Beloved Characters’ Return Signals The Beginning of the End For The MCU

Written by Chris Snellgrove | Published 10 seconds ago

Recently, Marvel confirmed some rather shocking news: Elden Henson will be returning Daredevil: Born again for its second season after his character was killed off (spoilers, honey: you’ve been warned!) by the evil Bullseye. While there are multiple ways the cast could return after his apparent death, many fans are speculating that we’ll find out that Henson’s character Foggy Nelson faked his death, just like in the comics. Unfortunately, this would signal the beginning of the end for the MCU by confirming that the deaths of major characters no longer matter in this universe.

Cartoons, where death goes to die

In case you weren’t aware, comic books are famous for reversing character deaths, with everyone from DC’s Jason Todd to Marvel’s Bucky Barnes eventually being brought back to life. And in the original reckless Comics, there is a story where Foggy Nelson appears to have been murdered but is later shown to be alive and well and working with witness protection. some Born again Fans initially thought that Elden Henson’s character Foggy Nelson would follow the same arc, but previously, there was no reason to believe the character would return.

Now, Marvel TV Chief Character Officer Brad Winderbaum has confirmed in a recent interview that Henson’s character will be returning for. Daredevil: Born again Season two. This news was doubly surprising because when asked about Foggy Nelson’s return, Henson told attendees at LA Comic-Con last month that “I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s not happening.” It’s possible that the actor was trying to keep things a secret, although some speculated that he meant that Foggy wasn’t actually alive and might be returning for a flashback sequence.

Taking a page from the comics

However, I highly doubt it Daredevil: Born again He will take a page from the comics and reveal that Foggy is secretly alive and has been hiding in witness protection. This would be a win/win for Marvel because they will keep comic book fans happy by adapting the source material. At the same time, the return of Elden Henson would please fans who want the show to be more like it reckless On Netflix, Marvel should be interested in it because they’re also bringing back Deborah Ann Woll for it Born againSeason two.

These are the reasons why bringing back Foggy Nelson is a good short-term plan for Marvel. It’s a terrible long-term plan, because it makes that character’s previous “death” completely meaningless. Born again Originally turning Foggy’s death into the only thing that could prompt Daredevil to try to kill someone; How stupid would it be to revisit this pivotal scene in the future if we find out that Fuji never died?

The final nail in Marvel’s coffin

On a larger level, creative decisions like these could turn fans against Marvel at the worst possible time. This cinematic universe has been rocking the boat in recent years, sometimes even bombing at the box office, and Kevin Feige is betting that the upcoming reboot will make fans care about tight-lipped, over-the-top films again. But if popular shows like Daredevil: Born again Normalizing that no one truly stays dead in this universe, audiences might completely abandon the MCU entirely due to its complete and utter lack of lasting stakes.

Characters dying and coming back inexplicably is a staple of comics, but the MCU has generally taken death seriously, which is why characters like Iron Man and Black Widow haven’t been brought back to life. Reviving Foggy Nelson from seemingly certain death may please fans in the short term, especially those who enjoyed the friendly Foggy/Matt relationship in the original film. reckless. However, in the long run, the character’s resurrection will mean the death of the lasting sequels in these shows and movies.

Once the audience finds out, this could be the final nail in the MCU’s coffin.
