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

Great video even if it is just a rough cut but i wanna ask... is Ant-Man 1 gonna be next for part 5?
Ian
Mostly 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.

Okay nice, i mean it's fine if you dive straight in phase 3 and mention the greatest sequel during a civil war video.

Why did we skip the Winter Solider?

Just this video alone was worth the cost of entry.

The 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

A 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.
Alex Vashus
The inserts of Ultrons lines when talking about Whedons directing struggles really makes think things🤔
Louis Murphy
Great editing, and fantastic storytelling as always! Can’t wait to see what you deliver next.

Alan Seawright
