Avengers: Endgame – Master Class of a Movie

SPOILER WARNING for Endgame and Infinity War!

One of the most hyped up movie of all time, Avengers: Endgame came out on the 25th of April, 2019. In its opening weekend, the movie made $1.2 BILLION internationally at box offices, breaking the record for the quickest movie to acquire an income of $1 billion of any movie.

To fully understand the details of Endgame, the viewers should learn background info on the previous Avengers movie, Avengers: Infinity War. In the ending of Infinity War, Thanos the mad titan had defeated the Avengers and completed his goal, which was to wipe out half of the the universe’s population, taking down some of the most loved characters such as Spider-Man, Bucky, and Black Panther. Infinity Wars leaves the viewers on a huge cliffhanger, especially because the viewers had to wait almost a full year for Endgame to be released, which would conclude the sequel. This was one of the reasons that Endgame is having such a huge income in such a short time.

Avengers: Endgame takes place five years in the future. At the start of the movie, they are in Avenger headquarters where they are plotting their revenge. This was an interesting start to the movie because for the entirety of Infinity War, they were trying to take down Thanos. So, the Avengers don’t just take down Thanos, they annihilate him. Captain Marvel is the new addition to the team and makes an instant impact. When they get to Thanos’ planet, they came for the stones to bring back everyone who died. They see that Thanos destroyed the stones. He used the stones to destroy the stones. The Avengers kill him and they go back to HQ.

Scott Lang comes back from the quantum realm in which he was trapped in from the end of Ant Man And The Wasp and has an idea on how to bring back the people who vanished from the snap. With the help of Ant Man, they can successfully test time travel in preparation to stop Thanos. In the final battle, everyone who vanished from Thanos’ snap returns and helps defeat Thanos and his army of Chitauri and Outriders.

Also, in the end, the most epic scene happens. Thanos obtains the stones that the Avengers collected. He attempts to snap and destroy everyone, but Iron Man steals the stones with his own makeshift gauntlet made out of nano tech and snaps instead. The entire Thanos army turns to dust and Thanos is defeated. Although Iron Man snapped his fingers and defeated Thanos, the snap somehow affects him as well and ends up dying. In our opinion, this movie was amazing, and was the perfect way to end the Infinity Saga.
