Can Avengers: Doomsday Survive Our Expectations?

from Marvel Maniac: An MCU Aftershow

Avengers: Doomsday is only three months away—and somehow, every Marvel fan is already waiting for a different version of it. Eric examines the impossible expectations surrounding the MCU’s first Avengers movie since Endgame, why Doomsday doesn’t hold all the same cards as Infinity War, and how theories, rumored cameos, and years of anticipation can become promises Marvel never actually made. Drawing from his experience with The Last Jedi and its divisive reception, he also confronts a personal fear: what happens if you love the movie, but the discourse makes enjoying it feel like choosing a side? We don’t owe Marvel automatic praise—but perhaps we owe ourselves the chance to experience the movie before the discourse experiences it for us. ⭐ Enjoying Marvel Maniac?
