"Part of this is just the consequence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe being one of the most prominent pieces of modern pop culture in a brainrotted, engagement-driven news climate. Millions of people share without verifying, post without sourcing, and get so excited about 's nostalgia baiting that they discuss theories as if they're fact until the average passerby has no reason to believe they're fake."
"So what does that look like? Some of the simplest examples involve people making what appear to be AI images purporting to be from the Avengers: Doomsday trailers playing before , including ones that don't seem to have been released yet like one focusing on Chris Hemsworth's Thor. Some of these mock-ups are clearly being made with humorous intent, rather than the hope of feeding off of Marvel fans' desperate need for any information about this movie."
Avengers: Doomsday has generated outsized speculation, uncertainty, and misinformation amplified by the Marvel Cinematic Universe's cultural prominence and engagement-driven news climate. Enigmatic teases and trailers reportedly playing before Avatar: Fire and Ash have heightened attention, but many circulating images and clips are unverifiable or fabricated. Some fake content is humorous, such as mock footage introducing non-MCU characters, while other deepfakes aim to exploit fans' hunger for details. The combination of nostalgia, large audiences, and rapid sharing makes the film particularly susceptible to slop and falsehoods.
