[Commlist] New issue Science Fiction, Film and Television

The latest issue of /SCIENCE FICTION FILM & TELEVISION /is now available 
online.
Liverpool University Press is pleased to inform you of the latest 
content in /_SCIENCE FICTION FILM & TELEVISION 
<https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/journals/id/54/volume/15/issue/6684/>_//_ (SFFTV), 
_/a highly regarded publication that is essential reading for those 
working in and researching Science Fiction studies.
_Volume 18.1 
<https://liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/toc/sfftv/18/1>_ contains a 
special feature born out of a spirit of impish provocation following the 
commercial failure of /The Marvels/ (2023). The contributors to this 
issue suggest that this provocation itself came on the heels of a long 
run of disappointing films and series across the entirety of the Marvel 
Cinematic Universe (MCU)’s post-/Endgame/ “Phase Four” (2021–22) and 
“Phase Five” (2023–25) that, collectively, suggested the 
twenty-plus-film series had finally reached the point of diminishing 
returns.  If the MCU as we once knew it is finished, in whatever sense 
and to whatever extent we decide that’s true, the four short pieces that 
follow offer tools that might help us start to figure out what comes next.
