Captain America: Brave New World 2025
It's interesting because there are elements of a story that would be great, but the plot feels like it was really twisted and mangled to accommodate some checklist of "MCU development" things to bridge the gap between older stuff and whatever comes next.

Without elaborating much on the end reveal, its self-obsessed portrayal ultimately encourages destructive conspiracy theorizing more than delivering a meaningful message. Clocking in…

Heat jam-packs ideas and subplots in ways fitting of a modern 10-episode series, and it takes some time setting up. Once the pieces are in play, though, it's a never-ending escalation of tension until credits.
Heat compellingly criticizes destructive masculinity by inverting traditional hero and villain characterizations and examining their relationships. The unkind,…
