The Light and Darkness saga thatDestinyonce began is finally, after a very long time, reaching its climactic finale. Throughout this past year, anticipation forThe Final Shapeexpansion has continued to grow to a fever pitch, and it checks out too, given how it marks the end of a narrative that began spinning into existence over a decade ago.
Interestingly enough, some fans have begun comparingDestiny 2and Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. You may be surprised to know, however, that the comparison isn’t limited to the grandiosity of the events—no, it goes far deeper than expected.
Similar to the MCU, Destiny 2’s Finale Is Nearly Inaccessible to Newcomers
Since the release of the firstDestiny, the franchise has evolved into a profoundly intricate looter shooter, all thanks to its significant number of expansions and seasonal events. However, there is no simple way of getting intoDestinythese days;you must take everything this game throws at you head-onand fill in the gaps via extensive lore summaries and videos.

It’s a situation reminiscent of the people who jumped into the MCU right around theAvengers‘ Infinity saga. Similar to what newcomers toDestiny 2now face withThe Final Shape, fans of the MCU had an overwhelming amount of content, some of it legally inaccessible, to get through before they could properly experienceAvengers: Endgame. In both cases, the learning curve is too steep and discouraging, preventing younglings from fully immersing themselves into either franchise.
RegardingDestiny, the community’s veterans often push newer players towards in-depth lore summaries such as My Name is Byf’s to get them up to speed. While these resources are invaluable, people need a better way to experience the saga and catch up.
Keeping that in mind, if Bungie wishes to go out with a bang withThe Final Shape, perhaps making the entire saga playable from the start again may be the way to go.
Destiny 2’s The Final Shape Is Both the End of an Era and the Beginning of a New One
Despite all the challenges withDestiny 2‘s content and whatever’s in store for the game’s future,one can never overstate the significance of The Final Shape.

This expansion not only represents the end of the reign of the greatest looter shooter of our time, but it also marks the rebirth ofDestiny. On a metatextual level, it also signals a transition that will surely bring new players into the fold, as older developers and veteran players may move on to new horizons.
For those who continue to stick withDestiny,The Final Shapeis poised to be a monumental event of their lives, akin to whatAvengers: Endgamebecame for mainstream pop culture. For Bungie, it is their most significant chance to deliver a satisfying conclusion to their decade-spanning story and pave the way for future adventures in the same universe.
Now, whetherDestinycan continue to ride this momentum into the future, unlike Marvel, only time will tell. With that said, what are your thoughts on the Destiny-MCU comparisons? IsThe Final Shapetruly as significant as fans make it out to be? Let us know in the comments below.
