The craze for Marvel movies has only increased over the years and it will only increase evermore. MCU, as the name suggests is a universe. And we all know what a universe means. Marvel Cinematic Universe has been an emotion to audiences of all age groups. If someone asks, what is so unique about MCU, then there can never be one answer. Precisely, MCU is unique from all other super-hero movie franchises in every aspect. The characters created by the great Stan Lee are something no universe can match up to. Also, the storyline and the smooth and mind-blasting twists and interconnections of every node of the story is something that attracts the audience
MCU is like a part of our lives that grew along with us and thus it is so much connected to us. We grew up watching MCU grow with us. Endgame marked the end of a chapter but not the end of the MCU. It is gearing up with a new chapter and fans are equally excited to taste the new dishes from MCU A-LA-CARTE!
