What are your expectations for Doomsday? Better or worse than Infinity War?
After watching the teasers, I still don't have high expectations. There are too many characters I don't care about, and the story is going to have to juggle all of them while focusing on Doom, a completely new character (or maybe an alternate version of Tony).
In hindsight, Infinity War feels like a miracle. It managed to juggle all the heroes while focusing on Thanos, a new character. The reason it could even do that is because almost every other character had already gotten their time to shine.
Story-wise, Doomsday can't be as good as Infinity War. There hasn't been enough build-up for it to have the same emotional payoff. That said, I still expect it to gross around 2 billion. I am, after all, a sucker for nostalgia, and most everyone else is too, considering the box office performance of No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine.
Do you think people are excited enough about Doomsday that it will outperform Infinity War? Do you think the Russo brothers can pull off such an epic story again?
Infinity War felt character-bloated with 24 or 25 heroes. Doomsday will add Namor, Shang-Chi, some X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the Thunderbolts. Yes, a few characters have died, and a few people are unconfirmed like Hulk, the Guardians, the Eternals... (am I missing any?). It's still too many to manage.
I'm crossing my fingers, though. I want Doomsday to blow me out of the park.

Expectations only exist to make you disappointed rather than appreciating something for what it is
Sadly that will badly damage the movie and the subsequent sequels.
But that’s just me.
It's 3 hours long, first 30-45 mins is about the Beyonders and Doom's reasoning for what he is going to do. This is connected to MoM's ending. Doctor Strange joins Dooms side. Maybe this section also shows the Illuminati and the Cabal from Time Runs Out accelerating the incursions.
Then for the next 1 or 1.5 hours it will be the teams (Avengers, F4, wakandans) meeting, the conflict between them and then their teaming up
The last 1 hour is the heroes realising the conflict between them was just a setup for Doom to buy himself enough time. When they go to stop Doom they find him finishing off his task and creating the Battleworld.
Basically a 3-act structure. The film should end in a way that it feels like there's no comeback from this event like how Infinity War ended.
I still hold high expectations and hope this movie will be massive success like IW and EG
However, Thor’s storyline has potential to be his best appearance ever, Thor and Loki reuniting could be the greatest emotional catharsis in the whole MCU, and if the xmen aren’t just there to be fodder, I could see the Russos doing great things with them.
Also kind of hoping for a black panther situation with Shang Chi (handled a thousand times better in the team up movie than in his own solo movie)
Basically…it can’t be infinity war, but I do think it has potential to be really, really great, particularly if you’re a fan of the characters I mentioned.
