Feige says Thanos buildup was in fans' heads

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed criticism over Robert Downey Jr.'s introduction as Doctor Doom in the MCU.

Feige argued that Thanos' buildup before 'Avengers: Infinity War' was minimal and mostly imagined by fans.

Fans on social media slammed Feige, citing Thanos' influence through the Infinity Stones quest across the Infinity Saga.

Critics contrasted Thanos' gradual buildup with Doctor Doom's sudden introduction, noting no similar foreshadowing in Phases 4-6.
