The Multiverse Saga kicked off with the MCU’s Phase Four and will conclude with the completion of Phase Six. The projects released so far have proven hit or miss, with endeavors like “Loki” soaring high while others like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” crashed and burned. Additionally, the sheer number of big and small screen projects has made keeping up a chore. Thus, fan interest in the Multiverse Saga and the MCU as a whole has waned, with little hope for the future. In a Reddit thread regarding Daniel Richtman’s MCU rumors, fans explained some of the reasons for their lack of enthusiasm.
“They also keep [introducing] new characters and sidelining main characters for years at a time. It really doesn’t feel like there’s consistency or a plan,” commented u/jrinredcar, with others highlighting how the lack of focus on the new Avengers team hurts the Multiverse Saga. When the group inevitably reforms, it’ll lack impact. Building on another comment, u/LatterTarget7 addressed the Multiverse Saga’s shortcomings, writing, “For the Multiverse Saga, there doesn’t feel to be a whole lot of multiverse.” Kang’s portrayal is a point of contention for u/Linnus42, who called out the villain’s loss to Ant-Man. How is such an easy defeat supposed to put Kang on the same level as the near-unstoppable Thanos (Josh Brolin)?
All in all, MCU fans have had difficulty investing in the Multiverse Saga for several reasons. Hopefully, the remaining installments — chiefly “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” — can stick the landing.
