Pretty sure that's the point of the Infinity War/Thanos stuff. To retire the original Avengers (not just for a while, but permanently).

Yea I guess I'll believe that when I see it. This franchise seems content to be endless and they've never exactly made ballsy decisions with killing off characters or anything.

Tbh why make Makie the next Cap when he just stay Falcon. Falcon rules. It fits. Just retire Cap with Evans.

I agree with you. After Civil War, ive lost my hope of Marvel having the balls to kill off their main characters, even if it would make the movies in some cases better.

Fair enough. All signs point towards all of the OG's dying or retiring in between the next two Avengers flicks; and every new character introduced in Phases 2/3 (Panther, Spidey, Strange, Cap. Marvel, etc.) will take over the mantle.

 

I prefer to believe that Marvel has never killed off characters, outside of rather inconsequential killings like Quicksilver and Coulson, because they wanted to save the massacre for the Infinity War movies

Just give us the Falcon/Hawkeye movie we've all been clamoring for 

Yeah, maybe having "Mr. Richard Spencer cut" Hawkeye teaming up with Falcon may not be the best idea.

The more I think about Black Panther, the more I love it for its messages. I said it was my third favorite film in the MCU, but even with some of my qualms, it grows on you the more you think about it.

If they hire someone for like 5 or 6 movies, I guess that makes it hard to kill a character too right? I don’t think Marvel heads have the whole storyline plotted out like JK did with Harry Potter, which results in existing contracts making it harder to kill someone even if the story demands it! 

 

Kill your darlings, Marvel. Kill your darlingsss.

I meant Quicksilver   It really does say something that I genuinely believed that was who got killed, though

I think killing off characters for the sake of dramatic effect in one film sort of takes away from the greater narrative though they are making and considering how huge MCU has become it has worked.

 

If CA and Loki and such characters die in the IW, it will be of a much greater impact.

TBH, I'd be pissed if they killed a major character and it was lame like "you know who" at the end of AOU.

Maybe. Execution is everything.

 

BP handled deaths pretty well.

No seriously no expanding on this point cuz of spoilers.

To say what happened to Superman after Superman 2 is nothing short of humiliating, would probably be an understatement. 

Those were really harder days for sequels retention rate, 20-33% not being that uncommon, 65% being exceptionally good:

Agreed because killing Superman made both BvS and JL masterpieces.
