As the Multiverse Saga has played out, Marvel Studios’ track record of delivering engaging, entertaining superhero films has been shaken some. Films like “The Marvels” bombed at the box office, and shows such as “Secret Invasion” struggled with critics and general audiences alike. Still, that’s not to say that there haven’t been triumphs, like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Loki,” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” — Marvel’s only Certified Fresh film of 2022 on Rotten Tomatoes — to name a few. Unsurprisingly, loads of people are of the belief that the MCU should’ve stuck around post-“Avengers: Endgame” after all, and are glad that it has.
“Everyone says it would have been perfect but naaaah, Lord knows I need my yearly dose of MCU movies,” wrote u/Nominay in regard to the MCU ending after “Endgame” question, with another Redditor highlighting that there would’ve been far too many stories left untold if the MCU ended there. “Not being able to see the return of iconic characters such as Wolverine, Tobey and Andrew’s Spidey and introduction of Fantastic four etc., doesn’t sit right with me,” commented u/Smaragd44.
Regardless of which side of the debate you stand on, the fact is that the MCU has endured long after the premiere of “Avengers: Endgame.” Will the Multiverse Saga live up to the legacy of the Infinity Saga in the end? All we can do is wait and see as the MCU’s future phases unfold on screens big and small.
