Endgame gave me a whole lot of feels, none of which were "I want to keep watching more movies with these characters" kind of feels. It was more like "Okay, that was apocalyptic and now I need to deal with it." I don't want anything new right now. I'm going to need YEARS to process that and deal with it.
....EG took a lot of things I'd really loved and made them retroactively sad! (Basically ... all of them, actually. Except maybe BP - at least they're all ALIVE.) I don't want to invest the same way in anything new in the MCU, knowing it's likely to end in a big depressing crossover ~event~.
Yeah, that's absolutely it, the combination of those two things -- EG felt absolutely final and they went out of their way to make it like that, emotionally, for dramatic power or whatever. But I also felt like five out of the six OG just got fucked over by their EG storylines, and even Tony's ending was really sad. Is there going to be more room for fun and even victories, or is every ending going to be tragic?
(I also think they really underestimate how ticked off people are that the Netflix shows got cut off so brutally. Asking people to sign up for yet another streaming service is a big deal in itself right now, and I am just not that interested in supporting Feige's grand plan of weaving the shows into movies and vice versa for the $$$ when shows I loved got axed.)
