CineClub vs MCU: Has the MCU lost it’s touch?

Published on: 23rd May, 2025

It’s a controversial topic this week, but a goodie! The team move out of ‘classic’ film territory to examine the post Endgame Marvel and whether it’s now just ‘teasing slop’….

From the questionable MCU humour, the continuity issues, the actors pay and screen time, characters no one cares about and the pace of the storytelling – there’s so much to say this is the longest CineClub episode EVER!

Billy states it’s all about the passion and it’s so obvious if the writer/ director has paid respect to the franchise. Jake says they should just get back to basics and look to the comic books for inspiration. I guess we all hope the producers are listening! Excelsior!

Our presenters are Billy, Jake, Matthew and Rhys. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
