Did you know there's only one official Marvel Cinematic Universe slated for a 2024 release? That number jumps to three if you include the Sony Venom-Verse movies, but the once mighty MCU is down to a single cinematic release this year. Whether you've kept up with Phases 4 and 5 or not, you're probably aware that Marvel Studios seems to lack direction. Somewhere between a glut of Disney+ content and the conviction of their planned francise villain, Kevin Feigie et al. seem to have lost their way. That's why the Marvel Team has turned to us here at DT!HQ to help determine: What should be the new direction for the MCU?

Todd is going to tell you about the Dark Avengers and you're going to like it. Kyle is going to tell you about House of M and you're going to like it. Andrew's going to tell you about Separation Anxiety and you're going to hate it.
