Stealing Cable’s time-travel watch to go back in time and ***** Kevin Feige and Ryan Reynolds in the **** before they find out about the concept of the Multiverse and bring about the slow, painful death of the comic book movie genre due to endless cameos, Glup Shitto moments, carefully PR-managed meme fodder and intertextuality to fulfil a million nerds’ most pedestrian fanfics in place of story or character development.
The MCU gets a lot of [deserved] flak for how…
