The Avengers: Endgame rewarded patient fans by paying off some of the franchise's biggest character arcs, with Captain America proving he is worthy by wielding Mjølnir, Tony Stark snapping reality back to normal while delivering his classic "I am Iron Man" catchphrase, and the Avengers finally defeating the mad titan Thanos.
Despite that, the MCU hasn't always got it right, with some of its biggest moments being hugely underwhelming. The Thor: Love and Thunder build-up are some of the franchise’s most recent let-downs. But arguably worse than disappointing moments is when Marvel Studios start an interesting storyline only to completely abandon it, as they did with Nick Fury's tease at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Fury Claims Something Crashed In The Banda Sea
After the Avengers defeated Ultron, Nick Fury tells Natasha Romanoff that something crash-landed in Indonesia’s Banda Sea, hinting that it was the Hulk's Quinjet that he departed in following the Age of Ultron battle. But Grandmaster's champion gladiator. Given that's the case, whatever crashed in the Banda Sea wasn't Hulk's ship but the MCU still hasn't revealed what exactly it was.
The MCU could revisit Fury's unidentified object now that they have started to explore the ocean in Hulk before Taika Waititi wrote Thor: Ragnarok, so gave Nick Fury the ambiguous line to keep Hulk's options open.
Other MCU Plot Teasers Have Been Abandoned
Fury's Age of Ultron claim isn't the only dangling plot line, with several other MCU unanswered teases seemingly scrapped altogether. At the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming's Scorpion.
Some missing characters finally look set to have significant roles, with Spider-Man: Far From Home, which suggests other MCU heroes could also be undercover Skrulls. This will certainly be explored in Secret Invasion, but as for what crash-landed in the Banda Sea, that remains a mystery.
