Marvel dropped the cast announcement for Avengers: Doomsday — and instead of breaking the internet, they broke our brains. In this episode of Meanwhile Back on the Podcast, Frank, Brad, and Rich dive into the most bizarre reveal strategy Marvel's ever attempted: five hours of empty chairs. We break down the full cast list, including some surprise returns from the Fox X-Men universe, and debate whether this signals a bold new chapter… or the end of the road.

Expect a no-holds-barred conversation from three lifelong fans with marketing, storytelling, and industry experience. We talk hype vs. execution, Marvel’s misfires, the state of the fandom, and the deep creative and financial questions this announcement raises.

Also in this episode:
 – Our pitch for how they should’ve done it
– Theories about RDJ as Doom
– Is Marvel testing us or just winging it?
– A roast of the entire event (with love)
