After 11 Years, Marvel Admits Its Most Controversial MCU Death Was A Big Mistake

The most unnecessary death in the MCU is finally acknowledged by Marvel. Iron Man’s death in Avengers: Endgame is the emotional climax of the whole Infinity Saga, though Black Widow, Loki, Gamora, and Heimdall's own sacrifices also underscore the true cost of reversing Thanos' Snap. Before Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War, Yondu Udonta’s death in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Phil Coulson's murder at the hands of Loki himself in The Avengers, and Ho Yinsen's death inside the cave in Iron Man became key landmarks in the MCU's overarching story.
