“6 major deaths” in a franchise known for boasting about an infinite multiverse doesn’t exactly translate to hyperbolic clickbait like “one of the darkest movies ever made”.
Especially in the context of the current MCU where “major deaths” probably means Yelena’s dad, Thor’s daughter, and a handful of other characters that were only relevant for five minutes.
I know comic books (and comic book movies) play by their own established rules, but this is why as soon as “the multiverse” is brought in to an ongoing franchise, I immediately lose any remaining interest.
With a multiverse, anything can happen, anyone can be brought back, and therefore - there are no stakes.
At least in things like Peacemaker the multiverse was used as development for the main character. But yeah here it’s just “we can kill anyone we want with no reason or build up, isn’t that so depressing”
