"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I'm looking at Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4. In the first part I look at the successes of the Infinity Saga, and how Disney wanted Kevin Feige to "Feed the Monster" post pandemic, especially with the launch of Disney+. While there are still successes in the early part of Phase 4, there are also signs of what was to come in Phase 5. In the second part, I look at 2022 for Phase 4, and how we could see things turning a bit more, and how "feeding the monster" was starting to see lesser results. From there I talk about the current movie environment. Is the lack of success of comic book movies a sign of "comic book fatigue," or do people just want more variety? And what does that variety look like?
