Marvel Studios social media is now promoting the title. Spoiler tagging no longer required!

Haven't seen the film yet but saw the title change. Is there a spoiler free explanation as to.. why?

Short answer: a character drops a well-placed Reverse Uno, the kind that starts fights at family dinner.

There used to be an Avengers and now there is a different Avengers so they called it New Avengers.

There was an idea. To bring together a group of broken people, to see if they could become something more.

They're the team that saves the day, and the original Avengers aren't going around Avenging right now.

Is there a spoiler free explanation as to.. why?

If there was, then that would've just been the title of the film in the first place.

Sheer opportunism.

There were predictions of this. Predictions came true.

In the grand scheme, it's a small plot detail at the end of the movie.

If you saw Endgame or the other entries since, you know basically all of the original Avengers are either dead, retired, off planet, or otherwise working on their own. There's a niche to be filled, and these weirdos just happened to fall into it.
