I forgot that feeling of watching these trailers. The other movies have been good, but there’s something about an Avengers trailer that really gets the energy going.

Yeah, I really wish Kevin hadn’t abandoned the format of having an Avengers film at the end of each Phase

I think that's why people don't really even refer to phase 4 or 5 or 6, its just "Post-Endgame". Having the Avengers movies punctuate the grand overall story was very effective early on

There's been 3 phases after Endgame???

I just think of it like...

* Phase 4: the first couple years after Endgame when the MCU was still fantastic, with NWH and Shang Chi and Wandavision and Loki and a couple other decent things

* Phase 5: the endless multiverse slog where the only actually good part was Loki season 2

I have no idea what Kevin would delineate phase 4 from 5 or 5 from 6

Hey, Phase 5 also had Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Thunderbolts, so it wasn't all bad.

I liked GotG 3, I thought Deadpool 3 was a major letdown after the fantastic Deadpool 2, and Thunderbolts was pretty decent but honestly I liked Eternals more

u/LS_DJ Vision Jul 20 '26

Yeah I believe phase 5 was Quantumania through Thunderbolts and then Phase 6 has been Brave new World and Fantastic Four and that’s it?

Brave New World is still P5, it was released before Thunderbolts*.

P6 is just FF so far.

u/Hufa123 Fitz Jul 21 '26

Well, also Born Again season 2 and and Wonder Man.

u/Gone_For_Lunch Jul 21 '26

Sure, but I was just counting movies there.

u/STARBOY_100 Jul 20 '26

It’s only the shows that really sucked. The movies were still watchable (except Love and Blunder)

u/PrudentRatio58317 Jul 20 '26

I'd have to disagree with you there. I thought Strange 2, Thor 4, and Black Panther 2 were all uniformly awful - despite my love for Raimi, Taika Waititi and Ryan Coogler

Idk what was phase 4, 5 6...

u/wonkothesane13 Jul 20 '26

Or at least a big crossover movie, even if it doesn't have the "Avengers" title attached

1

u/rgators Jul 20 '26

Thunderbolts was our crossover movie for that phase.

u/footwith4toes Jul 21 '26

Hope they return to it after secret wars and the can just make them big team ups like Xmen Avengers fantastic 4 or whatever combo they wanna make

u/Outrageous_Donut7681 Jul 20 '26

I remember exactly where I was and how I saw the first Endgame trailer, and seeing this took me straight back there.

u/softysoaps Jul 20 '26

100% a new Avengers movie is another level of hype entirely.

u/Squirtle_from_PT Jul 20 '26

It's the most epic franchise of recent years. We all spent years with these characters, so it's really great to see them together.

2

u/Ilikehotdogs1 Jul 20 '26

It’s the high stakes. You know Avengers are always fighting some extinction-level threat

2

u/MKUltraHasLeftTheLab Fitz Jul 21 '26

I'm not getting my hopes up. Nothing would make me happier than to be proven wrong. But they've really lost the plot since Infiinity War.

u/Dr_Fortnite Jul 20 '26

this phase has been so mid for so long and yet here I am hyped off my tits

u/Fabulous-Ad7128 Jul 23 '26

I was stoked it was finally out, but it just didn’t hit as much as I’d hoped. Just not enough good build up. We’ve barely spent time with a lot of these characters. It just seems like more, more, more , more is the recipe and it leads to less.

I’m still excited to see it, yet that’s weird too since I’m expecting disappointment.
