I went in having kinda zero expectations for Endgame, except that all original Avengers would die. I was really pleasantly surprised that wasn't the case, though. Aside from wishing it was like, half an hour shorter, it was a really awesome movie! And I loved it way more than Infinity War. Or the previous Avengers movies. So yay for that!
If there's one thing I've always loved in Marvel stories (both comics and the movies) it's the found family bits. Like the opening with Nebula and Tony having spent what, 21 days together staying alive? Damn, I wanted a movie just on that! But yeah, watching all of them bond together was so sweet. Esepcially when they were trying to figure out their time travel heist.
I'm usually not one for actual families with two characters having a kid, but Morgan was a sweet lil' punk and I was elbowing my boyfriend and saying if we had a kid, that damn child would be ours XD I was more thrilled to see Tony and Pepper being able to chill and settle down in general, let alone have a kid.
Everything with Scott and his daughter had me tearing up. Then again, everything with Scott in this movie was A++. I love how out of place he is amongst the other Avengers but still makes it worse. Very much the needed comedic break in the movie imo.
The battle was exactly what I wanted it to be and the gauntlet relay was perfect :D I'm also proud of my girls Wanda and Carol just being badass. I am sad there wasn't more Carol :\ a lot of the interviews and stuff made it seem like there would be, but that's ok. At least she's still alive and kicking.
I love what the movie did with Thor... I did not love people in the theatres laughing every second his beer gut came into view. The poor guy went through a lot (I mean, they all did, but...). He lost his home planet, had to watch Thanos take out most of them (I was reading somewhere that only half of them made it to Earth?), and then messed up with not taking out Thanos before the whole snap thing ("should've gone for the head."). The guy's depressed and traumatized and rightfully so. I was happy the movie allowed him to be that and show him conquer his own demons. As someone who's been that low in their life before, it was great to see that... but also extremely painful to hear people laughing all the time at him. Yeah, the initial scene is funny with the video games and beer and pizza, but when it keeps going past that? Sigh... really hurts. I never even cared for Thor in the movies until now :\ I am glad he's teaming up with the Guardians of the Galaxy. That's super fitting.
I love what they did with Steve AND LOVE IT EVEN MORE THAT HIS LEGACY IS BEING PASSED DOWN TO SAM BECAUSE YES. I can't remember who took up the Captain America guise first, Sam or Bucky, but I really hope the Disney+ show with them is just a sitcom with them bickering like a married couple about who has to go out and be Captain America today.
I was really upset that there was nothing with Vision. Wanda mentions him (because of course she does), albeit vaguely, but that's it. Even when they did the credits with all the cast members, there was nothing for Paul Bettany. He's only been voicing Jarvis since the first Iron Man movie :\ and I get he had to stay dead, but having no one mention him in the movie really bothered me and that and other feels are why I'm 7.5k deep in a post-canon Endgame fic that's my life now
Sigh... people gloating about Tony finally being out is just horrible. I can understand Tony stepping out of the limelight, so to speak, to make room for other Marvel characters (because oh dear lord, there are so many) and his death makes sense with his story/character development, but gloating???? That's just stupid :\ ugh, I hate the internet sometimes. I jumped into a shiptag on tumblr post-Endgame to hopefully find people who agreed with me and only found people making petty remarks about the actors as to why they didn't like the characters together on a romantic level *facepalm*
Wow, this got rambly! I guess I'm just as excited about this movie as you! I'm way more of a comics fan than an MCU fan, so it's always a delight when I like one of the MCU movies. And I want to talk to people about them, but uh... also not associate with the MCU fandom, because... reasons ♥ I also need to look into a paid account so I can have more icons and fill them with my love for Marvel comics
