Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts Pop Break Podcasting Director Alex Marcus and Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin are taking another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse as the MCU dives deeper into their Multiverse Saga.
Bill & Alex spent all of 2022 rewatching the first four phases of the MCU, and they just spent 2023 covering the first phase of Netflix’s The Defenders Saga and the first four seasons of ABC’s Agents of SHIELD. This year, they journeyed into Fox’s X-Verse with their X-Treme X-Watch.
Now they are back with their Defenders Disassembled miniseries, where they take a tour through all the final seasons of every Marvel Netflix series as they get ready for the triumphant return of Matt, Karen, Foggy, and Frank in Daredevil: Born Again this spring.
Part 2 of their coverage has been a bit delayed, as they took some time to review Deadpool & Wolverine, react to the shocking news that RDJ will be playing Doctor Doom in 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday, and Bill took a much needed trip to Disneyland!
First, check out Bill’s walk through of everything he experienced at Avengers Campus during his Disneyland trip. Then, stick around for an in depth discussion of the criminally underrated second and, sadly, Luke Cage Season 2 (the final season of the series), wherein Luke’s morality is tested as his personal relationships feel the strain of his vigilante life and Harlem is overrun by a bitter family feud between Alfre Woodard’s Mariah Stokes Dillard and Bushmaster, the leader of a Jamaican crime family.
Watch along with us! Next episode’s title is Iron Fist Season 2 (available to stream on Disney+), which will be covered in our episode later this month.
