Am I wrong for not being excited about Doomsday and Secret Wars?
I'm really not trying to be a hater here, but I just find it hard to get hyped for the upcoming Avengers movies when it seems like Marvel has hit the "PANIC" button and undone a lot of The Infinity Saga's work.
It sucks because, if they had paced out this saga better and used the same few characters regularly, the newbies could've been iconic by now. For example, Shang-Chi had a killer first movie but then they just totally abandoned the character for the next 5 years. Now, when we see him in 'Doomsday', how many people are going to care?
While I'm sure they'll be entertaining enough, these next two Avengers movies just sound like a bunch of random stuff being thrown at the wall without any prior setup. This saga has been about Kang and his variants gradually becoming more and more active over time, yet the final Avengers movies are focusing on RDJ as Doom (still the worst idea ever), Chris Evans as Nomad (?), the Fox X-Men (featuring 85-year-old Professor X and 85-year-old Magneto), and a bunch of characters we haven't seen in 4-5 years.
If you disagree then please explain why you ARE excited for these films?

also stop pleading for validation on your opinion
Yeah ok buddy 🙄
*Nintendo fans are the absolute fucking worst.*
I got a staggering number of downvotes.
Man, are MCU fans becoming just as bad at handling criticism as FNAF fans?? that's unfortunate.
You're on Reddit. Who do you think actually cares if you don't like a superhero movie? 🤨
I’m also not overly excited to see RDJ as Doom. I’m glad others are, but I’m sure he won’t be wearing the mask very much.
I’m sure I’ll feel differently once we see a trailer.
I am disappointed that we basically have been spinning our wheels for 5-6 years, but with that said, the approach of these movies not being the climax excites me because it opens up more potential of what we can see in these movies.
You brought up Shang-Chi and not knowing if anyone will care. If he showed up 5 years before Infinity War and didn’t appear again until then, yeah, nobody would really care because there’s so much going on and payoffs had to be focused on, etc. However, Doomsday could be for Shang-Chi what Hawkeye was for Yelena when she showed up. It’s weird (and honestly shouldn’t really be the case), but instead of these Avengers movies bringing in people and hoping the audience cares about them, they can instead be what is used to make the audience cares about them moving forward.
Feigi messed up big time after Endgame. As soon as they brought back RDJ, I knew they lost the plot and were just scrambling to bring back some hype for the next Avengers movies.
No coherent story arcs or build up whatsoever and that will probably be the reason why Doomsday and SW might flop. Studios just keep taking the audience for granted
There's just not a character that feels important or big enough for me to care as much as I cared for Infinity War, the F4 are finally here but I've seen them only once and that's not enough for me to feel attached to them.
I love Loki but he has "died" so many times that I just don't have any expectations for him and whatever happens to him will not hit me hard anymore.
Everyone else is just there...
You’re wrong for posting a common sentiment on a marvel sub, trying to generate a reaction.
The thing that worries me, as a superfan who has watched all the MCU stuff, is that to make a movie that’s satisfying to me, they need to tie together all the random shit that has happened in the Multiverse Saga. But a movie like that probably isn’t going to be insanely popular, because general audiences haven’t been paying as much attention post-Endgame. So it’s hard for me to imagine them making a pair of movies that have all the mass market appeal that they need to have in order to be considered a “success” and also be a satisfying conclusion to the Multiverse Saga.
I think this is why they're bringing back RDJ and Chris Evans, and making Doomsday a direct sequel to Endgame.
It seems like their plan is to ignore most of the post-endgame stuff and just make this very accessible for everyone who stopped watching back in 2019.
Maybe they can pull it off. Maybe they can make a movie that’s accessible to the “I quit at Endgame” crowd while still entertaining and respects the efforts of the “I watch all MCU content” crowd. Who knows. But the only way I see this ending well for them is if they can hit both targets.
As for the rest of your post, I am not reading all of that mess. Congrats for not being excited, that does not make you any better or worse than any other human clicking onto this post.
Everything we know about the film reeks of desperation given that Johnathan Majors made their Kang plans implode even more than Quantumania dropping the ball already did. I'm more looking forward to Season 2 of X-Men 97, YFNSM, and Born Again myself.
*I thought having Deadpool admit the multiverse hasn't been working out in-film was a sign that they learned their lesson.....*
I'm curious about this Avengers mostly to see how they handle Doom RDJ and connecting the mess they made the last few years. No matter how good or bad it is, it's going to be a very weird movie. Really interested to see if they can land the plane or if it blows up in the air.
I personally feel like the phases leading up to the next avengers movies were poorly crafted. They have so many new heroes to use but they failed to generate enough buzz for them. It’s really unfortunate.
