Think tanks should copy Marvel's approach to storytelling.

It probably won’t surprise anyone that I spent my formative years reading a mountain of things about elves and spaceships and superheroes. Yes, I am a nerd. And this nerd is really excited about Avengers: Infinity War.

I’ve spent more hours than I care to admit re-reading recaps of all the Marvel films, looking back through the Infinity War comics, and sharing theories about who makes it out alive.

It’s also led me to do some thinking about just how sprawling the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become. So far, there are 18 films, 10 television series, 5 short films, two digital-only series, 29 tie-in comic books, and 9 video game tie-ins.
