Part 3/10:
A key point is the importance of the audience's emotional investment. The Marvel movies of the past offered an experience—seeing Captain America wield Thor’s hammer, or Spider-Man face off with Doctor Doom—that went beyond simple storytelling. They provided moments that fans cherished, creating a sense of shared euphoria, especially during monumental crossovers like Infinity War and Endgame. These events delivered an almost mythic weight, sparking cheers and collective wonder that no subsequent release has matched.
The witness expresses a longing for those nostalgic moments, emphasizing that audiences crave the collective excitement of seeing iconic heroes together. However, they argue that the current climate lacks this weight, with the hype gone and perhaps irretrievably lost.
