The Deadpool & Wolverine vibe has faded, can Avengers: Doomsday change ANYTHING?

[CiderHype]

You won't catch me holding my breath for a fresh energy in the MCU, I'm with the crowd that sees Deadpool & Wolverine as a unique scenario that the rest of the MCU can't match. She-Hulk, the disaster of Echo and now the absolute faceplant called Ironheart, doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

What do you think? Will Robert Doomey Jr. running around in the MCU fix everything? Maybe a few Burger King burgers for good measure?

Haha, yeah, Deadpool and Wolverine are untouchable. She-Hulk, Echo, Ironheart… yikes. RDJ running around might help, though.

I’ve been burnt out on superhero stuff in general since Endgame, really. Loved Guardians 3, but even the enjoyable titles since then are kind of forgettable in the long run.

Honestly I’m not sure. After Endgame many people did check out but some people like myself, decided to test the waters a bit and see what would happen next. Deadpool and Wolverine was a fun movie but it still feels like it’s missing something, what that something is I’m not sure. Doomsday seems to overcrowded for my taste, looks like something a young fanfic writer would conjure up. I really am interested though in seeing how the Russo Brothers allow each character to shine and have a role to play as that’s what I believe Infinity War and Endgame (to a certain degree) did so well. The thing I feel like most people don’t really talk about Infinity War enough about is that it actually felt like its own film. I actually could argue that you could watch it without having seen a majority of the prior MCU films, something modern MCU doesn’t apply to their latest projects.

Exactly, that’s a big part of it. Up through Infinity War and Endgame, the MCU felt really cohesive, every movie and character had a clear place in the bigger story. Now it kind of feels like they’re scrambling a bit, trying to find a direction while juggling too many new characters and concepts at once. It’ll be interesting to see if the Russos can bring some of that cohesion back.

I’m hoping they do but the next question is, will that cohesion be enough to bring back the fans they lost and attacked AND will that cohesion move over to the “rebooted” universe after Secret Wars.
