The way I have viewed the Marvel Cinematix Universe is that it’s like a really fun TV show with an insane budget. Some movies and series are better than others, but I’m always entertained and excited for what’s next.

Finally watched Captain America: Brave New World before seeing Thunderbolts tonight.
Was it a top tier Marvel movie? No. But it was still really fun and has me very intrigued about what’s coming, which is why I’ve always loved these movies.
