As it relates to Ben asking about Marvel interest.
There is still plenty of interest in the Marvel cinematic universe going forward even with Endgame closing the book on characters like Iron Man and Captain America. Disney + coming with series taking place in universe, this next phase seeming to want to focus on the multiverse which is rumored to be bringing all other Marvel franchises outside of Marvel Studios into cannon, as well as Marvel getting the rights back to the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and the Netflix characters.
The hype level did certainly dip after Endgame, but it's been rising back up recently as more previews of Wandavision release, rumors of Sony's previous Spider-Men showing up in Doctor Strange or the 3rd Tom Holland film, as well as various rumblings of when the X-Men or Mutants in general may start to become known in the MCU.
The track record for films is still incredibly strong for Marvel Studios and until that starts to falter I don't see the excitement going away. It May rise and dip, but it's definitely not on its last legs
Overall I do enjoy Dan as I feel he provides a good contrast to most of the other members of Giant Bomb and his ignorance to things that most people would find as common knowledge can be hilarious to listen to, but sometimes his views are so narrow minded and like that of a 13 year old child that it really tends to irritate me.
I can totally understand Spider-Man's quippiness being irritating, but to say the character isn't badass or cool because he's not a generic, big, grizzled, muscly dude drives me nuts. I was glad to hear him get called out on it.
