'Avengers: Endgame' Ruined the MCU, and Here Are 8 Reasons Why
It's time to admit that, epic as it is, Avengers: Endgame was the kiss of death for the MCU, killing its momentum and setting up for future failure.

It wouldn't be an overstatement to say Avengers: Endgamewas a generation-defining event and possibly the biggest cinematic event of the 21st century (so far, anyway). The culmination of a decade of continuous, interconnected storytelling, Endgame was an epic and momentous movie that broke box office records, cementing the MCU's place as the defining franchise of the new millennium and a crowning achievement of blockbuster entertainment. Such high praise isn't unearned. The film is genuinely good, a thrilling conclusion that successfully ties every loose end, honoring the fallen and sending the survivors on their way to new things. Indeed, Endgame was such a perfect finale that everything that came afterward was always bound to fail.
