PODCAST! Ep. 21. Is Avengers: Endgame good for us or bad for us?

Hey, don’t I get a say here?

Hey, don’t I get a say here?

Jim Slotek, Bonnie Laufer, Thom Ernst and Karen Gordon got together and couldn't decide. Is Avengers: Endgame a brilliant tying together of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, one with heart, soul and life lessons about heroism, sacrifice and bonding? Or is it a brilliant tying together of corporate properties, the culmination of a 10-year plan that has turned us into a society that anticipates movies more than we enjoy them and infantilized our appreciation of storytelling?

Sorry, there is no middle ground. You must choose one.

We talk about this, and people who profess to love Endgame so much, they wish harm on the handful of critics who disagree with them.
