“I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.”
- Peter Cullen (1941 - 2026)
Games can be announced, only to be cancelled. Films can wrap production, only to end up a tax write-off and now a show can get renewed for another season, only for it to...not?
For the past six years, the easiest MCU engagement bait on this app was screaming, "The MCU ended with Endgame!" or "It’s dead without RDJ and Evans." People proudly skipped every movie and show just to farm likes off of fake nostalgia.
Now Avengers: Doomsday is on the horizon. Because those same people spent the entire Multiverse Saga willfully ignoring the overarching narrative, they have absolutely no clue what the actual state of the universe is. So, what’s the new grift? "There’s no build-up!"
It’s lazy. If you actually paid attention instead of chasing clout, you’d see the mechanics of the Multiverse and incursions have been heavily established. Honestly, the structural world-building they've done for this saga is arguably better than the Infinity Stones.
If the setting was a bright colorful forest, you’d complain. If it was a desert, you’d complain. If it was a city, you’d complain. If it was a mountain, you’d complain. If it was outer space, you’d complain. You will complain about every single thing.
