Punisher One Last Kill review: The perfect antidote to Marvel’s messy multiverse

Whether you size it up from quality, box office, or pure coherence, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in a serious slump. After the incredible highs of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, which brilliantly connected a decade of cinematic storytelling to close out multiple character arcs and plotlines with a satisfying conclusion, the MCU charted a new course forward into what would eventually be titled “The Multiverse Saga.” Phases 4 through 6, which are set to culminate with two more Avengers movies (Doomsday this December and Secret Wars a year after that), has been marred by controversy, death, and some of the worstmovies to ever come out of Marvel Studios.
