Reply To: Marvel Timeline movies in order … but Eternals?!?

I’d say the problem with the Marvel universe is that they made the final boss in each individual movie too big.

Endgame with it’s “Universe ending” threat meant that there was nothing left to challenge the heroes any more.
There’s some room for movies that show the aftermath, but superhero movies don’t tend to do these kind of life changing lessons.

I think that’s why I like the movies about ‘small’/personal threats to the heroes more. Failure is still an option and there’s room to improve even once they ‘win’.

Where do you go after defeating god-like beings ?
Especially if said creature killed 50% of all characters …

@pagan8th I’d say Thor is like Superman. He’s too one dimensional to carry a whole movie.
He can work in an ensemble so you get that ‘fish out of water’ to lighten the mood.
OTOH … that’s the kind of thing that Captain America has as well in this iteration.
