The super-hero genre isn't dying, it's committing suicide.

Thanos may have lost, but he still did exactly what he said he would - bring an end to the avengers.

@masterofbloopers

Even my friends, who are vehement superhero movie haters, went to see Infinity War and Endgame. That's the kind of magic the MCU once held. Crazy how it can all just disappear in the blink of an eye.

@NeroPiroman

endgame was trully the correct title

@BassManDan1018

If ‘No Way Home’ followed ‘End Game’, and then they took a break, and in 2023 Guardians 3 came out, people would still be be seriously hyped about the MCU.

16:14 Jokes on you, the next RDJ is just RDJ playing Dr. Doom

@scarlett8782

how does Disney spend 200 million dollars on a show that is WAY worse than a youtube video? and then get less views than a youtube video as well! it's astonishing.

@Arcademan09

You know what im sick, tired and disgusted by? Having a masked superhero character THAT DOESN'T KEEP THE MASK ON they keep taking it off even just for small talk!

@ballerinaonamusicbox

i dont think they understand their audience grew up and dont want kiddy movies with childish jokes.

@coletussing9534

Another reason why Guardians was low at first was because for everyone, Guardians was the make or break movie for people staying or leaving the MCU for good

@ChadAV69

It took them from 2008 to 2019 to build an empire. It only took them 2 years to completely destroy it. But hey, they know everything and it's really the fans that are the problem.

As soon as Dr. Strange listened to Peter Parker to alter the past or whatever, I knew it was over for the MCU. Dr. Strange was the all-seeing eye of the MCU before Endgame. He was the glue that held everything together, maintained an authoritarian and highly responsible stance and demeanor that no one else could see except him. He had the answer to beating Thanos and yet never told a soul except for one tiny hint to Stark in the end. But then...he does a complete 180, ignores Wong's advice, and quickly does what a teenager wants so he can go to MIT?! That is so highly irresponsible from someone that became a literal god in his abilities and still does something that stupid. Not to mention the cringey manner in which he performed the spell, with no thought process whatsoever. The movie ended up being great with all the nostalgia and all, but I knew the MCU was going to suffer from that day forward. There are just too many possibilities, scapegoats if you will, that now, like many comics before them actually, have absolutely no end to them. Yes, there were The Eternals and that f*cking dumba$$ movie with Strange and Wanda, but those were sidequests...which we all thought it wouldn't be, so then we thought Antman Quantumania would be the one to kickstart it all. Well...not exactly. The one tidbit I did feel had hope in rescuing this debacle in Quantumania was his last scene with the Wasp and Kang which should have ended in the Quantum world, them being trapped and providing us with some sort of cliffhanger that would have made the series interesting again. It also would have made Kang a deeper part of the MCU's future phases and the overall lore. Instead, he dies or disappears or whatever, and Cassie instantly brings the portal back to Scott and Hope, and they all lived happily ever after. It was so dang lame, and incredibly disappointed at Disney for allowing this to happen. That was the final nail in the coffin for the MCU and it's as if they didn't even know it. And they will continue to not realize it. On to the DCU I guess (cringe).

@SpammytheHedgehog

Disney needs to stop and think on why they are failing.

@zachrohler1047

"Mcu" humor has crept its way into everything. I understand what Scorsese meant. Thanks to the mcu, eveeything coming from hollywood has mcu level banter or one liners all the time. Aswell as the flip floppy tone and themes

@MaimutaEvoluata

Here's a cold hard fact: the vast majority of fans have grown up. Not in the sense that we are too old for superhero movies, but that we've seen and experienced all that there was from this franchise, and have now moved on. Here's another: what was achieved this past decade and a half can never be recreated. It was a special and unique era in cinema, a time capsule worth revisiting, but one that also needs to be laid to rest.

@robertluna5737

The problem Disney has is that they are trying to force the backbone character to be Captain Marvel, and nobody is buying it.

@AdamYGO6893

After phase 3, it just became quantity over quality.

With all the shows and movies, it just felt like homework just to keep up.

@wh1msi

I think another thing is that everything is just green screen / cgi now. The characters barely interact with things around them. It makes the movies feel empty and boring to look at

@michaelreich4827

If you're old enough to remember, everything through Endgame was like the WWF Attitude Era. After that is what we have now in both cases.

@J.E.R.O.M.E.

Even greater than having forgettable heroes, the thing that these movies are missing are amazing villains. Someone that is undeniably dangerous, extremely intelligent with a purpose, or someone that's plain fun to watch. Whether you want to watch them because they always give the heroes fits, or because they're so terrifying that you're invested in seeing how in the world the heroes can find a way to defeat them, your villains have to be as big a draw as the heroes. Pink lemonade is underrated and delicious.
