Has anyone noticed that the media keeps referring to Endgame as the "final" MCU movie?
What exactly are they trying to pull here? Sure it's the end of the Thanos arc but that's not what they're saying. They're actually calling it the LAST movie. When even in the immediate future we know we have Spider-Man 2 and GotG3. Like it would have made sense if Marvel was careful not to announce ANY films after Endgame, so it really seemed like it was the last, only to suddenly reveal more, but they didn't do that. We KNOW that Marvel intends to keep this going until it stops making them money (at which point they probably will do a movie that they advertise as the very last one) so I don't understand the journalists' "endgame", so to speak. Especially because Captain Marvel has proven that the money is still flowing, despite critical reviews whining. Are they so tired of Marvel movies that they hope that if they repeat "This is the end of the MCU" enough people will actually believe it? Because it's going to look really embarrassing for them when that gambit fails and yet another phase of the MCU begins.
It's a jumping off point for everyone who doesn't give enough of a shit anymore

Yep, right here.

That still doesn't explain why they're falsely claiming it's the final movie. I actually suspect it's because they want to turn around and start talking up DC which has been getting praised very highly lately and keeps changing the race of characters at a much faster rate than Marvel.
Jeremiah Bell
are they though? or are you just reading too much into it?

To be honest I don't suspect anything like that at all but I was hoping it would be incendiary enough to get the thread going. Apparently not.

Post one (1) single media outlet calling in the final movie.
>Captain Marvel is the final stop on the Marvel Cinematic Universe space train that's been hurtling inexorably towards Avengers: Endgame for an entire decade. What Marvel has accomplished with the MCU is basically a miracle, tying disparate franchises with varying tones and dozens of characters together into one masterful tapestry that somehow, against all odds, really works. This has never been done before--or even attempted--which means there's no set template for how to end it. Marvel had to sit down and decide, at some point, whether they'd make Captain Marvel so integral to the plot of Endgame that this penultimate MCU movie would be essential viewing.
James Parker
Doesn't it say final stop before Endgame? Not final movie.
Ryan Bell
>gamespot But fair enough, that’s one. You found one retarded reviewer on the internet.
