Summary
Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans’ presentation at the Academy Awards fell flat, with their attempted banter receiving little to no reaction from the audience.

Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
RDJ and Evans try to revive the MCU’s spark, but it’s just not happening. The Avengers “reunion” feels like a forced attempt to cling to past glory. The Disney-owned ABC network tries to shoehorn in cross-promotional programming, but it bombs. The bit’s failure sparks a mix of mourning and rejoicing on social media. The MCU’s juice is all but dead and buried.
MCU’s magic is now just a relic of the past, and it’s time to face it.
