While watching (and re-watching and re-re-watching) ‘Avengers: Endgame’, many fans discovered that the images on Disney Plus seemed washed out and muddy.

Is it the usual case of a bad device or low internet bandwidth? According to Disney Plus, yes, these factors are exactly what is hindering quality entertainment. But some fans have a different view. Despite good bandwidth, good devices, and prime locations, the “poor” quality problems persist.
#1 Room for Reason
The poor quality of Marvel movies on Disney Plus might not really be “poor” but a deliberate solution. All the pictures in Disney Plus’ Avengers: Endgame’ are a tone ‘brighter’ than the original Blu Ray one. This might be a deliberate attempt at providing good visuals that are ‘really’ visible and not-too-dark across all devices.

#2 All for a Marvel-ous Experience
Avengers movies grossed over a billion dollars and one of the MCU movies even broke the previous record to become the top-grossing movie of the ever. With Phase 4, MCU undertook a whole new direction for on-screen superheroes. While Disney Plus subscription retails for $6.99 a month, MCU is a billion-dollar deal with box-office tickets going as high as $200-500 on the opening days!

But when all the superheroes will be available at the doorstep, why would fans prefer to go to the movies? The only factors that can still motivate fans to watch the same actors tell a different story on the silver screen are quality and some kick-a$$ visual effects. This makes one think whether the quality of Marvel movies on Disney Plus is deliberately tempered with. Does that put two and two together for you?
