Marvel boss Kevin Feige has spoken about why the original Avengers team survived the events of Avengers: Infinity War.
While Thanos’ destructive streak at the end of Infinity War left many casualties and at first glance seemed to indiscriminately kill off various beloved heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was actually far more calculated.
Fans quickly realised that none of the original Avengers characters had perished, leaving them behind to tackle Thanos once more and hopefully avenge their fallen comrades. Why was this done? Well, Kevin Feige explained Marvel’s thinking to io9:
“I think for a film series that is going on 10 years and is gearing towards a conclusion with Avengers 4, which you don’t usually have in these kind of movies, you can sort of do the math. And realize it’s the original Avengers that are left.”
What do you think of Feige’s comments here? In terms of storytelling and considering Avengers 4 is the end of this chapter in the MCU, does it makes more sense that the initial team made it through to the end?
