I enjoy watching your videos more than the movies themselves. ❤️

2024-06-26 00:51:13 +0000 UTCGreat video even if it is just a rough cut but i wanna ask... is Ant-Man 1 gonna be next for part 5?

2024-05-04 17:47:36 +0000 UTCMostly because it wasn't a Sh*t Show and that video was already long enough. I'll cover it when I get around to Civil War, because it's important to that story.

2024-04-29 16:35:57 +0000 UTCOkay nice, i mean it's fine if you dive straight in phase 3 and mention the greatest sequel during a civil war video.

2024-04-28 07:43:37 +0000 UTCWhy did we skip the Winter Solider?

2024-04-22 00:26:49 +0000 UTCJust this video alone was worth the cost of entry.

2024-04-18 03:08:25 +0000 UTCThe mcu series is by far my fav legacy series on the sh*t show vids. Understandable why you’re holding onto part 4 for a while, but happy to still be in the patreon to come back and continue to constantly re-watch parts 1-4

2024-04-04 11:01:11 +0000 UTCA great video, a wonderful one, i loved it. But the real question... why skip CA: The Winter Soldier Movie and head straight to Age of Ultron. Gotta at least do its retrospective too.

2024-03-13 10:02:14 +0000 UTCThe inserts of Ultrons lines when talking about Whedons directing struggles really makes think things🤔
