The Marvel Cinematic Universe has made in excess of 23 billion dollars worldwide since Iron Man's debut in 2008 and superhero movies have become so ubiquitous that we take them for granted but this wasn't always the case. When I was younger, the notion that there might be a shared cinematic universe featuring even top tier Marvel characters seemed fanciful, never mind the fact that we now have entire movies dedicated to the exploits of talking foxes and mono-sentenced walking trees. 22 movies later the first phase of Marvel Studio's movies has completed and now it's time for the Bad Dads to have their say. We begin this weeks episode with the top 5 Memorable Marvel Moments and it's fair to say that not all of the Dads have done their homework.
Where else could we start but right at the end with 2019's thrilling conclusion to the epic Infinity War Saga, Avengers: Endgame. Peter Andre is essentially a virgin where it comes to comic book movies - make up your own joke about Marvel nerds being virgins because I seriously can't be bothered - we're sure to scrutinise directors Joe and Anthony Russo's movie unlike anyone else.
Our kids program this week is the animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

It was the first non-Disney/Pixar film to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature since 2011's Rango but does it have enough in it's locker to impress a less than enthusiastic Peter?
