The MCU Fundamentally Misunderstood Spider-Man! May 06, 2026

Show notes

The Russo Brothers just CONFIRMED why the MCU changed Spider-Man’s origin story… and honestly? It might completely misunderstand what makes Peter Parker one of the greatest superheroes of all time. In this episode of Absolute Geek, we dive DEEP into the shocking revelation that the MCU intentionally avoided making Peter Parker responsible for Uncle Ben’s death — and why that changes EVERYTHING about Spider-Man’s character, motivation, and emotional core. Was Spider-Man always supposed to be built on guilt, sacrifice, and consequence? Did Marvel accidentally turn Peter Parker into “Iron Man Jr.”? And did Spider-Man: No Way Home FINALLY fix the character after years of getting him wrong?

Avatar State Is Broken And It's A Huge Problem: Episode 390 Apr 18, 2026

Show notes

Did they just break one of the most important parts of Avatar lore? In this episode of Absolute Geek, we dive deep into the latest Avatar project and break down what works… and what really doesn’t. From a nerfed Avatar State to questionable power scaling, this version of Aang feels very different from what fans remember—and not in a good way. We’re talking about how this compares to Avatar: The Last Airbender, where the Avatar State was the ultimate trump card, versus what we’re seeing now—and why it just doesn’t hit the same. We also touch on similarities to The Legend of Korra and whether those same storytelling issues are showing up again.
