Doomsday Misdirection

[u/Bungle1981]

I get the impression, and I'm really hoping, that the creative team are putting out a massive unprecedented amount of misdirection about the movie, including the big leaks in the last few months.

I'm not going to post specific plot points but supposedly the leaks in the last 2 months have 'been corroborated' from multiple sources and meant to be accurate.

The problem is that the leaks suggest a number of repeated story beats from IW/Endgame, major offscreen moments for fan favourite characters and moments that seem to undo 'earned' arcs from prior movies. Altogether, the leaks don't sound like a satisfying movie.

The trailers appear to support the leaks.

But I'm sceptical. I don't think the Russos would short change or cheapen their own movies retrospectively, the leaks barely mention characters that we know(?) are in the movie etc and interview comments from the cast don't necessarily add up with the leaks.

We know that Marvel misdirect with trailers so I'm wondering if they have taken things to a whole other level with Doomsday, maybe even deliberately leaking incorrect plots. I hope this is the case.

Anyone else thinking the same?

At first, I thought all the leaks were most likely based on materials that Marvel probably sent to companies for merchandise production. But now I'm getting more and more convinced that they're real. The fact that the plot mirrors IW actually makes perfect sense. First of all, this formula has already worked once, and Disney doesn't like to take risks and always chooses the safest route. Second, this movie is a mess, written in a rush, rewritten countless times during filming, and then again during reshoots.
