Well, you say that, but it does feel that we're a little bit... Oh, that high is like kind of peak... I think we peaked a while ago, right? Like, the peak was Endgame, right? And since then, I feel like we've been coming off... Not just movies, but everywhere. I mean, look, Suicide Squad was no good, right? The Avengers game. But Spider-Man hits and you go crazy for a superhero game.

I mean, I'm just saying there's like... Post-Endgame, whether it be movies or... Up until Endgame, you just knew that pretty much every movie was going to be a banger, right? And now it's like, eh, who knows? One's good, one's bad. And with the games now, it's like, okay, great, you've got Captain America in it, but that's no guarantee it's going to be any good.

The guarantee is, well, who's making it, right? If it's Insomniac, you're going to go, oh, yeah, no doubt, right? Of course. This team, we don't know too much. Other than Amy, we don't know too much about who's making this game.

Marvel Rivals is a great example. And that was a tough... Again, look at Concord, right? Look at some of these other... And Overwatch even has fallen off badly. That's a tough... Marathon... the vibes are very mixed right now. That's a tough genre to go into. And again, I just feel like there is genuinely a little bit of superhero fatigue. They've acknowledged that.

Maybe we should make a little bit less of this stuff instead of constantly asking ourselves how much money can we make. And I'm glad they've started to ease off a little bit and focus on quality rather than quantity. But in terms of this specific game, again, cinematics, obviously world-class.

It might be a game awards thing as opposed to the end of the year. Who knows? Again, we'll see it when we see it. Again, I don't. understand the mentality, oh, we've got to wait longer for this game.

I'm all for it. What announcement would you rather hear? We're pushing it back six months to get it right, or... It's going to be a struggle. It might not have everything ready, but it's going to be out this Christmas no matter what. Don't worry about it.
