I don't think people are surprised to see them return as support via a multiverse cameo or something. Evans has already done this in Deadpool 3 and it was fine cus it didn't take over. And we're in an era of cheap cameos from older stars anyways

That's not whats happening here though. They're starring in the film and RDJ is the title character. It definitely comes off to people when we said "goodbye" in the last Avengers film and they're still starring in the literal next one. Baton never got passed and there was no new status quo developed.

Like they did what they had to do to secure success esp after the Majors situation but its rough to see when remembering old MCU build ups and character development. Numbers wise like yeah they're in a good position we'll all be there and it'll prob be enjoyable too

Am I the only one who thought RDJ and Evans were gonna come back after Endgame anyway?

Like obviously not in the way it was playing out but as soon as they announced Secret Wars I knew they would be back for at least that

Was Infinity War Avengers 2 for a lot of the general public?

That and I feel like it was Avengers 1 for a lot of people who got in due to the hype

They bet on the wrong characters and projects.
Should have dropped the Fantastic Four movie earlier, dropped another Doctor Strange movie, recasted Black Panther and have another Shang Chi project ready. A couple other changes and they'd have a strong set of leads ready for these movies.

The problem post Endgame is that the characters at their core just aren't as iconic as the OG cast and they don't even appear that often, leading to no connection being generated between them and the audience. There is a general quality decline of all the projects too.

Just take Thor pre-Endgame for example.
Iconic character, appeared every other year keeping audiences engaged in his story and the only dud overall was Thor 2, rest of the movies were entertaining at the very least.

Man I don't even know who the Young Avengers in the MCU are and I'm sure I don't really even are about them. Who is it so far? America Chavez, Riri Williams, and Kamala Khan? I think Ant-Man's daughter too?

Man if y'all don't make that s*** into a TV show.

I thought it was obvious that all the OG Avengers were going to be on Secret Wars one way or the other
