WSJ’s Marvel Makeover: Lies, Spin & Kevin Feige COPIUM!

Today on Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse Blaze Snider eviscerates the recent Wall Street Journal puff piece defending Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige with a flamethrower of facts. In a shameless display of corporate propaganda, the article heaps all praise for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s past successes onto Feige while bending over backward to deflect any blame for the franchise’s current failures. Jesse dives in line by line, exposing the spin, deflating the copium, and reminding audiences that the real problem isn’t budgets, actors, or fan fatigue—it’s the consistently poor writing and increasingly lifeless direction under Feige’s watch for the past five years. This is the MCU takedown you didn’t know you needed.
