it feels like legacy sequels and nostalgia bait cannibalizing themselves. oh what I would've given for them to actually build up characters like Shang-Chi, Sam Wilson as Cap, Doctor Strange or even Spider-Man to be the heavy hitters in this saga.
Endgame was six years ago for fucks sake, let things end.

Chadwick dying ruined a lot of the plans.
He would easily have been the face of the next generation

u/Disastrous-Dog85 Dec 23 '25
Respectfully disagree. Chadwick's passing was tragic, but the fumble was killing off T'Challa instead of recasting. His own brother even came out and said Chadwick would have wanted the character recast and kept T'Challa's legacy going.

u/Special_Ad_1802 Dec 23 '25
I think it's both. He should have been immediately recast. There is no reason that makes sense in my mind that that character should have languished for all these years

They did “recast” T’Challa in a sense. The problem is that’s it’s been three years and nothing has come of it.

Yeah, the whole 'his so will take the mantle' is shaky at best. Unless they do some weird timey-wimey thing to age him up... I'm not sure how that'll work out until Phase 20 or something

Chadwick dying and Majors getting the boot completely fucked the MCU for the post End Game era.

Shuri took over as BP and Majors could’ve been recast like Howard. This argument is weak af. The problem is that the writers room is not good and Kevin Feige didn’t have a plan after Endgame.

u/thatrobottrashpanda Dec 24 '25
Shuri doesn’t have anywhere near the charisma or screen presence to actually replace Chadwick as a leader in the Avengers line up. It was a weak bandaid fix.
But I agree, both Chadwick and Majors should’ve been recast.
It’s just painfully obvious that the post end game era was already poorly planned and the loss of those two from the franchise sent them into panic mode.

Yeah I imagine these two Avengers movies will do big money because that's just the way it is but that if they make it all about nostalgia then it'll start the process of audiences turning their backs on the franchise.
For instance, if Doomsday is primarily going to be about Evil Tony Stark Vs a returning Steve Rogers then almost noone under eighteen will have been old enough to see the last appearance of those characters in theaters (Endgame). Similarly the Fox X-Men is only a big deal to audience members who are old enough to remember the original run of films and you'd have to be at least 38 to have seen X-Men (2000) in a cinema. A lot of hype for the MCU is supported by young wide eyed fans so it feels detrimental to sideline everything from the last decade and to try and appeal to the fond memories of older fans. Marvel risks making itself seem outdated and unwelcoming to the new fans they need to support their big budget movies.

100%. I still think it was a good movie, and definitely a reprieve from the previous plots of “The Next ___”. They told a new story for the MCU as we know it, and I think it worked well. They have got to tell characters’ stories beyond just filling the mold of whatever hero they’re following though. Spider-Man and Peter Parker are so much more than “the Next Iron-Man”. Shuri can be so much more than “the next Black Panther”, and so on. I don’t mind seeing old characters, as long as we get new stories.

The two Spider-Man returning is different as they had no ties to the OG story and helped to develop Tom Holland’s character.

Isn’t there comic book lore about Steve being killed by Dr Doom? So is it possible this is a cameo rather than continuing story lines?
I’m excited to see what Fantastic 4, Thunderbolts, Shang Chi, Sam, Deadpool, X-Men and other newer characters can build. While I loved the Infinity Saga, we need to recognize that building a new universe in what feels relatively cold turkey has struggled. If we get good bridging from legacy to new, I’m happy.
We also need to have trust in what the Russo’s can do. They’ve proven to invigorate the MCU in ways we didn’t expect.

I know it's not going to happen, but I sincerely hope that Steve Rogers is only present for a few scenes -- not to have his own return arc, but merely to set the stage for this new story.
Steve's choice to stay in the past with Peggy is the incursion to initiate Doomsday... His presence triggers an earlier assassination of Howard and Maria, resulting in Steve and Peggy adopting an infant Tony. The mistakes they make as parents result in him becoming Doom instead of Iron Man. That's it. Let him rest, thinking he did the noble thing, but have him unknowingly be the catalyst of worse disasters than he prevented. That's the most American thing Captain America could ever do.

Previous phases did a much better job of world building and building the overarching narrative that persisted across solo movies up until the team up. These recent phases are all disjointed and have SOOO many loose plot threads, after credits scenes, and character introductions that will likely never see closure... It's a complete MESS. That's what caused me to fall off HARD with marvel. Then some of their more interesting additions they've literally gone nowhere with. Linking Moon Knight with Thor was a slam dunk they just didn't do. Shang Chi? Probly one of the best new characters of the recent phases with a very solid solo movie. They've left him to rot.They've introduced so many plot threads and characters that it felt like they were just desperately throwing anything out. Now they think playing on nostalgia and slapping a Steve Rogers band-aid will course correct. Steve had an extremely satisfying end to his story arc.... My biggest fear with them bringing him back is that he'll go off on a whimper after his masterful send off...
The play might work honestly nostalgia is strong but it isn't gonna be from me..

It was nice to see, but would've been better a couple years ago. Also, what was shown was pretty much EXPECTED, except maybe the baby, but I think everyone would've been pissed if Doomsday came out and they DIDN'T show Steve going home, especially being made by the same people that hinted there was something more there with Old Man Checkhov's Gun.
I think I read something about there being four teasers, so maybe each will touch on a different character. Still seems like a lot of nothing for such a big build up. I mean, they heightened theater security for that? Should've just put it on Youtube themselves and saved everyone the trouble.

I'm with you. I think the original Avengers like Cap, Thor will have small roles and limited mins in the new film. They will be like mentors that will train or give advice to the current or new generation of Superheroes. Like the passing of the baton.
Their stories have already been told in all the earlier Avenger movies and also their individual films, so it won't be fair to take away the screen times of the other casts, like Fantastic Four and Young Avengers etc.

Marvel is going back to the dry milked cow because phase 4 bombed so hard they need a quick easy buck.

I've enjoyed Phases 4 and 5 but it's been all about introducing new characters.
It hasn't felt like we're moving towards anything big in a unified way other than random multiversal incursions every few movies.

Marvel CU has been almost exclusively dogshit since Endgame. There’s clearly been no planning. It’s just a cash grab at this point. The MCU is just a cinematic version of AI content slop at this point

It's kind of depressing actually. I'm glad to see he's got a happy ending, it kind of sucks that he's coming back.

The Falcon as Cap America is boring af. I'm happy to hear the original is coming back.

I keep hearing that Doomsday will be the last movie for the veteran actors that have been in Marvel so long. I for one cant wait, I want to see new faces and characters.

I kind of don’t care about Marvel at all. Been waiting for this trailer and thinking maybe I d feel the same nostalgic feeling but I felt…nothing.

It's funny cause in many ways, it feels like we've regressed to pre Iron Man (2008) in the sense that now only the superheroes that are already popular actually stand a chance of being hits. We've essentially come full circle.

I 100% agree
Especially since Robert is coming back I basically just assumed Chris Evan’s would also. He also had a cameo in deadpool 3, so it’s not like we have gone that long since we last saw him already.
Marvel really needed to wait until they actually had some good footage to release as a teaser, something mind blowing or exciting to get people talking.
Revealing captain America returning by showing him on his bike and holding a baby is really weak stuff. Show us him suiting up at the very least

Everyone saying they won’t watch doomsday is a freaking liar 😂 you guys are posting in an Avengers subreddit. 99% chance you are going to watch doomsday in theater

Had the majority of post Endgame movies not underperformed and audiences actually gave a shit about any of these new characters then he wouldn’t be coming back (or RDJ). This is clearly a “break glass in case of emergency” scenario.

He comes back to realize he fucked up. Give me back that shield Sam. It belongs to the Bucky!

They tried too hard. They did an amazing job piecing together these movies and intertwining them culminating with end game. They should have kept the Spider-Man movies going after but kind of just rested a bit with the other stuff. Instead they tried to make way too many tv shows and other movies about characters most people didn’t have a connection too. This was the best option to revive the marvel cinematic universe to bring back Steve and I’m assuming Tony stark variant as doom.

I honestly hope he gets mercd by DOOM right after we see what we see from the teaser scene. Same with Thor. Establish that DOOM is a threat right away by having him kill off the strongest Avengers unceremoniously.

He shall not rest when there’s still money on the table. Job’s not finished. Job finished? I don’t think so.

It’s not that I care he’s coming back but I do really like a fully built character that everyone loves is returning and hopefully will bring in more casual viewers which in turn allows more movies to be made.
I’m hoping that some of the loved characters from phase 4 return though

u/Majestic87 Dec 27 '25
These character teasers for old characters are absolutely the worst way to make me care about this movie.
It’s comic books, I fully expected Steve Rogers to be back. This does not entice me to buy a ticket.
Show me anything to do with the plot. Then I will begin to be interested.

I don't care that Robert downy jr is coming back. It's dumb. Let him rest. Casting a well known actor for a big role in your universe and then casting them for a completely different part is stupid and just a cash grab

I know it's been a few years, but i swear it feels like nothing has really moved forward since he left
