Did Avengers: Endgame ruin the MCU for good?
Marvel Studios seems ready to make a comeback with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars around the corner. As Doomsday is still in development with the Russo Brothers directing, one can only wonder what the filmmakers have in store for fans in 2026 with their next superhero crossover film. However, until Doomsday arrives, it is questionable whether the film can match the success that Avengers: Endgame achieved in 2019. Having garnered extraordinary reviews and nearly a record-breaking $2.8 billion worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo, Avengers: Endgame seemed to be the best movie that the MCU would ever produce. Since the film premiered, Marvel has struggled to recapture the magic that it presented in cinemas with their ongoing Multiverse Saga. While the MCU was never going to be the same after Endgame, it appears that this blockbuster phenomenon was the peak of a franchise now struggling to keep its footing. Recommended Videos Avengers: Endgame set an impossibly high bar for the MCU Following the many hit-or-miss movies and shows that came out after Endgame, it seems like Doomsday may not achieve the same level of hype from fans as the former movie. Critics have repeatedly described MCU films like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Deadpool & Wolverine, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Thunderbolts* as the best Marvel movie since Endgame, showing how it is now widely considered the gold standard for all MCU projects. However, whenever someone compares a new MCU film to Endgame, it seems to nullify all the positives about the many great post-Endgame movies. Avengers: Endgame shouldn't even be considered the top benchmark for the MCU, as the film isn't without its flaws. There are multiple plot holes, some fan service is forced, Hulk's character arc is rushed, and the jokes made about Thor's weight go too far. In many ways, Infinity War was arguably a superior film. Nevertheless, audiences had never seen a superhero blockbuster like Endgame before it came out, and it will be hard for the sequels to live up to everyone's expectations set by the Avengers' exciting fourth film. Endgame left a massive MCU without a clear roadmap The story for Endgame was the product of over ten years of buildup that began with 2008's Iron Man, with Thanos lurking in the shadows since 2012's The Avengers. After the extraordinary success of Endgame and the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, the MCU seemed to be going off in several different directions, with the studio unsure of what to do next. As Marvel was trying to create more and more content for audiences to enjoy in theaters and on streaming, it was still trying to figure out the plot for its next crossover event, not knowing how all these pieces would come together in the end. That isn't to say that Marvel Studios had the entire Infinity Saga planned out from the beginning. The Infinity Saga succeeded as Marvel focused on releasing one to three films each year, with critical and commercial failures becoming rare as they prioritized quality or quantity. However, as Marvel tried to keep the hype train rolling after Endgame with a steady supply of films and TV shows, the MCU seemed to lose its way as the studio focused on keeping people on board instead of setting up a clear destination, leading to several rushed and clunky stories. Marvel has trouble moving on from its original cast Due to the events of Avengers: Endgame, the film made it difficult for the MCU to move forward in a new direction. Specifically, the movie featured the heartbreaking deaths of Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff, as well as the disappearance of Steve Rogers. The legacies of these beloved heroes and the actors who played them have been hard to live up to in the post-Endgame era. Even with younger proteges like Peter Parker, Sam Wilson, and Yelena Belova standing tall on their own, the MCU is still struggling to fill the void left behind by some of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Right now, it seems Marvel is still trying to capitalize on Robert Downey Jr.'s popularity as Iron Man by having him play Doctor Doom, replacing Kang the Conqueror as the main villain of the Multiverse Saga. This move invokes memories of Disney bringing Emperor Palpatine back as the villain of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker after the divisive reaction to The Last Jedi. While there will be more buildup for Doom's introduction with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel risks pulling a hasty course correction with legacy casting in order to bring the franchise back to its Endgame glory days. Overall, Avengers: Endgame didn't exactly ruin the MCU. While there have been some poor decisions with the franchise following the film's release, there have been several outstanding movies and shows that prove that Marvel still has it. While Avengers: Doomsday may not stick the landing and achieve the love and success garnered by Endgame, final judgment about the film can't be passed until it hits theaters.

Lilo & Stitch Just Did the Impossible. It Took Down Mission Impossible At Box Office
Last Updated: Lilo & Stitch grossed a whopping $145.5 million domestically over the four-day weekend, whereas Mission: Impossible 8 earned only $77 million. The Memorial Day holiday weekend proved to be a lucrative one for the box office, with two of the highly anticipated Hollywood projects battling it out for the top spot. On one hand, the eighth and final instalment of Tom Cruise 's Mission: Impossible franchise, titled The Final Reckoning, was released in theatres on May 23. It clashed with Disney's live-action remake of its 2002 movie Lilo & Stitch. While both films broke records, it was Disney's Lilo & Stitch that ultimately stole the show, both in ticket sales and winning audiences' hearts. The family-friendly film, directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, is a live-action animated remake of the 2002 film by the same name. It grossed a whopping $145.5 million domestically over the four-day weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. Lilo & Stitch's global earnings reached $341 million, easily making it one of the highest-grossing films in the first half of 2025. The live-action animated film follows the story of a Hawaiian girl named Lilo Pelekai, played by Maia Kealoha, and her troublemaking blue koala-like alien pet named Stitch, voiced by Chris Sanders. Tom Cruise returns as IMF agent Ethan Hunt one last time in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Although the spy action film marked a high point for the long-running franchise, the eighth MI film earned only $77 million in the four-day weekend, which is a bit more than half of the earnings of Lilo & Stitch. The film globally minted $204, which is $137 short of the Disney film's earnings. However, The Final Reckoning still set a new opening weekend record for the spy action movie franchise, which has been running since 1996. Paramount, the production company of Mission Impossible films, rolled out an ambitious global promotional campaign for the final film of the series. It included star-studded premieres in Tokyo, Seoul, Cannes, London and New York City, with Cruise himself present to meet and greet the attendees. Moreover, the 62-year-old actor also personally greeted the moviegoers in Texas to create hype regarding the film. MI 8 is set to release in China next, offering the potential for an increase in earnings. But it turned out that Disney's strategy paid off more in making the Lilo & Stitch a success. The Stitch brand has grown into a retail powerhouse, with the company even reporting a staggering $2.6 billion in merchandise sales in the last financial year, which is an unprecedented increase from $200 million just five years back. Moreover, the film's runtime of 1 hour and 48 minutes, compared to The Final Reckoning's 2 hours and 50 minutes, has also proved to be advantageous for it, allowing for more shows per day.
