CAP 4 is being RESHOT a 3RD TIME…?! (She-Hulk ERASED? Venom/Spidey CROSS-OVER eminent?! Downey Doom?! Can anything SAVE the MCU?!)

That's right people, this just in, "Captain America: Brave New World" starring Anthony Mackie as his character The Falcon (Sam Wilson) becoming the new sentinel of liberty has been scheduled for its THIRD ROUND of RESHOOTS after a disastrous second round of "test screenings" and tepid reaction to the film's trailer! Despite a willingness to adjust to the demands of the audience who attended these screenings, are the "RIGHT" changes being made to right the ship long term? Or does a second round of terrible reviews from test audience after HUGE, COSTLY RESHOOTS spell disaster for Cap 4 & the MCU in general? Jesse Blaze Snider the Coolest Geek Alive has quite a lot to say about Marvel's inability to adjust to the tastes of their true audience.
