Can Avengers: Doomsday Save the Superhero Genre?

I’m back from the holidays to talk about why Avengers: Doomsday has become the most searched movie of next year—and why so much is riding on it. With Marvel struggling post-Endgame and the superhero genre clearly facing burnout, this new Avengers film feels like a real make-or-break moment.I break down Marvel’s recent missteps, DC’s reboot, the return of legacy characters, Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, and the surprisingly inventive marketing strategy that’s driving the hype.I also wrap up the episode with Songs of the Week, inspired by my Christmas trip to Lisbon, featuring music from the Heated Rivalry soundtrack plus French and Portuguese discoveries.Sponsor: Strong Coffee Company Get 20% off with code OVER SHARE PALM FLIT at strongcoffeecompany.com (https://strongcoffeecompany.com/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET)You can follow me on Instagram and Threads @robscal.jpg, on TikTok @robscal.com and on Twitter @robscaltweets
