Deadpool & Wolverine rebuilt MCU momentum. Captain America: Brave New World spent it. We break down why this film's stacked cast, a genuinely interesting Harrison Ford arc, and the long-awaited introduction of Red Hulk don't get the job done. We also make the case that the richest mine in this entire film isn't Sam Wilson or Thaddeus Ross, it's Isaiah Bradley, and why a split-timeline Disney+ series around him would be the smartest move Marvel could make right now. Plus: hot takes on 17 years of MCU, a full MCU trivia round, and two guests who may have more interesting film projects underway than anything we reviewed. Expect deep (but not too deep) analysis, wild speculation, and more than a few heroic one-liners as the team debates Marvel’s future. If you're a Marvel fan, a casual viewer, or just someone who enjoys hearing grown adults argue about capes, this one's for you.

Sam Wilson has the shield. Harrison Ford has the best arc in the film. And somehow Captain America: Brave New World still doesn't have a main character. We break down what went wrong, what worked, and what Marvel should do next — including the one character from this film who deserves his own series.
