If you’re familiar with this name, it’s because they’ve been active for quite some time. Originally released as an exclusive for the PS4 console in July of 2014, it later became available on PC.

Although there might be no audible grumbles about the Avengers brand, it could be due to a decline in fan enthusiasm, often referred to as “fan fatigue”. Since the Avengers gained popularity and became a familiar term, largely thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Comics has consistently produced more and more Avengers material for its audience.

However, this isn’t the only factor affecting the Avengers; other elements are also playing a role in their perceived decline.

In the story, one of the missing children’s stepfathers served time there previously, while a teenager was sentenced for a hate crime and ended up behind bars there. Additionally, another character is menacingly threatened with Shawshank, emphasizing its ominous presence in the townsfolk’s collective memory.
Following the enormous popularity of the original, a subpar sequel was rushed out within a year, disappointing fans due to its lack of many elements that made the first film captivating. Fast forward 16 years, Hollywood attempted another installment in the series under the guise of a spin-off titled “Blair Witch“. Produced covertly under a pseudonym, it wasn’t until a screening at San Diego Comic-Con that the secret was unveiled – this was indeed a Blair Witch Project sequel. Regrettably, the reception for this film wasn’t much better, but it hinted at an exciting future for the franchise, potentially exploring alien and other supernatural entities beyond the actual Blair Witch. Sadly, those plans never materialized.
