Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross returns to the MCU in Captain America: Brave New World, his largest role yet. Ross has an interesting MCU arc that has largely happened offscreen. He debuted as General Ross in 2008's The Incredible Hulk and returns as the Secretary of State in 2016's Captain America: Civil War.

Several recurring flaws have gripped the majority of Marvel Cinematic Universe productions released after Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Exceedingly crummy visual effects have become commonplace as these projects rush to make release dates in the middle of larger external events like COVID-19 and industry strikes.

Anthony Mackie has faithfully taken over the Captain America shield from Chris Evans. But new Marvel movie "Brave New World" lets its superhero down.

Podcaster Ashley Ray and film writers Adam Nayman and Kaiya Shunyata explain why the film is receiving such harsh reviews.

Brave New World, I have to say the movie is just fine for the MCU and the current phase we’re in. It’s not the Multiverse Saga or Phase 5 or 6 that I’m referring to. We’re in the phase of Marvel fixing the MCU and improving the quality of its movies and TV shows.
