Amazing - deserves more than five stars

Honestly this book couldn’t have come out at better time. This review is being written in 2023. The year has been for better or worse, an important inflection point for the MCU as a whole. This book however is an incredible time capsule. It captures the history of the MCU from inception to its current form in 2023 in great detail. As a fan who grew up watching the MCU become what it is today, this book offered a great look back at how it all came together in such a great way. Unfortunately 2023 is also the year when the MCU could not have been a worse position. I would love to see these authors track the movements of the MCU for the next decade and for us to get a sequel to this book and see where the MCU is at. This book also offers a cautionary tale of how when something becomes big and successful, corporate greed and excess including unforeseen world circumstances can cause the downfall of even the largest titan.
