10 Problems The MCU Desperately Needs To Fix

1. The Thanos Dilemma

Thanos was first introduced to the MCU back in 2012's The Avengers, and though his dawdling, lingering presence became a bit of a joke, it certainly paid off spectacularly with his long-awaited coming-out party in Avengers: Infinity War.

Though we don't yet know what will become of the Mad Titan in Avengers 4, it's safe to say he's easily the MCU's most compelling antagonist to date, more than living up to the immense hype laid before him.

It's unknown whether the MCU will simply repeat this formula for the future - introducing an overarching antagonist in Phase Four who battles the Avengers at the end of Phase Six - but whoever the next big bad is, they've got some mighty shoes to fill.

Kevin Feige has hinted that Phase Four and beyond will veer off in an unexpected direction, so it's possible there won't actually be another ultimate, statuesque villain for a while. Even if that's the case, Thanos has become the measuring stick, and it's hard to imagine another antagonist living up to him, to be honest.
