      @@Kyle_Hubbard It can never be truly determined who is the best at football ever, but in sports like high jumping or swimming, the record is time or height, and then the sensible limit to use would be unaltered human on earth. And as long as that is a constant, then swimming can kinda be working towards this ideal record that no-one throughout time can beat. Football on the other hand is a league game, so the best record you can hold is x number of wins in a row, but x has no limit. There is something deeply unsatisfying about that to some people, a primal fear that this sisyphean game is going to plague the human race for eternity

    It's also a perfect depiction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Dozens upon dozens of film hours, each more climactic than the last. A constant, dizzying array of characters and battles, every punch massively mattering to someone presumably. The MCU is officially going on forever. It will never be finally decided who has won the MCU.
