING MACHINE... and then thought to themselves "Why don't we politicize all of our characters and content so that we're effectively wagging a self-righteous/angry finger at all our customers"... how in the world Disney shareholders have let this nonsense carry on as long as it has is beyond my understanding... don't shareholders normally want as much volume of revenue as possible?!?!

MCU died after infinity war. Everything thing afterwards been ass.

Long time no seen! Happy you uploaded again, pausing all my work and watching your video!

Robert Rodriguez is the most based director in Hollywood. He can go from directing something like Desperado and Planet Terror to directing Spy Kids and Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

It's crazy to me, that few years ago even the worst of MCU was average, so you could bet on your ticket money was not wasted. Now the best they can achieve is me not receiving a concussion from repeated rapid facepalming. Black Widow was my breaking point, I have finished watching it and I had to go online to check if someone else had seen what I have seen or was I hallucinating.

The Marvel movies before the MCU were better. Directors got to put their style in the films. Most mcu films feel like they are made by the same person.

I got so excited when you mentioned Spy Kids lol

I love when you rip the MCU Apart. Absolutely valid points!

I watched GoG 3 last week. I noted that only one character in the entire series hasn't broken character and has been the most consistent through all 3 movies, Drax the Destroyer. Think about that. The most consistent character in the entire series is mentally handicap. It's almost like the writers and directors hate their audience.

I'm just baffled how hyped I used to be for MCU and now I barely even wanna watch reviews of the movies from my favorite RU-vidrs.

Please give us more Revenge of the Prequels

You think with something with the title *ENDGAME* it would’ve been a fitting and thematic conclusion to the MCU. Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world and Disney is continuing to milk it for what little it’s worth nowadays!

Honestly Nomz I'm still laughing at that Skyfall quote, like I told you in dm's the mental image of you trying to unalive yourself and fail and only to wake up to Korg telling unfunny jokes while those obnoxious goats scream in your face sends me into laughing fits.

"Aw shit, here we go again"

That’s one of the things about Raimi though. If the studio interferes too much he’ll just stop giving a fuck. Hell I think dancing emo Spider-Man was just him giving Sony the bird

The MCU ended with Endgame and all Disney has now is the M-CLOWN-U and it is only continues to get worse for Kevin Feige that is.

Man, I missed your ranting it is something else. Not just angry, but it is guided like a homing missile fueled by sheer Aussie Rage.

20:35 Right now, I'm LMAO-ing, but I have a feeling that image will haunt my nightmares.

All these MCU movies are half assed and half baked.

My favorite continuity of Terminator is The Terminator and T2: Judgement Day - Director’s Cut with the alternate ending.

What made Marvel great in the first place at least for me was when they had their brand of storytelling look and feel more grounded and compelling. Marvel nowadays doesn't really have that same feel to it because overtime they have placed a heavy emphasis on inserting a bunch of politically correct propaganda and limitations on a lot of their characters to the point of their stories feeling formulaic and boring. This started in the comics and bled over into the movies. The early MCU may have been a rough start for Marvel, but it in my opinion is truly where the franchise succeeded. And I think the real reason why the MCU went on a decline as of late was because of the weird changes Kevin Fiege and Marvel Studios made to the overall lore in all of the later movies, even with phase 2. Now yes we can always make the argument that the middle chunk of the MCU had some decent characters and concepts, but I think if we're being honest with ourselves none of them really hold a candle to what was done with Ultimate Marvel and the earlier phases of the MCU. Say what you want about retro Marvel, but a lot of the movies in that era were fantastic. And all had characters and concepts that are arguably more enriching than what the later MCU movies gave us. And the same can be argued for phase one of the MCU. Thor in the early movies was actually given more interesting character development than he ever got in Avengers Endgame. Thor's tragic fall really could've been handled differently. Fat Thor is a character concept that clearly feels like a mediocre character concept. I would imagine that losing his people would've actually made him a reclusive drunk instead of a fat slob. I say it feels like a mediocre character concept because they really could've portrayed his downfall in a much deeper way like Ultimate Marvel did in the comics, but they didn't. Also may I mentioned that they completely butchered the Ragnarok storyline which took a much deeper direction in the comics. So therefore fat Thor is a joke. Sure the concept of fat Thor may be fun, it may be real entertaining to look at, but it's not anything enriching. I want to see the greatness in Marvel's storytelling be presented on screen. And I think everyone else is just okay with mediocrity. That's the issue I have with Marvel personally. For example when it comes to Thor breaking out his greatest villain from prison and teaming up with him to save the world from an even larger threat. I don't know call me crazy, but that sounds like enriching storytelling right there. Yet everyone and their mom trashed Thor The Dark World because it didn't live up their standards of what a good superhero movie aught to be. And I think the overall Marvel lore has been plagued with a bunch of millennials who don't understand the concept of good storytelling to the point where if you were to point out anything wrong about a Marvel movie's storytelling they'll likely give you the feedback of just be happy. And it's like no I'm not gonna be happy about mediocre storytelling. Especially when I've seen people like Sam Raimi portray Marvel's characters in a much better way.

This puts the biggest smile on my face.

53:00 ish Dont forget, Disney BOUGHT tickets and boosted the total returns for Captain Marvel

12:27 good luck trying to get kitty pryde back Disney she's been played by three actresses.

Sudden Spy Kids side-rant was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

"The King has returned" (Rafiki, 1994).

It infuriated me to see how much RU-vidrs I respected were treating “no way home” like a cinematic masterpiece. You’ve earned a like and subscription from me, good sir.

Didn’t even Russell Crowe rail against Marvel for how they handled his role?

You know the funniest part of the "don't worry, she's got help" gilr power scene? It doesn't even make sense. She didn't need help and immediately flies off ahead of them to the van anyway. It is utterly pointless, cringe and obviously only in there to serve THE MESSAGE. Meanwhile, Wonda single handedly terrifies Thanos to the point he risks destroying his own army to get her off him. No one has an issue with that because she's earned that payoff and we understand her power. Is that not a real "girl power" moment? To be more of a single handed threat to the big bad and scare him more than any of the holy trinity ever did, even when they fight together? Figure it out.

I saw Thor 4 in theaters. It was like watching your dad getting beat up for 2 hours.

20:34 this shot is more cinematic than anything in Love and Blunder LOL 😂 Your done with the MCU by butt

Watching this awesome vid on my day off. *THREE TIMES IN A ROW!*

"Disappointing release after disappointing release" is what my ex girlfriend called me all the time

My new worry/critique about the MCU is that secret wars is apparently gonna be a soft reboot of the universe (maybe even a full reboot) so with that being the case, I find it hard to get hyped by anything really going forward because it's most likely just gonna get rebooted.

MCU: Strong Woman Stupid Man MAGIC CHILDREN No character development unless you are Loki

I hate that people call this the multiverse saga. Not even half the projects deal with the concept of the multiverse, and even when they do it usually amounts to nothing more than quick cameo's. I'm pretty sure you can sum up the multiverse "saga" with four arcs in this phase. Loki, Spidey No way home, Dr. Strange, and What if? What else do any of these movies/shows have to do with the multiverse?

Russ Al crow insisted on that portal. T.W. Asked for gladiator. But you once again are not wrong. Post credit scene was the best part of love and thunder

I forgot that's where Buscemi's line came from, always liked it. Not to get all philosophical, but I have to agree with it. Mankind is capable of the greatest kindnesses in the darkest times, and yet the darkest evils in the name of good. I think God and the devil as depicted in the holy texts would indeed be terrified of our potential. A being of pure evil simply cannot understand evil on the same level as one who can love. One who is pure good cannot understand good on the same level as one capable of evil. The ability to make that choice is a force any deity may one day come to reckon with. Back to MCU, they're choosing the easy, evil path while the difficult but good path should have been clear to them.

“He’s back.. anomaly inc is back!” - Harry Potter

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds at least actually care about the project and charaters alot so I'm hoping DP3 is good

I deeply hate the sensation of nostalgia. I know it's only being used against me. I don't want your dangling keys.

This guy is spitting facts!

I always told people they peaked with the thanos plotline. Diminishing returns are a real thing.

I want to see what you say about Rings of Power

The gender swaps and stories about lesser known characters are what’s hurting the MCU. I’m 45 and contrary to popular belief I’m the core audience. I’m the audience that grew up with these characters on Saturday mornings. These movies are for “me” and my son/nephew to connect. The problem is they have been making these movies for the female dollars and indirectly for comic book fans. The problem with catering to comic fans is, they get weekly updates to their content and don’t need to wait years for the story. So the comics allow for people to be invested in Captain Carter or Shuri etc..

U da man Nomz, dont ever change, love from the states

Phase Dive looks to be the most phasest phase of all the phases. Set phasers on kill me now, sir. But, I'm sure this current slog of cinematic drivel is just a ... phase.

That intro with the Spartan music was gold Nomz: Shut it down. Fiegee: I can’t! They’ll kill me if I do- Nomz: Motherf*cker I will kill you!

Only good things from the MCU as far as movies go are *_No Way Home_* and *_Guardians 3._* BTW, welcome back, Nomz. When the world needed you most, you returned. *_Avatar_* fans will know. 😎🤙🏻

Anyone else get a trailer for Loki on this video?

I haven't even once seen any of the MCU phase 4 entries after Spider-Man No Way Home and I knew that after watching Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 I am officially done with the MCU

Setting up the Eternals as being present on Earth for 1000s of years was a stupid idea in my opinion, as this created a large number of plot holes in the MCU timeline.

I think it all went wrong when Feige stopped reporting to Ike Perlmutter and started reporting to Alan Horn.

5:00 I strongly disagree, Spider-Man under Disney was going to be butchered to oblivion. Sure I suppose having Stark's tech and the resources of the Avengers aid Peter Parker on his journey to becoming Spider-Man could make way for a more nuanced take on the character, but Spider-Man on his own is too great for Iron Man and the Avengers to the point where it could easily villainize the character and come across as misleading to the superhero community. I mean having Spider-Man become the next armored avenger is like having Superman become a cardboard cut-out of Batman by having him be a massive D-bag in every story to make the character more interesting when the character is already interesting on his own. And Peter Parker fighting battles on his own is the whole point of him being Spider-Man. Now, if Miles Morales was actually given the development of Iron Boy Jr in the MCU instead of Peter, it would've made more sense considering that his Miles is more diverse than Peter. Whereas Peter however has always been more of his own character than anything else. I mean an entire share universe was built off of him. And besides it's not like Disney's approach to Spider-Man would've been any better than what Sony would've done in the long run considering that they only ever owned half of the character rights that Sony has. Yes, No Way Home was a lack luster conclusion to Tom Holland's Spider-Man, but at the same time I don't see how the movie could've been any better under Disney's direction if they had full control.

Disney should buy WWE. Neither give a shhh about long term bookie. Just a bunch of individual crap from day to day.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was just as dumb as everything else they are put out.

Loved that nomz mention spy kids. The trilogy was great because I rewatched them recently. And yes it’s a trilogy there’s no fourth one. And people complain about cgi in those movies, well look at modern cgi of today.

I remember getting mocked and ridiculed in 2019 by all my friends when I told them that I would no longer be watching any MCU movies after Endgame. I knew that even in the best case scenario, where everything after phase 3 would be amazing, that Endgame would be the peak of this franchise. I knew it would be best to end my relationship with the franchise on a movie like Endgame, that actually, finally offered more closure than any other MCU movie before. I do not regret my decision, and I thoroughly enjoy people finally sharing my viewpoint.

I mean Disney keeps on ruining there own franchise every day after the moon knight series on Disney plus is so ass that I gave up on marvel because they ruined moon knight from the comics Which was basically like Batman from the comics but way more brutal and gorey

Here we go

Here's the thing, fat Thor wasn't the problem at all, for me at least my problem was everyone else treating Thor like he was a joke instead of his friends giving him any respect or care

Multiverse of Magic is the last time I'll have given them my money. Such garbage.

When i finished watching spiderman I had a sense of nostalgia for the spidermen but i didnt feel great leaving the theatre. Felt like the best part was the 3 spidermen

It's really hard to be impressed with a villain, when in both of his appearances, he dies in the end. Yeah there's multiple Kangs, but how am I supposed to take them seriously when one of his variants couldn't handle Ant-Man.

It wasn’t surprise that across the spider verse is connecting to the mcu because it’s multiverse movie also if anyone watched dr strange MOM before ATV everyone would know that Miguel is lying and covering his tracks because what really happened to his universe was an incursion. That’s another reason why the canon events was a bull shit plot point

I can’t wait to live in a world where the marvels exist. The internet is going to go wild and marvel will be embarrassed. November can’t come quick enough.

I despise multiverse stories. They pretty much invalidate stakes and investment, and are only interesting or worthwhile when handled by satire writers.

Will DC eventually overtake Marvel films?

They never did their job in regards to bridging one saga to the next. If say they had a scene where Captain America or Thor bumped into Kang in Infinity War and possibly made reference to him In Captain Marvel it would have at least given some real intrigue.

Thanos should have won in Infinity War, he knew this was coming after Endgame 😢

15:25 Oppenheimer. That film had staying power for months and wound up pulling in $900m.

Endgame really meant Endgame....yeah as in the end.

Endgame said it all. The End of Marvel.

oh mcu, not just dcu, oh well onto the valiant and image u's and Scorsese cinema, the gangster films and the return of the romcoms to the big big screens

Good to have you back Noms. Sorry for being an a-hole in the DMs

Disney is already running interference and cutting stuff with Deadpool 3. Or so I've heard

Razorfist said it best nobody like the multiverse

One last thing. (I hope) Kevin Fi save dcomic movies. He took on star wars during phase four and it went off the rails.

Watching this MCU Nomz video was once again very catharic.

The real problem is that even if the newer MCU movies and TV were any good, there would be dwindling interest because superheroes have been done to death. It took the studios decades to milk the Western dry and comic book movies and TV aren't nearly as much a part of the culture as cowboy movies.

Spy Kids Trilogy is a masterpiece🔥🔥🔥

Suri or Peter should have become the new Ironman, don't need a new BP, should have introduced his grieving wife, Aurora Monroe, as the new Queen after his mother's death, solidifying mutants and building them up in the MCU. But I'm talking about solid points that make sense....sorry, wouldn't work for these writers and execs.

19:55 BASED!!! I've often said that Taika Waititi wasn't a proper person to direct a Thor film since his style of comedy doesn't mesh with the Thor formula and because Taika lacks self-control for letting a serious moment play out. The fact that boasted how he'll "ruin your mythos in a heartbeat, baby" like a smug, arrogant twat douchbag, I'm not at all surprised that now he's getting his comeuppance. I'm just glad that people like you, Josiah Rises, Jeremy from Geeks and Gamers, Ryan Kinal and even the Critical Drinker have used their platforms to call him out on. Feel free to disagree with me, but to this day, the only truly good Thor film was the first film, which captured the very essence of the Thor comics and the tone those stories told. It was an emotionally serious film but had enough comedy to hold people's attention as well as lighten the mood when the scene called for it. And Kenneth Branagh understands character dynamics and emotional moments that resonate with the audience unlike Taika Waititi who just goes "LOL, let's make fun of everything I see that looks ridiculous." P.S. at 20:35, you have my condolences that you wasted money on this abortion. Even though I'm more of a Thor fan than a Tom Cruise fan, I knew just awful this film was going to due to Taika's comments that I actually bought a ticket for Top Gun Maverick then snuck into the theater just to watch Love and Blunder. At least my money went to a movie that was deserving of it instead of this insult of a movie.

Hi Nomz. Look time no see. Been wondering how you were going its been that long.

aunt may’s death is my least favourite scene in any movie, idec

For a company that has been ridiculed for generic, formulaic, movie making, it's quite hilarious how incompetent they actually are. All they need to do was use the exact formula they already had in regards to phase 1 through 3. Use different characters, but keep the same beats. It would have done fine. But that's what leftist brain rot does to you.

You are not wrong about dr strange two. The best part was the IlumiNATTI but they 🦊‘d that up.

Let me add to your Wakanda Forever part, they should have recast T’Challa. What they were doing is slapping black men in the face like they typically like to slap white men in the face. They literally said “just replace the black man” with a black woman. Just like what happens in real life. Chadwick’s death was sad but the show has to go on. And if they believed in the “diversity” that they preached, they would have made sure that Black Panther was a black man that little black boys could look up to. On the pure fan side of it, we were robbed of T’Challa vs. Namor. What’s next are they going to make Shuri and Storm lesbian lovers? This movie was a negative emotional experience for me and a lot of other black men. Rant over.
