The Avengers’ final chapter is no time for the traditional big Marvel teaser.
Over the past 11 years, Marvel has trained its audience to sit in their seats a little while longer as the credits roll, baited by the promise of seeing at least one more scene before the movie is really over. For Marvel, it’s a way to get the names of every person that helped with its movie in front of some eyeballs; for fans, it’s a treat, a tease toward the next big thing.
So it’s a surprise that this time, for the studio’s biggest movie ever, Marvel has bucked its own trend. Avengers: Endgame has no post-credits scenes. And I’m not mad about it; the movie doesn’t need them, nor should it have them.
Marvel fans have cherished the thrill of sitting in wait for a post-credits scene, because these scenes often function as a teasing glimpse at Marvel’s next big thing.
