THE FUSE

The first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday got fans excited for the next chapter in the MCU but was also quickly picked apart for feeling like an expensive game of “let’s remember some people.” One of the major critiques was that it felt like Marvel was pushing another Infinity War-style showdown without having done any of the work to build up the stakes. Some fans argued that Thanos was allowed space and time to grow into a major villain while the pivot to Robert Downey, Jr.’s Doctor Doom feels rushed. The head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, thinks those fans are misremembering the introduction of Thanos.
