Summary
For over a decade, Marvel built the most successful cinematic universe in history — but lately something feels… off. In this episode of Geeks From The Multiverse , we ask the uncomfortable question: has Marvel lost its narrative discipline? From the clear storytelling spine of Phases 1–3 to the scattered expansion of Phase 4 and beyond, we break down what changed — and why fans are starting to feel the cracks. Expect sharp takes, brutal honesty, and a deep dive into whether Marvel’s biggest problem isn’t diversity, politics, or even bad movies… but a loss of storytelling focus. In this episode: • Why the early MCU felt like one giant story • The problem with launching characters without follow-through • Whether legacy swaps happened too fast for audiences to care 👍 If you’re listening on YouTube, jam that like button and subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes. 🎧 Find the show + all links here: gftmpodcast.bio.link #GeeksFromTheMultiverse #Podcast #GeekCulture #Marvel #MCU
