I know that around the time Avengers – Endgame was released in 2019, there were next to zero negative comments about it. It’s no surprise then that soon after I sat down to watch Endgame, everything Marvel Studios is known for doing exceptionally well when they’re at their best was very present in this movie. From visually arresting action choreography, good dialogue, memorable special effects, to engaging humour, characters and story.

Directed once again by Joe and Anthony Russo, everything picks up in the aftermath of all the devastation that took place at the hands of Thanos, in Avengers – Infinity War (2018). With even higher stakes than before, Captain America, Tony Stark, The Hulk and their allies have one final chance to reverse everything Thanos did, and restore balance throughout the universe.

At the risk of repeating myself, as was the case with Infinity War, I don’t personally have any complaints about Endgame because I had fun through it all. An additional highlight for me is all the extra movie references. Plus, just as Thanos was the absolute star and my favourite character of Infinity War, the number one avenger in this movie is Thor, specifically ‘out of shape Thor.’ I found the surprise dive into Chris Hemsworth’s character so much fun that I’m quite sure I’ve never liked Thor more than I do in Endgame.

Of all the Avengers films, Endgame is perhaps the most affecting. Specifically, as someone who’s probably best described in this case as a casual Marvel fan, I can only imagine how much more significant an experience Endgame must be for the most serious fans of Marvel’s output.

Now that it’s all over, for now, I’m left wondering how long it will be before a brand new generation of Avengers is announced. I’m in no specific hurry, but when do you think the announcements will happen, assuming it hasn’t already happened? And how soon is too soon? I feel as though a year or two from now is madness, but then again, I’m not a Marvel superfan.

Happy Film Loving,
