Doomsday
Disclaimer: (i didn’t see a second of any MCU movie until I binged all of them in Covid and I instantly loved it) I don’t know why people are so surprised by this. This last phase hasn’t been as great I kind of tuned out after Loki and Falcon/Winter Soldier. But the whole multiverse gave them the wiggle room to do this right? (Bringing back Steve rogers, hemsworth Thor, and RDJ being the main villain) of course they’re doing this bringing back the main 3. So why are people so upset? The last phase hasn’t done nearly as well as the one with the Big 3 in it. So of course they bring them back because they have the multiverse as the scape goat. Please tell me if I’m completely off base on this ive not read a single word of any comics either

However it seems the MCU just wants to rehash 2008-2019 Infinity Saga rather than take creative risks on a new saga with new characters or actors as characters we already know.
Except I'm not and I'm actually of the opinion the MCU needs to be Reset and majority of the characters recasted especially Steve/Tony/Logan. We had over a decade with these actors iterations of these characters, and I don't want to see them 'till their 90' playing these characters.
But, nope, there will be a scene, mark my words, in which Doom’s face is revealed and someone gasps and says “Tony?”
These multiversal shenanigans work in comics. Not in film. But I am genuinely happy that I lived long enough to see an *Avengers* movie that just rocked.
after all Phase 4 and 5 build up…
And people are mad that instead of concentrating on the writing (a lot of complaints about phases 4-6), they are throwing in stunt castings for hype and nostalgia.
I know I'm ranting & I'm sure it'll be a box office smash runaway blockbuster but sadly the level of excitement I had regarding Marvel product with the likes of IW & Endgame has gone within me regarding anything Marvel now. It has became a purely cash grab filler.
But part of the issue some feel is that by bringing back Chris Evans and RDJ it kinda undermines what was meant to be their sendoff and there is the fear if their return is not handled well that it may stain their legacy as the characters, same concern people had with Hugh Jackman coming back as Wolverine, alot of people were concerned that bringing him back could leave a stain and thankfully they were able to keep the momentum going, but there is not that reassurance yet with RDJ and Chris
Also the other reason is some feel bringing back the old guard kinda undermines any attempt to build off these new characters and gives the vibe that you don't believe you can make the new characters good or interesting to follow if you are going to need Chris and Robert back to recarry the torch that they were meant to leave for the next generation to carry, like some people are worried that bringing back Steve takes away some of the spotlight out of Sam as Captain America, sure his last few outings weren't exactly beloved, but instead of bringing back Steve, you could try to use Avengers to pick up Sam's story and show he's worthy of being the new defacto Captain America moving foward.
It doesn’t help that Marvel already went all in on bringing back old actors in No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine, so as a result some people feel like this is already less special than it might have been a while ago.
