There seems to be a general feeling among many that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had trouble finding its footing since the end of the Infinity Saga, which wrapped up with Spider-Man: Far From Home. While some of the movies and series in Phase 4 and beyond have been quite good on their own, others have struggled, and it’s been mostly the sequels to popular franchises of the previous phases that seem to have had the most difficulty. We’re on the verge of the release of another big sequel, and it’s one that I’m certainly hoping will be as strong as the movies that came before: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Avengers: Endgame was designed to end many of the stories that the first three phases of the MCU had told. This was the reason that so many fans were excited about it. How would the story end? Who will live? Who will die? How this chapter of the franchise would come to a close was the question that drove record-breaking numbers of people to the box office. I was certainly one of those people, but with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 we will see another big ending in the MCU, and it’s one that I might be actually more excited about than I was for Endgame.
