The Marvel Cinematic Universe Is a Living Hell 

By the time this video finishes, the polls will be open! All our Patrons will have the chance to cast their vote to decide which of the new series we launched this week will become regular additions to the Templin Institute. The polls, once live, can be found here: www.patreon.com/posts/82913010/

I love how close the Institute gets to saying "Living in the MCU is like experiencing 9/11 every weekend"

Fun how we as viewers can feel the same way as an average civilian in the MCU would feel. “What weird dumb thing happened this week?”

To be a civilian in a superhero universe is the ultimate NPC experience, your continued existence is the measure by which the heroes fulfil their quest.

*Boss:* "So, what makes you qualified to be an accountant here?" *Dude:* "Well, I got decent grades in school, and my last job got demolished by aliens, so.." *Boss:* "Have you ever assembled a combat robot before?" *Dude:* "..no." *Boss:* "And I assume you haven't learned magic?" *Dude:* "I can't use magic, no." *Boss:* "What about space travel?" *Dude:* "Please sir, I really need the job, my-" *Boss:* "You're hired! Our last accountant was kidnapped by magical monks, and the software we replaced her with tried to launch nukes at Tibet." *Dude:* "..wait, is THAT what happened to Tibet? I thought-" *Boss:* "That it was abducted by aliens? Yeah, that's why the nukes didn't make the news. Good thing too, or our insurance would have gone up." *Dude:* "..." *Boss:* "Yeah...help me down this whisky until we're drunk enough to keep working." *Dude:* "..I'll get some glasses."

Being a civilian during a time of super powered beings, monsters, aliens, machines, celestial entities and more clashing against each other like a game of tag must really suck

The thing about the mcu is it used to be relatively planned out, so every movie felt like it had consequences on every subsequent ones. It was all relatively self contained within factions like SHIELD and the like. Now though, every new movie feels the need to introduce their own secret conspiracy, hidden world, new powerful faction, and even magic system. It's just waaay too bloated for anyone to keep track of everything

In Agents of SHIELD, they mentioned a clause about evil robots in their insurance. Their insurance industry is going to be a nightmare. If Thor destroys something, then act of god insurance would kick in

Living in ANY superhero franchise would be hell Unless you were an actual demon in which case it would be a lovely summer trip for you and the hellspawn

Everything owned by Disney is a living hell

They went from "An eccentric billionaire built himself a rocket suit. Neat." to "So are the time-traveling wizards fighting vampires or Zeus today? Oh, thank god it's just another alien invasion." in two decades.

There's a role playing subreddit I love to read which is called Earth 199999, where users pretend they're living in the MCU. And my favorite subject is their story of how the Blip affected their lives, in bad ways and surprisingly good ways. From adoption woes to age gap relationships between the blipped and unblipped. BTW, there's another role playing subreddit for Avatar the Last Airbender called Lake Logai I'd recommend.

Still not as bad as doctor who earth. But that's a really good horror premise right there - what if we actually saw the realistic consequences of everything that happened?

I would agree with the assessment of this video. Though it would seem advantageous to the producers of the MCU to have more and more younger superheroes start taking the reins, the in-universe reality of it would not be encouraging. Sure, you can feature them in more films, for longer, and presumably cheaper than their more mature counterparts, but quips and capes do not a hero make.

Some of the absurd things that are always happening that you just would never know about. 1. Your universe being obliterated and finding your self face to face with a pink fart cloud that eats reality. This happens because someone was 5 minutes late to a coffee that didn't lead to the sacred timeline (Loki) 2. A wizard can make you forget anything he wants on a planetary scale (No Way Home) 3. It seems any random nitwit can end your universe the way these newer movies have 'the end of the universe' as the stakes. 4. Random incursion from someone discovering multiversal travel. Turning your home into a hellscape. This is happening an infinite number of times with infinite people because nobody seems to understand what infinite means (Dr Strange 2) 5. The many heros see to not care about the many bodies they leave behind when they have the funnies. And you can't do anything about it because no one cares about the sokovia accords anymore. It's back to rampaging lunatics with incredibly destructive powers.

You think the MCU has it bad? Try the comic universe they where based on.

How unintentionally meta the title is for most people nowadays.

This would be most mainstream comic book universes. Where you have heroes that might stop a mugging or bring down organized crime...but then a star emperor comes and blows up the largest city on the Eastern Seaboard. Good luck!

In a world full of power, it can get weirdly depressing

If you continue this series, you really need to talk about the Star Wars galaxy. It doesn’t matter how many times the Jedi beat the Sith. It doesn’t matter how many Empires are toppled or how many planet-busting super weapons are blown up. The Force craves balance, and when Light wins, it gets to work building up the next dark side threat to put it back, and so on and so forth. Conflict is not only a constant, it is a literal force of nature.

Major problem is, these threats are being created too fast and growing stronger, from just some guy whose good at fighting to an alien that can kill half the universe or giant god like creatures. Nick fury said it best: “We learned that not only are we not alone but we are hopelessly and hilariously out gunned… the world’s filling up with people that can’t be matched, can’t be controlled”

I still have a lot of nostalgia for the early MCU before it fell off, but my biggest, perpetual problem with its worldbuilding is something i've coined as *"Perpetual Normality"* Aliens invade New York. Is there mass-panic? An uptick in religious renouncement? Bands of Scavengers making mini-terror1st armies with Alien tech? No, SHIELDS all encompassing reach manages to consume it all, somehow, and the idea of the world being made more chaotic as a result of this attempted invasion is only finally explored in Spiderman: Homecoming. People learn that Real Magic exists with Doctor Strange. How does this effect society? Do the 4 Wizard Schools see a sudden increase in new members? Do certain religious groups want to k1ll them? Thats my problem, Society never changes from things that would massively change it IRL.

Marvel has actually addressed this very issue, periodically, through the years. The first one I remember took place back in the 1980s, with a little four-page follow-up to a Fantastic Four story. Basically, it portrayed the impact a fight in the next town over, between the FF and the villain, had on the people who lived nearby. Essentially, the saw a press conference in which Reed Richards assured everybody that the crisis had been dealt with, and everything would be fine. However, he refused to go into any details, and essentially just issued routine reassurances. The response of the famiy was a shattering of their sense of security, just as you mentioned, here. Basically, in the Marvel universe (and DC, and most superhero settings), what happened in New York on 9/11 was just another Tuesday.

On those events that I’ll remember, I’ve lived through many since my birth in late 2002. But the first one that came to mind was when that gorilla got shot.

As someone who's only seen maybe four of the Marvel movies, do we know for certain if the Marvel Cinematic Universe has camels in it? Or is it a camelless universe?

Marvel calls itself "the world outside your window". And that world just happens to be a hell dimension full of never-ending trauma.

I think the main reason that makes the MCU so terrifying is not only about the frequency of disasters but also the variety. In most other franchises from Star Wars or Godzilla, the threats can usually be generalized into more giant monsters fighting or another galactic war. You can at least be hopeful that some day it might be over for good. The MCU on the other hand is a never ending parade of disasters. Everything from crazy billionaires to aliens to magic are out to kill you and it would only takes one of them to succeed for the world to goes to hell. The threat is formless and chaotic, trying to contain them all is like grabbing smoke with your bare hands. There is just no hope for peace.

Very interesting pilot, but I'm not sure "Worst place to be alive" would last long as a series, but I think a variant on that topic could. I was really captivated by the first half describing the feelings and reactions of the average person as the events happened, and I'd like to see more of that. Basically as series of "Bystander NPC reactions to major plot events". They don't even have to be about disasters, we can include uplifting mega-events, and delve into how everyday life would change/evolve in that universe. Food for thought.

Me watching the hulk throw my car at a super villain only for him to miss

I think that's the problem with comic book worlds in general, since there needs to be a crisis all the time for it to be interesting to us. The suspension of disbelief isn't that people have superpowers; is that the world still exists at all, or that people haven't gone mad from the fact that they're battle away from being wiped out.

Honestly, this sounds like a good way to justify something like Evil Superman's Regime in the Injustice series. When the average civilian has to worry about gods, magic, superhuman attacks, or just evil gangster clowns causing havok for giggles, having a bunch of superheroes "turn evil" and take over the world "for it's own good" might not sound like such a bad idea. I mean, living under an ambiguously oppressive one world order run by superhumans might not be the bees knees, but if that's the _only_ thing you have to worry about it doesn't sound that bad. Or at least preferable to the chaos.

Something I love about the Netflix MCU shows is that they really do a great job of showing the street level perspective of average people in the MCU. Like that one scene in Jessica Jones where this random lady tries to kill Jessica out of vengeance for her mother’s death in Loki’s invasion.

It is interesting that Peter Quill, the guy who watched his mother die before getting abducted by aliens as a child, seems to be far less traumatized by his life experiences than any of the earthbound characters who rarely if ever leave the planet. I think one of the comic book storylines does have each of the interstellar empires come together to examine why Earth seems to attract so much trouble and can pump out so many powerful figures that can repel otherwise exponentially more powerful civilizations.

More than a few times in the comics Apocalypse has mused that the ability of ordinary/unpowered humanity to survive everything happening around it is more impressive than the events themselves.

Monsterverse is pretty terrifying too, giant monsters duking it out and there isn’t a damn thing humanity can do

Idk. I’d rather live in Earth 616 than the Warhammer 40K universe. I think the constant crises would eventually settle into an unhealthy normal, just something in the background which you have to deal with, like the weather. It would suck, but you get acclimated to it.

At first you always go to the bomb shelter, or the concrete parking garage or stairwells. But after a while you rarely do, or you half live out of there instead of visiting.

3:25 honestly I was expecting them to cover worship of asgardians returning at some point in the mcu. Especially the Loki show of all places. Though it seems caps fun quip in avengers seems to encapsulate a lot of public thought.

If you are focusing on the worst places to be alive, you should also do the universe of Berserk. That is probably about as gets for terrible universes to live because, in addition to all the monsters, not even death ends your suffering because everyone basically goes to Hell when you die. For some other examples; -Devilman. Probably the second worst anime world to live in next to Berserk. Humanity is doomed to be wiped out in a war with demons, who will die along with us. Then God recreates the world, and the cycle starts all over again. -One Punch Man. Imagine a superhero series where the fear factor of all the destruction from the supervillains isn't glossed over. You get this. Don't be fooled by the premise of focusing on an invincible protagonist, the series' hero, Saitama, may be invincible, but everyone else isn't, and Saitama often isn't around when he's needed. This once nearly led to the destruction of humanity as Saitama failed to arrive to stop a supervillain, and the other heroes had to save the world. It is frequently brought up that the Hero Association charged with protecting the world is understaffed, suffers from incompetent management, and most of the heroes it does recruit are out of their league against the threats they are supposed to stop. Dune. You have a sci-fi verse under the rule of feudalism that is stagnant thanks to the political machinations of the Great Houses and various cutthroat organizations. Even when the old order is overthrown, it leads to a terrible war against the new emperor. The next emperor becomes the worst tyrant in human history to scatter humanity in an elaborate scheme to prevent our extermination by something far worse. It works, but the road to humanity's salvation walks through hell. One Piece. Do not be fooled by the goofy aesthetic, this world is a shit hole. There is a GIANT population of super criminals who either have superpowers from anime training or from magic fruit. The military/law enforcement opposing them is hopelessly corrupt and serves the whims of evil politicians who are only concerned about maintaining their iron fist at any cost.

Well... I wasn't expecting the MCU to be the topic of this episode. But yeah, a series of continuous world ending crises & a small percentage of random people getting superpowers through little merit of their own would be upending. And intriguing end to this pilot week.

A big part I think you missed is how on Earth 616, with first the seeming proliferation of technologies that would allow resurrection in at least some situations, then the half of everyone who was turned to ash by The Snap just coming back again, not even something as absolute as death is certain anymore. If people can just randomly come back from the dead, is there any reason to care about even that?

Most universes with godlike beings is pretty horrifying. Even in the Star Trek, on earth, you could have the planet destroyed by an alien probe trying to talk to extinct whales, or an ancient spacecraft that has gained immense powers coming back. Or your timeline could be erased by either an unknown alien enemy or a Starfleet officer who didn't like how things turned out and decided to change the past. Or your species could be wiped out by a being with godlike powers that decided you're not worthy of existence.

That's what's unique about superhero universes in general. In most realities, you have that one thing that makes them unique or disturbs their present reality. Most times you have magic, but your technological level is medieval. So robots and space travel are unheard of. Others, you have advanced technlogy. That allows everything from enhanced individuals, to faster than light travel. But something like magic and gods is unheard of. But with Marvel and DC, you have everything, at the same time. There is no concept present in any alternate worlds, as unique as it may be, that doesn't also exist in those realities. Even at the cosmological level, which creates several contradicitons on the estructure and creation of reality, that nonetheless are all true at the same time.

The best thing about the Hawkeye show was that it did give us the best insight into what life is like for the everyday person in MCU. In the Netflix MCU shows they went to gritty in some regards. Aliens invade New York and it’s not brought up much in those shows.

I can't help but imagine how it is for places where no notable event of the MCU (Or Superhero universes in general) really happened, like South America or New Zealand and how people see these places

Well let’s see what masterpiece templin came up with today

YES! That's what I always try to answer in every movie I watch or book I read (about sci-fi or fantasy stories with huge battles taking place). I've always wondered what it would feel like to be a civilian or just a foot soldier in that specific moment. Say in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields or the Battle of the Black Gate. Who's to say that I'm not going to desert when I see that we are obviously outnumbered by orcs? Even if I don't desert on the first clash, I sure as hell wouldn't be joining the Black Gate when I just survived the first one!

Just imagine being a regular human in the Dragon ball World.

I'm so glad someone addressed this because I doubt that a normal person with no powers can feel safe anytime in the marvel universe

Just wanted to say: the MCU isn't universe 616, it is universe 199999.

Even in the pure-comic-book days, the Marvel universe was frightening. One of the more powerful superhumans *in New York City at least* , was Katie Power/Energiser - An *eight-year old girl* who could disintegrate huge physical masses and use that to generate building-flattening plasma blasts. An eight-year-old with all the emotional issues of most girls her age carrying around a plasma accelerator - *minimum* . Oh, and she's been through at least two alien abductions and her dad's old boss is out to kill her and her siblings *personally* . So, she's likely not a stable personality in a secure life. If you think she's bad, a boy she met at elementary school can *rewrite reality* with a thought. So, yeah: Hell on Earth.

Yeah I think after Thanos being able to sacrifice his daughter for power and He Who Remains' overthrow being presented as a bad thing cemeneted MCU as a grimdark setting for me.

The fact that alien living being discovered in the Earth 616 universe and then never discussed was one of the biggest pet peeves I've had in their story telling. Such a singular event would've rehappened mankind's entire view of ourselves in the universe. However its merely glossed over with not even a mention. Life just went on as usual.

This vid is great, and reminded me of an examination of Kreia from KOTOR 2. How, after watching how the force seemed to lock the galaxy in an ebb/flow of Jedi/sith, republic/empire and only people with specific last names can make a difference; she just went mad, and tried to figure out how to kill it.

I mean, dealing with it and its consequences is a living hell in this reality, too.

The world of Invincible seems pretty rough too. Just sitting, chilling at a cafe and a giant dragon attacks, then is blown up by fighter planes. Or walking to work and aliens pop out of nowhere and start vaporizing everyone. Jesus

I had this idea for the MCU for a guy who got powers post Endgame. Goes like this. Kicked out of the house at 17, homeless, scrounges about and after a year or two of starving on the streets he gets a job, gets a home, gets his feet under him and starts putting things together. He's dating, he's got some savings... and then... Snap. Five years later he's back but his job is given to some guy who moved to the country, his home is now someone else's and despite his best efforts he's on the street, his money was 'inherited' by his parents and they're not giving it back... Meaning he has to pull himself out of the gutter a *second time.*

The hard fact is: your actions really WOULDNT matter. Anything you build, business or family, could be a casualty of the destruction at any moment. And nothing you could accomplish would meaningfully help the supers stop the next apocalypse. Its their world, you would just live there

No video yet has explained the sadness we see in that kid's eyes when Scott returns from the Quantum Realm and everything is in disarray until now!

Personal suggestions for two of your new series of videos. Mainly alternate history and building your battlegroup. Alternate history. 1) what if the Horus Hersey never happened? 2) what if the Helghast won the second extra solar war? 3) what if the end times of the old world never happened? Could the forces of order triumph over the dark chaos gods? 4) what if the dark lord of Mordor, Sauron had a heir/child to take his place? 5) what if House Stark of winderfall, won the war of the five kings? Building your battle group/Task force. 1) a Imperial Battle group that could save the imperium of man from ruin or at least hold the line against all threats until a chance of ultimate victory has come at last. 2) a federation Battle group that could conquer the changlings dominion. 3) a UNSC Battle group that could turn the tide in the human covenant war.

Imagine just chilling at home watching TV, then the next you thing you know Thor’s hammer is flies through your apartment.

As a big fan of the mcu I absolutely love more "realistic" exploration of what it is like for regular people there, both in the current age and in the past. As a lover of history, I also like to consider how different historical events interacted with immortal people and organizations like the Asgardians, the Hand, the Eternals, etc Thanks for this video!

This would be a great staging ground for the infamous Mutant Bigotry-once the mutants show up-people literally born with dangerous powers they didn’t earn, that can’t be replicated, and have no teachers (and some are even saying they’ll eventually _replace_ humanity)-that will probably be the last straw for some people. The perfect recipe for prejudice to start fomenting.

After Endgame, the MCU stopped giving a timeline of events because the events would be too congested. That or too many projects are being released to provide an accurate count. So who knows post Endgame, how dangerous it is living on Earth with multiverse shenanigans, blip related trauma, alien tyrants, and unstable governments.

The easiest way to understand the MCU is that it's basically become the Cthulhu Mythos, told from the perspective of the gods. Iä! Iä! To'ny St'ark fhtagn!

True, we live at perhaps the most disorienting period of history. I remember seeing the later moon landings on TV and being told this was big, a turning point in history. Then learning about the many turning points that had come in just the few decades prior, the World Wars, the Great Depression, the advent of TV and cars and whatnot. And it has only accelerated from there. The MCU takes this fact of modern life and amps it up to 11. In fact, the Blip (Thanos' snap) was likely a step too far: it has been rightly criticized as a true singularity event, something that would break all of history and society. Going forward, Marvel really ought to follow a different timeline, with a better sense of keeping things under control. At the current point, in 2023, everyone must be worn out and desperate for leaders who can promise stability going forward, even if they have to expend most of the American nuclear arsenal to create the conditions for it.

I feel like crisis fatigue sounds familiar to a lot of us if not everyone. Maybe I Dunn did a Krueger or whatever it's called, but hearing that phrase for the first time today didn't stop me thinking, "Oh hey, it's me!"

Reminds me of when I argued with a friend about how "baseline" Gotham City is a safer place to live than Metropolis, for the average person. Sure you have about 48 different gangs, a clown themed psycho who tortures and kill whoever he meets, and the most corrupt police force of the DC universe. But honestly, that isn't very far away from the place I grew up! You lock your doors, keep your chin down when passing by the cops, avoid dark alleys at night, make some prayers, and maybe you can live enough to retire in the less horrible part of the city, or if you're luck, you go to a calmer place (pretty sure green lantern came from a city where nothing happens when he's not there, and he's almost never there). Now, lets talk about baseline Metropolis. Even if you ignore the whole Snyderverse careless Superman going through buildings, the place is a nightmare. Let's assume Superman main priority when fighting is to take the danger away from the city. Not only more of his villains will exploit that and start doing more damaging actions, as much as he has super hearing and speed, he can't react before something horrible go down. You have an evil Tony Stark openly trying to kill him every other Tuesday, with bigger and stronger radioactive armaments, and that's the smallest threat. From time to time, a gigantic gray alien made of spikes and space steroids will planetfall into the city and murder an entire city block before supes shows up. Then their fight will probably take down one building. Then there's the space google cosplaying as Jeff Bezos who comes to the city and disintegrates a few streets in the name of knowledge or something. Let's not forget about goth Thanos, Zod, Metallo, Bizzarro, the imp with weird name, all those people have the power to implode most of Metropolis in a matter of seconds, they often don't live there, so they're not worried about collateral damage to their business, and they go there specifically because Superman is there! Gotham tries to kill you everytime you cross the street, and the chances are about 50-50, but you can better those odds in your favor with some basic city survival skills. Metropolis is killing entire neighborhoods and no amount of understanding the place will better your odds when the next demigod of death shows up and Superman is 1 second too late.

All 4 of these shows were fantastic. I hope you can keep all of them rolling.

It is almost a lovely never ending cycle that you have to enjoy the nightmare until it becomes heaven.

My biggest issue with superhero movies has always been that they make very little effort to discuss the deeper implications of the stories they're trying to tell - say what you want about Batman versus Superman, but I do think it was one of the few movies that tried to some extent (and in a rather disjointed way, tbf) to build a plot on how real people would react to the society-shattering changes of a world where super humans are real

Whenever I try to write a fanfic about a world even REMOTELY like Earth 616 my characters' instinctive reaction is to get out. Get some tech, some power, some people, find a ship and move to another planet. One far away from everything.

7:46 imagine your universe being so hellish that another with it's version of literal hell seems more promising

Huh, so there is a word/term for what countless people across the planet, including myself, are dealing with during the 2020s, Crisis Fatigue. Good too know. No seriously, that is *really* good too know, thank you Templin Institute for sharing that info. =)

0:55 1) Germany is east of France, not West 2) German Empire was declared in Paris after Prussia has beaten France in a war.

I'd probably still take living in the MCU over living in the Snyderverse.

I used to think the biggest problems ordinary citizens in the MCU would face would be rising insurance premiums and the annoyance of superheroes breaking physical laws willy-nilly. But as you've so masterfully said, the psychological and emotional damage would be much, much worse... Come to think of it, being a non-Jedi civilian in the Star Wars universe would suck for many of the same reasons presented here.

The MCU is constantly at war, war is hell. Checks out. Hydra got what they wanted

The thought of living every day worried about "is this the day that myself or someone I know are going to get destroyed by some random superpowered ________" would be a horrible way to live. How many times in the comics do random locations, buildings, cities or just people end up as a casualty of some random event. How many people die every time Superman or Thor punch a bad guy through a building or get punched through a building themselves? Very dark to think about, but it's hard to comprehend how a society can move forward with the constant level of destruction they would be seeing on a weekly basis.

What the Marvel universe really needs is some body like the Global Defense Agency from Invincible, some organization to provide stability and act as a bedrock for the world. In the MCU that was SHIELD, but they got basically annihilated in Captain America 2. At this point, there's no civilian body in the world able to rein in superheroes, there's no regulatory agency for these godlike beings, no institution you can rely on. This is important, because institutions are a lot easier to trust than the whims of individuals.

It’s a universe where tomorrow will almost certainly not resemble today.

Whenever people fantasize about living in one of these fantastical universes, I urge them to look on screen and find the least assuming extra in a big scene. Some random person in the corner of the screen, running for their lives (and likely failing) from the interdimensional super-threat on screen... ... and then realize you will probably never be as important as that random person. At least they were nearby when stuff happened.

Imagine if Thanos had not only snapped half of everyone out of existence, but also made the other half forget they ever existed?

This is why Doctor Doom is one of if not the best characters in all of Marvel. The one human set on making things make sense

Actually, Modern Germany was declared into being at Versailles, the suburbs of Paris inside France, the headquarters of German forces besieging the capital, so imagine not just the shock, but the insult.

So much happens in these alternative universes that can’t be understated. This series is one of the best yet.

You think THIS is bad? Imagine living in the regular show universe. Imagine going to work and when your boss asks you to take out the trash you drop the garbage and each piece of garbage transforms into a garbage monster and attacks you for getting you dirty.

This actually made me think how cool a movie about an average citizen in the MCU experiencing all the events from iron man to endgame would be

I like this and the “What if” battlegroups the most. Lots of potential worlds and battles to explore or deconstruct.

Imagine the council tax with all that wanton destruction?

I mean. That's not really how the rise of Germany would look to the average Frenchman though. The French Army had already been shat on at Sedan and Paris itself was under siege. Hell, the declaration of the German Empire happened in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. There is no way any French farmer would have been so shook by it at the time.

TBH I think the MCU civilians are taking things in stride if they can tolerate ice cream parlors named Infinity Cones.

Great video, love this new series

Not to mention, despite the fact that modern superhero movies take judicious care not to show humans dying or red blood anywhere, the absolutely insane amounts of destruction visible in every movie (measures from city blocks to cities to half the fucking universe) should leave people both immensely angry and hollow from recurring grief. I am surprised the movies just put some happy music and a heroic pose and pretend the day is won and everything has gone back to normal - where are the round-the-clock protests and lawsuits against Stark, or the world governments trying to arrest these people (possibly unsuccessfully, but still), or even some crazy dude with a gun killing Black widow, hawkeye, etc out of revenge?

I want to say that can be applied to superhero universes in general, Marvel, DC, whatever.

Is it for the best or the worst, that, for the most part, supervillains (and antiheroes) take turns engaging in destruction and mayhem in the MCU? (like we get Wanda, Hel, Thanos, Loki, Kilmonger, etc...as opposed to teaming up, ala Sinister Six)

DAMN! That was good. Definitely looking forward to more instalments in this series - always handy to know where *not* to move to.

All of your new concepts have been pretty good! But I have to admit, this one was the best!

While it's true the marvel cinematic universe is crazy, insane, and possibly a down right nightmare, it dose have ONE thing that's great. That cool guy named Stan Lee.

I loved this one ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥. I never dreamed of you guys making one about the MCU being such a huge fan. Such a unique perspective on the world. Awesome content as always.
