THANOS DESERVES ROYALTIES – MAJOR SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame Encore & the MCU’s Future

Overview

The video is a spoiler-heavy commentary on Avengers: Endgame “Encore” (and extended MCU material), plus what it suggests about where the franchise is going next. Its main argument is that the new scenes strengthen—and, in the host’s view, worsen—the criticism that Endgame already drew, especially regarding:

• Time travel consequences
• Character motivations

Key Points and Claims

Extended Endgame scene explanation (Steve/Peggy + Loki/TVA)

One highlighted added/extended moment involves Steve Rogers and Peggy meeting a Loki figure who warns them the timeline will be forced into a branch or incursion. Loki claims he can remove them and place them somewhere “safe,” which is described as involving the Fantastic Four world.

TVA universes/incursions escalating (magnitude of multiverse collapse)

Another emphasized scene is framed as a TVA sequence (with Kihu Kuang and Owen Wilson) where incursions intensify rapidly. The host cites numbers rising from 10 → 100 → 5,000, arguing this makes the post-Endgame time-travel mechanics and consequences feel even more convoluted—while also implying the movie had to “explain a lot afterward.”

“Steve Rogers is at fault” framing

The commentary repeatedly stresses that Steve’s choice at the end of Endgame will be treated as a major causal factor (or at least a major reason he gets blamed) for multiverse collapse—making the character criticism “so much worse” in the new context.

Dr. Doom arrival as a corrective/pivot

The host highlights a scene where Mark Ruffalo (as Bruce Banner/Hulk) is shown on a phone in a bunker and then hears Dr. Doom:

• Banner says he thinks he figured something out.
• Doom replies that he’s there “to collect” him.

A portal/green-tech moment is used to explain Doom’s presence and why he’s not handled the same way as before (as the host interprets it). The video claims Do(d)omsday (the next MCU phase/film) is responding to Endgame criticism by changing or reframing story elements that were previously treated as poetic rather than literal plot engineering.

Connecting the MCU plan to comic-story themes (Secret Wars / Hickman-style)

The speaker argues Doom’s direction resembles major comic arcs, especially Secret Wars (including the Hickman version), and also gestures to Doom-related themes from Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. They predict an end-state where the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Avengers occupy the same world—a remake/reset of reality.

The host points to Thanos’s “break it down to atoms and rebuild” speech as thematic proof, claiming the MCU is moving toward a reset “with no memories” of prior events. The video further asserts this would effectively mean Thanos “was right” (and possibly “Thanos did nothing wrong” sentiment).

Speculation about MCU future cast/characters

The host speculates (presented as rumors, not confirmed facts):

• Sam Wilson as Captain America may return (attributed to “Kevin Feige likes her,” though the exact reference is unclear in the subtitles).
• Chris Evans is framed as basically finished after Secret Wars (“done, gone”).
• Iron Man is rumored to return as “the same old Iron Man” (RDJ), despite age concerns.

Box office/ticketing and “Encore” theatrical run

The commentary detours into business metrics:

• How long “Encore” stayed in theaters, with the suggestion it may end up on Disney Plus
• Gross comparisons to Avatar, including inflation and re-release effects, with Endgame and Avatar close in worldwide totals depending on the method
• Complaints about modern ticket prices, plus references to ticket-sales comparisons (e.g., Captain Marvel vs another film), attributing some performance to IMAX

Overall Opinion / Argument

The video’s conclusion is that the new/extended Endgame material—and the direction toward Doomsday/Secret Wars-type storytelling—aims to tighten or correct earlier narrative weaknesses. At the same time, the host argues the MCU’s causal logic becomes more extreme, leading to a bleak but internally consistent outcome:

a reality reset where prior actions are erased, echoing Thanos’s philosophy.
