What if Marvel already told us what happens between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars… and we just didn’t realize it?

In this episode of Marvel Maniac, Eric Sequeira (Mr. Honest) explores a theory that the Multiverse Saga may be missing one crucial chapter — a Doctor Strange film that bridges the collapse of reality and the final battle for the multiverse.

From Strange’s philosophy of surrender, to the incursion fallout of Multiverse of Madness, to the possibility that Dormammu could return as a cosmic wildcard, this episode dives into why a Strange-centered story might be necessary to make the saga’s ending feel earned.

Along the way, Eric also talks about the current state of Marvel fandom, the rise of ultra-real AI-generated MCU scenes circulating online, and why the MCU still feels alive between the movies.

If the multiverse is breaking… Doctor Strange might be the only one who understands how to fix it.

I need to start this episode by saying something that doesn’t come easily for me: I was wrong.

I underestimated Wonder Man. I almost skipped it entirely — not because of the cast, not because of the concept, but because of the way Marvel released it. And that nearly cost me one of the most emotionally grounded, character-driven stories the MCU has ever put on Disney+.

This is not a recap episode. This is a reflection and appreciation piece.

In this episode of Marvel Maniac, I break down why Wonder Man works so powerfully — from Simon Williams’ struggle with control, identity, and ambition, to Trevor Slattery’s quietly devastating redemption arc, to the show’s sharp commentary on art, ego, and being seen. We talk about why the Doorman episode reframes the entire series, why the callback episode is one of Marvel TV’s best hours, and how the finale proves Marvel can still deliver something restrained, human, and special when it wants to.

Wonder Man isn’t loud. It isn’t flashy. It doesn’t beg you to care. It earns it.

And by the end, it reminded me exactly why I fell in love with Marvel storytelling in the first place.

_Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 _isn’t just a sequel — it’s one of the most emotionally honest films the MCU has ever made.

This episode isn’t a recap. It’s about why this movie matters — especially on rewatch, and especially as you get older.

We talk about Yondu’s sacrifice and why it hits so hard, not because he dies, but because of where he chooses to die. We explore family in all its forms — chosen family, broken family, sibling trauma, and the kind of love that shows up even after a lifetime of mistakes.

From Yondu and Peter… to Rocket and Groot… to Gamora and Nebula… Guardians Vol. 2 believes that broken people can still choose love — and that choice still counts.

🎧 If this movie ever hit you harder than you expected, this episode is for you.
