    Never really considered why endgame didn’t matter to me, despite me being relatively invested in early marvel (up to avengers) and honestly the answer might probably just be that nothing MCU has done, beats the spirit bomb of dragon ball

      I didn’t care about Endgame because Infinity War was just so much better. I’m not a huge MCU person anymore, but Infinity War did an amazing job of making Thanos a great villain while Endgame just reveled in the setup that Infinity War had done. Thanos turning Quill’s bullets into bubbles, throwing his own daughter off a cliff, reversing time at the end to rip the stone out of red guy’s head, the “I don’t feel so good Mr. Stark” were all just completely unexpected from a marvel movie. By far the best villain in the MCU films. Endgame though? The movie schedule of the stuff coming out beforehand was essentially spoiling the movie. And Thanos isn’t even that threatening when he comes back because he’s just raging out and acting completely out of character in the final battle.

      I’m in the exact same boat. Avengers Endgame was just missing… something, compared to Dragon Ball. I don’t know if it’s the charm or the fights or the villain or what. It’s not like DB is high art or anything, but it just has an edge over most Marvel stuff.

      Maybe I just find it easier to get hyped over Goku, a character with one full contained story that DB follows, over any MCU character that is just a mish-mash of 60 years of comic characterization.
