Adam Fantilli, the talented ice hockey center for the Columbus Blue Jackets, recently expressed his deep love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) during a fascinating conversation on the popular podcast Spittin’ Chiclets.
When co-host Paul Bissonnette asked about Fantilli’s love of Avengers and similar films, the youngster stated:
“Recently, I have to make a disclaimer. Recently, the last couple of movies haven’t been that great. I’ve been a little disappointed, but I just love them.”
In response to Bissonnette’s question about the appeal of the MCU, Fantilli elaborated:
“I just kind of grew up loving those kinds of movies.”
Fantilli couldn’t help but express his feelings about the declining quality of the latest films. However, as a fan growing up, Fantili’s admiration for the MCU was unwavering. His connection to the movies even extended beyond his own experiences, as he discovered that his teammates, Cody Glass and Devin Levy, were also avid Marvel fans. Fantilli enthusiastically shared:
“While we were overseas, I found out that Cody Glass and Devin Levi were both huge Marvel fans. So we were all talking about it.”
Fadili recounted a time when his parents surprised him and his teammates with a special outing to see the new Doctor Strange movie in Latvia. He remembered:
“My parents came in so I got to go to dinner, but they also went to see the new Doctor Strange movie in Latvia. So it was kind of crazy.”
However, despite the excitement surrounding these past experiences, Fantilli didn’t shy away from his disappointment with Marvel’s recent releases.
Ryan Whitney, one of the podcast’s hosts, chimed in with a light-hearted comment when Fantilli shared his thoughts. Whitney exclaimed playfully.
“Hey, Luke comes over with a cigar and a beer. He’s like, what’s up, nerds?”
Adam Fantilli’s candid expression of his frustration with recent Marvel movies reveals the complicated nature of being a devoted fan.
