After the gravitas of Avengers: Infinity War, which ended in a blaze of glory only for the villain, what did we want next? A fun, lighthearted romp of a movie. Right? No?

Tim and Emmet examine the good and bad of the shows, and some real problems that are developing as the Universe continues to expand.
