How most of the heroes will cameo in Doomsday
With the amount of heroes reportedly showing up in Avengers, I really can’t see how most of them would be any more than a few frames of footage. There just isn’t enough screen time for them all to be anything substantial. I suspect there’ll be some kind of ‘call to arms’ type meeting ending in most of the heroes getting wiped out in one blow.

It is a crutch to use when you haven’t developed compelling narratives or multi-movie arcs.
End Game struggled with it honestly, but that’s okay because we got to focus on the original 6 + Ant-Man , who was absent from Infinity War. And everyone who disappeared had their moment in Infinity War anyways.
Bucky's a politician now when there's no buildup to that from TFaTWS, so it feels like we missed an important chapter in his story (I don't remember if it was properly addressed in BNW or not in his brief cameo when Torres is wounded)
Ghost knows Val and works for her, but there's never been any traction between AM+TW and Quantumania, so that feels like we missed a proper Ant-Man 3 (QM always felt more like a Kang film anyway) that could have ended with Val approaching her at the end to set this up properly
Alexei has some backstory already, but nothing with Val. Though he tags along with Yelena perfectly well, so that's cool
Antonia knows Val and works for her, when we last saw her chronologically 11 years ago - so that's a ***massive*** chunk of time we have just as a blank spot
Yelena was approached by Val pre-Hawkeye about working together, so they already have some kind of *working* relationship as it is - so that's good
Walker has been approached by Val before, and there was a clear setup for him working for her - so that's all cool
But then I see this comic panel, where everyone is in their own headquarters, and they all still have their masks on…like…it’s ok yall, everybody knows everybody’s secret identity here. Yall can take it off and get comfortable. 😅
Bringing her back in the story, and even having the 2 second face reveal just to say "yes, this is the same character and yes we managed to get the same actress back"
Just to blow her head off straight away in the next minute
***Why??***
For what it's worth I liked Taskmaster. But lots of people were predisposed to not like her because she doesn't wear the incredibly silly comic book costume.
It sounded good because it sounded like both of them would get some overdue depth and development at least. But I'm still fine with TM getting killed in that version of the story too, because I'm still a little curious about Anthony Masters at least. If she survives to the Watchtower like the rest of the TB and Bob/Sentry does something genuinely superhuman that she can't possibly hope to replicate, so she becomes overpowered and killed, that feels like to makes sense as far as powers go
Can’t think of anything else
Someone on this board should put a poll together listing every single MCU character and then we can vote that each one of them either lives past Secret Wars or dies.
