Thank you so much for bringing back Marvel Vs Capcom! I hope the collection is a huge success, which I have no doubt it will be, but hopefully Marvel will see how much the fighting game community would love for the Marvel Vs Capcom series to continue.

I'm super happy to report that this podcast episode was great and very insightful! Kevin Feige was a great guest to bring on for the first episode, and he had a lot of insightful and very exciting information to share about MCU projects coming to us in the near future. I know some people were kind of worried this would just be a corporate puff piece type of podcast, but it actually has a lot more to offer compared to other similar types of podcasts. I'm excited to check out the next episode whenever it's available! 🙌🏽

Fantastic Four being in an alternate universe is interesting but being set in the 60s wasn't surprised

[@yasirkhan11156]

My parents said if I hit 2k they'd buy mea professional camera begging you guys literally begging😢😢😢❤❤

[@PauTheDeo]

I'm not a huge fan of it being in an alternate universe, but it does means changes can be made to human history regarding the Space Race.

[@PauTheDeo]

So far that reason, I do think it's probably a good decision

[@raidenstark315]

​@@PauTheDeowas a practical choice, as the fantastic four are public celebrities, would be challange to retcon them on the main mcu. That's why an alternate universe was chosen, i'm pretty sure they took peyton reed's idea for the setting and also from multiple fans speculations online, personally i belive was matt shakman's idea the retrofuturistic setting

[@GreaterPhenom]

​@@raidenstark315it's not that deep, Marvel is just doing this now because it's the multiverse saga of MCU.

Well done. I enjoyed myself, and I hope to hear more about this podcast in the future.

[@enderprodigy3167]

I too am a huge marvel fan and have been working on a single theory since the first Avengers. It's long and very involved. I wouldn't have put so much effort into it if I wasn't sure it was really part of canon. I believe I've become wise to some of feiges plans and major reveals utilizing and untangling dialogue and hidden moments onscreen that hold more significance than audience members realize. I'm a hardcore movie buff and grew up reading comics learning mythos and physics. I utilize all the tools in my bag to analyze the content onscreen and am begging for a community of individuals to get on board because this is literally so much fun to untangle. I've heard many content creators come close to my theory but always miss critical components and seem to lack the ability to see the overarching dialogue connecting all the movies. I'm still stuck in getting people to just understand what the infinity Saga timeline is. much less expose to them how Loki and Thanos both averted their destined deaths in HWR finite universe. Many timeloops and retrocausal moments happening simultaneously from many characters subjective point of view. I don't know everything but what I believe I do know may shock you. Your comment sounded exactly how I started unlocking the secrets of the timeloop paradox that are occurring. I also follow weapons and the gems logical progression. I believe in particular the shield was destined for Sam for reasons Cap cannot divulge. I'm telling you this to lure you in. the canon that will back it up may reveal much so I'll leave this comment as the spoiler warning. I'll only post here if your interested.
