Marvel Admits Multiverse Saga Lacks Real Danger

Marvel's shared universe has faced "valid criticisms" regarding the stakes in its Multiverse Saga. Executives admit that with the multiverse in play, the possibility of character resurrections diminishes the sense of danger. This perceived lack of consequence might be a factor in why some recent MCU films have struggled financially, despite high anticipation.

Comparatively, the animated series 'Marvel Zombies' is highlighted for successfully implementing real stakes, where any character could perish. This contrasts with live-action projects where audiences often expect titular heroes to survive, potentially hindering emotional investment and suspense.

Future Avengers installments, drawing inspiration from past films like 'Avengers: Endgame' which featured significant character deaths, are expected to reintroduce genuine peril. This shift aims to restore the tension and emotional impact that audiences have come to expect from major Marvel events.
