"Pay Attention" To Clues? Why the Russos's Ask is Insulting

The Russo Brothers have a message for Marvel fans: "Pay Attention." In this episode of The Nerd Gen Report, we explain why that quote is insulting and why we are tired of doing "homework" to understand the MCU. We also break down the wildest rumors for Avengers: Doomsday and the future of the X-Men and The Wolverine. We also discuss the Punisher and his "Seamless" transition from his brand of violence to the Spider-man Brand New Day. • The "Homework" Controversy: The Russo Brothers claim their new teasers are "clues" and "stories." We argue that it's their job to entertain us, not give us assignments like a teacher. We discuss the "fall-off" in Marvel's visual effects and storytelling.• RDJ is Tony Stark AND Doom?: New rumors suggest Robert Downey Jr. will play a version of Tony Stark and Doctor Doom in the same movie, without explaining why they look alike until Secret Wars.• Two Wolverines: Kevin Feige reportedly wants Hugh Jackman's "Old Man Logan" to coexist with a brand new, younger Wolverine actor in the X-Men reboot. We debate if having two Logans on screen will confuse audiences.• Punisher Goes PG-13: Jon Bernthal says his new Disney+ appearance fits "seamlessly" with the Netflix era, but we worry about losing the "sadism" and violence that defines Frank Castle.• Hawkeye's Death?: With Season 2 rumors heating up, we predict Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton won't survive past episode 4 to give Kate Bishop the spotlight.
