Spoiler Free Review
Go see the movie! - Ok done
It is hard pressed to say that there could have been a better resolution to the end of the Infinity Saga.
Although the total run time is 3 hours, every minute was enjoyable and filled action and or interesting story
The movie is one of the best fan service movie created and that is not a bad thing
Lets talks scenes - SPOILERS
Before the Time Gap
Majority of the community was correct in that Endgame started right up where Infinity War stopped
We finally see why Hawkeye goes so far off the deep end - his ENTIRE family was dusted - that would break any man
How did Captain Marvel know to pick up Tony and Nebula? Did she go to Earth first and then head out?
Really impressed with how frail they made Tony look - Was not expecting Tony to be as beaten mentally as he was when they rescued him
The infinity stones were still usable??.....Until Thanos snapped them away...
Wow - they kill Thanos off in the first 30 mins
The Avengers were truly defeated
After Time Gap (Before Heist)
Each Avenger is coping in their own way - Almost every Avenger is broken - More so than others
Natasha is so desperate to get my to normalcy - She is now the leader of the remaining Avengers trying to get order in the world
Odd note here is you would think the world would be in worse shape than what it is in - but you know plot reasons
Pan to Scott’s van, which is now in the storage facility and we get to see the real hero of the movie - Splinter aka the random rat
Fortunately, Cassie was not dusted as that would have broken Scott and thus ended the story - but again plot reasons
Tony’s Family is probably wanna of the best and most heartfelt moments in the movie - It showed the full growth that Tony’s character has gone through since Iron Man 1
Fan service #3453 - Professor hulk - A brand new person that had both the memories of Hulk and Banner but acted more on the civilized Banner side
Thor “Big Lebowski” Odinson - Seeing the once mightiest Avenger reduced to self-pity and carelessness really brought home how much weight each of the Avengers put on themselves for not stopping Thanos - Thor more than anyone because he had the chance to stop Thanos and didn’t
Ronin/Hawkeye has gone off the deep end - He has become a no hold vigilante
After Time Gap (The Time Heist)
Space, Time, and Mind - Cap, Banner/Hulk, Antman, Ironman
Right to the battle of New York and getting to see “America’s @$$”
Cap works for HYDRA?!?!? JK but great call out to the Secret Empire comic
Loki stole the Space Stone?!?! - Well there goes that timeline
1970 - Plan B - Tony and dad meet
The Sorcerer Supreme is in the movie!
Power and Soul - War Machine, Nebula, Black Widow, and Hawkeye
Nebula is part of a network?
Well dang now past Thanos knows of his future success and also Avengers attempt
We knew a sacrifice was going to be made and it was only perfect that Black Widow and Hawkeye went - from a story standpoint Black Widow dying made the most sense
Reality Stone - Thor and Rocket
They are going to extract it with a needle?!?!
Renna Russo AKA Frigga had the most lines in all of MCU
This is hopefully causing Thor to eat more salads
They used old footage of Natalie Portman
Infinity stones back together and Snap everyone is back just like that - kinda forgot it included birds too
The Final
Past Thanos comes to the future and immediately bombs the Avengers
Thor with Mjolnir and Stormbreaker???!!!???
CAPTAIN AMERICA CAN WIELD MJOLNIR!!!!!
CAPTAIN SHIELD CAN BREAK?!?
How can 3 take on a world-conquering army??
“On your lef
