The end of the latest Marvel superhero blockbuster hints at a massive new war for the survival of the multiverse.

Brave New World and why it felt so strange to me. It was meant to be an espionage thriller (spoilers follow) in the vein of The Winter Soldier, and yet there was no real conspiracy (no traitors, just a guy randomly mind-controlling people) and a twist that was given away in the first trailer (Ross turning into Red Hulk in the Rose Garden).

Brave New World fueled the amount of Internet infighting that you'd expect from a modern superhero film. Actually, if we're being honest, the 36th Marvel film—billed as Anthony Mackie's full-fledged debut as the MCU's next Captain America—inspired a little bit more debate than your average superhero joint.

Marvel’s choice to make a Black man the face of American exceptionalism raises questions the film never answers, despite Mackie embodying the duality of Black patriotism.

Brave New World introduces Giancarlo Esposito to the MCU, but his role as Sidewinder feels like a wasted fan-favorite casting.

Brave New World could've fixed The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Power Broker by bringing back Emily VanCamp's Sharon Carter.

Supposedly a reboot of the Captain America character, it has so many callbacks to past films, comic books and situations, it’s impossible to get a bead on what’s what.
