Hi Take I will say this, there somethings you mentioned in your analysis video that I agree and somethings I am honestly iffy about. Still, quite a good video you made. Keep up the good work.
Cap and Tony both completed great arcs, but don't forget Thor, who visits his mom on the day she dies. For a franchise that has repeatedly featured "bad dads", it is great to see someone's MOTHER help them realize their best self. Endgame is an embarassment of riches. One great scene after another. The payoffs in this movie were astounding.
Indeed. But thor’s arc isnt completed yet. It certainly has in the Infinity saga but he clearly is shown setup as in the Guardians movie, or should I say “Asgardians”. He’ll be needed in the fight against Adam Warlocke
@@johnathonhaney8291 Perhaps. But just going on the character's age in the comics(where he's an old, wizened asian man with a long white beard) the ancient one is 400 years old at the point where the passing of the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme to Doctor Strange in our modern day takes place.
Avengers Endgame ends an era to Marvel universe that will last forever. The way Tony and Caps journeys end is perfect and I think the MCU has been left in a good place for the future.
@@RevRyukin7 not entirely, you can put the 2 in one single sentence ''an end is forever'' or ''the end is forever'' so the aren't completely the opposite
Probably the best movie analysis channel on RUclips. Please, never feel pressured to make videos just to sustain growth. That's the demise of most channels of this kind.
Agreed. And while there is certainly desire to have them do even more videos (I wish they would analyze all the things), thankfully Screenprism/The Take have operated on a regular weekly schedule that has managed to be prolific without feeling excessive.
I'm so glad someone picked up on Cap's elevator scene! I was ready for another fight in there and for Cap to be like "some things never change" but I was blown away with how the scene went instead. Not only was it a clever jab at the comics when Cap says the same thing, but it highlights his movie experiences since.
Once in a generation event. We were there. In my opinion Marvel has cemented itself as the biggest franchise, even greater than Star Wars. Our pop cultural phenomena. And they’re still going.
Ruben Avalos Until some ass reboots it, you mean, and either overwrites all the original stories or rewrites history so that all the original characters suck. It only takes one trolling hack, tbh, and a new studio head with more ego than sense.
Johnathon Haney Stating facts is hardly "panic". But when it happens, I'll remember this comment when I want a laugh because there hasn't been a fan of an IP that hasn't believed that.
@@juanita-dark I said "on the horizon", dumbass, not some distant future where people may or may not care. And Disney likely has better cyber security than Sony and enough sense to nail Feige to his desk.
Tony and Cap go through reverse arcs and I love it. Thor’s arc is very much a mixture of both but also learning that failure is, in essence, okay. Such a great film!!
In Ultron, there’s a line where Steve sees the past and an empty Dance Hall. The message is that he isn’t worthy, because deep down, he’s a soldier that NEEDS a war to fight. He has no other purpose than to be a soldier. I think he becomes worthy the moment he sees Peggy and Decides he wants to come back to her, that he no longer needs the fight. Every soldier has to come home.
@@Carcosahead He didn't know Bucky was the Hydra agent who killed them...but he did know from Arnim Zola that it was indeed Hydra that had Tony's parents eliminated.

@Scott Summers Concern trolling noted...and may I add that people have been playing this pointless guessing game since the first Avengers film? The key behind the scenes personnel is still in charge of Marvel Studios and after all this time and work, betting against them is a sucker bet.
@@johnathonhaney8291 They're not gonna be able to continuously topping their achievements, though. At some point everything is going to go downhill. After all, when you've reached your peak, the only way to go is down. I personally don't see this happen any time soon, especially since they just acquired the movie rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four and they just established the possibility of multiverse in Far From Home (see the new trailer), so there are a lot of new storylines to explore. But the decline is bound to happen eventually.
This actually dovetails with a thought I had about Endgame the other day. I was trying to figure out the film's antagonist. It's NOT Thanos; he only pops up in the beginning, part of the middle and the end. No, the real antagonist of Endgame is the Original Six's collective history, especially in the case of Tony, Cap and, to a lesser extent, both Thor and Nebula. Thus the film, as you say, becomes about making peace with the decisions that you made and the most the time you have left.
@Rtkts Agreed but the presence of the antagonist should always be felt, even if they are offscreen like Voldemort in Harry Potter or Mal in Inception. Again, Thanos does not qualify under those rules, the present version having been summarily executed in the beginning and the past version only getting involved due to the Nebulas' mutual network during the time heist. But the past I was talking about? THAT is constantly felt every step of the way in this film as an impersonal, inescapable force that drives the Avengers to truly desperate measures. The time-displaced version of Thanos is simply the most aggressive and overwhelming manifestation of that, the final boss they must overcome before putting the past to bed at last.
The antagonist is the Avengers themselves and how their decision to go back not forward has cons, as well as pros. It's their not letting go, which ironically, only really Tony and Natasha achieved in death.
I know Tony and Steve are made up characters but I feel like I can aspire to them. The traits these characters have are simply what most of us see the best traits in humanity. So that figures.
I always felt the most like Steve: a bit naive, ready to jump in to help at a moment's notice, haunted by my mistakes. That he got his ending made me cry as much as Tony's death.
It's been more than a week since I watched Endgame for the first time and regardless of what I try to do, I can't seem to stop thinking about it. I've been thinking that it's a little embarrassing how deeply affected I've been by this "simple" blockbuster, but after watching your video I'm starting to realize that Endgame could not have come at a better time for me. I'm graduating high school in a few weeks, and, after being a student at the same school for 12 years, it's naturally difficult to deal with a change as big as this even though I knew it was coming. It may sound silly, but your analysis allowed me to finally see why Endgame means so much to me (beyond the fact I've been invested in this universe and its characters for almost 5 years), and to finally start accepting that "part of the journey is the end". This is for sure one of my favorite videos on your channel! :)
I remember my high school graduation too, buddy, though it's been decades. It didn't really hit me until the day after and then...oooo boy. Don't be embarrassed by how the film touched you. It's a sign of how well they did their job that it did.
Great analysis! Tony's ark is great and so touching. And yet so many people say the MCU movies are just popcorn trash...if they were they wouldn't be as popular as they are. Marvel managed to put universal human themes within a ton of blockbuster fantasy movies, while mantaining continuity and logic; an amazing feat!
That line was perfect. Kylo Ren delivered it flawlessly. And if Star Wars includes time travel into the story, I'm done with Sci-fi. Time travel ruined Harry Potter and MCU. So please let the past die. Time travel sucks.
Artuc Tell The time travel messiness is deliberate, and most likely builds to a larger story. They effectively "fixed" the original problem while unwittingly creating future problems for future heroes. It's nice to have consequences and ramifications, and the Avengers films have been subtly building towards that throughout. I'm guessing that theme doesn't end with the original team initiative but keeps going as the MCU grows.
The time travel scenario in Avengers: Endgame’s supposed to open up alternate timelines, different realities when messed around with. So future films can do something with that. Spider-Man: Far From Home’s apparently gonna do that with Mysterio talking about alternate dimensions. The original superheroes that this franchise focused on have moved on, and now there are new heroes that’ll take their place going forward. Avengers: Endgame was certainly the end of the old Avengers, but it opened up new possibilities for future Marvel films.
When Morgan says she wants a cheeseburger, I immediatly remembered Tony's request in the first Iron Man, and I started crying all over again after bawling at Tony's death
Can we just talk about how picking Nebula to be one of the protagonists was so risky yet so brilliant I loved her arc so much and I'm so ready to keep watching her
i really did sob in the cinema at the ending with steve and peggy... after all these years, the soldier has returned home 😭😭😭cap will always have a special place in my heart
Wow, that line you had in from AoU when Steve tells Bruce about not waiting too long hit me more just thinking about Natasha’s fate in Endgame.Great video love your channel.
I always thought in Avengers 2 cap simply did not lift the hammer all the way cause he didn't want to embarrass his friend thor. like you know the simple. sane. nice thing to do. and totally in his character.
@Scott Summers but it did move slightly. It clearly budges and makes a noise. There's no "partial worthiness" otherwise Stark and Barton would have also budged it, as they're good men overall but not quite worthy.
@Scott Summers So, Hela & Odin are Worthier than Cap? Both of them have deliberately Murdered countless lives for the sake of World Domination & even then - they could Lift Up The Mjolnír, no pressure. Odin kept the truth of Hela being her Daughter for over 1000years from Thor & yet he could Lift The Hammer. Hela came back to, take back Asgard - all bad intentions, yet she not just holds Mjolnír, she crushes it to pieces. Bottom Line: The Hammer Chooses Who Is Worthy, it doesn't matter whether you are Good Or Evil Or Have Bad Intentions. Therefore, Cap was worthy all along, he didn't pick up the hammer in *AOU* out of respect for Thor (& that's such a Steve Roger thing to do).
@Scott Summers Guess I struck a nerve, as that post was barely coherent. And the worthiness bit, you may remember (or not, given your previously established shit memory), was only added by Odin in Thor 1. Only Thor, Vision and Cap have been able to use it since. Do TRY to keep your facts straight.
Thank you so much for this wonderful analysis. You guys are the best things on RUclips! Also loved your one Marvelous Scene Video. Maybe you guys should analysis one scene from this Movie. Pretty Please
so glad I was alive to experience these amazing not only movies, but this worldwide love and dedication. some of my best movie theatre experiences I've ever had were with these movies. TY MCU ily3000
Great video y’all! I’ve been telling the same thing about the Black Widow scene. An amazing juxtaposition of what relational love can be, a fight to see who would sacrifice first. Self-sacrificial love. It would be cool to see y’all tackle Thor’s arch too. There is a lot about expectations and worthiness even in what some may say is a comic relief role. But I think Hemsworth turns in an incredibly nuanced performance of grief and disappointment! Again great job!
Doctor Strange is also a movie about Time... but this one, I feel, is more about the Consequences of one's own choices. A lot of free will vs determinism going on with tony and thanos. "whatever it takes", "i am inevitable"
Another great video! Thanks for helping me come to terms with an ending that I love and am so emotionally attached to, but to a story that I didn't want to end.
Your videos and analysis bends my mind in every way possible. Some of my favorite content on RUclips. Also, Endgame thematically is pretty much the polar opposite of The Last Jedi. In Jedi, we are told to ‘Kill the past’ and yet in Endgame we witness characters we love embracing and literally interacting with their own pasts and the pasts of each other. And in doing that, they, and we as the audience, achieve the storytelling equivalent of nirvana - catharsis. You can’t really say that about The Last Jedi, I would say.
You do know that Kylo Ren, the villain, is the one saying that, right? And he is resoundingly contradicted by Luke ultimately changing his mind and saying “I will not be The Last Jedi”, right? Like, Thanos says that killing half the universe will help, by because he is the villain we understand the movie is framing that as the antithesis. Just because a character says something doesn’t mean that’s what the movie is about. Kylo Ren said that, remember. And he was wrong. The movie shows us as much.
the best way to explain the end game timeline is that its a treadmill. nomatter where the past or future is at on the treatmill . it still only moves one direction and you will still be moving forward on your own
I appreciate this poetic look at the themes and longer narratives from this entire series. Too many reviews are focusing on the bitching without considering the aspects you’ve discussed here. I’ve seen the movie twice and both times was tearing up fairly frequently. Despite the potential validity of the negative reviewers nitpicking on some aspect or other, the movie outcomes did not feel contrived- they resonated and had an impact on me emotionally, which I attribute to the deeper recognition of what you are speaking to in this video. It’s astonishing what the creators have been able to do with these characters. While giving plenty of typical superhero action and destruction, they (mostly) never lost sight of making characters human and relatable. I am thankful to such devotion to making quality stories rather than simply money-makers. After so many films, i, for one, do not have super hero fatigue (unlike, good lord, the Star Wars fatigue I felt long long ago). I am looking forward to more compelling characters and thrilling rides. Thanks for your insightful videos!
This is such a great, great take on Endgame and why it ends the way that it does. And why I'm so frustrated with everyone talking about how unsatisfactory the ending is, because how can it be unsatisfactory when it's about this? You've justified so many things that the fans have been griping about in a single video and I applaud you for that. Thank you so much.
@@alanmike6883 Oh yes, the last 2 seasons had some great episodes, just not as many. The death of Joyce was one of the top 10 best episodes they ever did. The Body. I cried like a baby during that.
True, but I think it would've spared some plot holes if Tony sent everyone back to their original timeline with his snap, or that it was implied that he recovered all broken timelines with the snap. Aside from that, I think Tony's death was handled perfectly and that the endshot was perfection at it's best.
@@aramisaac4292 From such messiness can come great stories. But yeah, even though I knew it was coming, Tony's death hit hard. I was singing the last two verses of Space Oddity between the tears.
I thought Dr Strange held up finger to remind him that there was only 1 way out of 14 million to stop Thanos. Considering that he held up 1 finger, I think the numerology makes more sense.
The more I think about this movie, the better it gets. I am just so grateful that they made the ending of this movie feel so satisfying and complete. It is odd how this movie came out so close to the end of Game of Thrones and it did everything that I feel Game of Thrones did not do. Both franchises have had a long time to make us invested in this story and to these characters, one failed miserably and the other succeeded more than I thought it would.
I was mad that they killed off Black Widow but I never thought it that way. I was thought that it was her way of saying thank you for not seeing her as a killing machine but a hero.
Absolutely fantastic breakdown of an amazing movie. It was beautiful seeing Cap and Tony's arc complete, even if it was bittersweet because they're over now.
It would have been cheap if in Endgame the Avengers simply would have pushed the reset button. For the MCU to move forward every character must take notice of what had happened. I would have loved a scene with secretary Ross, either acknowledging that the whole Avengers could have prevented the decimation or returning from the ashes, wich would have implied someone would have explained him all that has happened.
Ross is too much of an asshole to go that far, I think. And yeah, that reset button you're talking about was one of the biggest weaknesses of the original Infinity Gauntlet storyline, so I'm glad it was skipped too.
I'm worried about the after. Cap and Tony were the most integral parts to this franchise, and without them in it, it feels empty. I wonder who will fill that void. The ending of Endgame felt very much like the end, too. But I suppose it's a new beginning.
Remember that the love didn't happen for any of the Original Six except Iron Man overnight. It took Cap until his second solo movie and Thor his third. Both Nat and Clint were often described as useless and Hulk had a lot of baggage going in. So it will take some time to sort out the new class.
Phenomenal break down ladies! I am personally a huge marvel fan and I personally believe you did this breakdown justice. The point you nailed it on the head you guys get it, thank you🤧💙
I think the antagonist of the film was the past itself. That when you ignore the past instead of using and embracing it, you are doomed to be haunted by it forever. When you use and embrace the past, it becomes the way to the future;

I teared up watching this. A fascinating video essay with a gorgeous message. Thank you.
Wow, that line you had in from AoU when Steve tells Bruce about not waiting too long hit me more just thinking about Natasha’s fate in Endgame.Great video love your channel.
I always thought in Avengers 2 cap simply did not lift the hammer all the way cause he didn't want to embarrass his friend thor. like you know the simple. sane. nice thing to do. and totally in his character.
agreed.
It's quite debateable. I heard some people saying that Kevin Feige has confirmed that Cap was always worthy like you said.
Yes :) For me, the hammer either moves or it doesn't.
Your analysis are always so incredible. But this is one of your best ever! Well done!
okay. thanks.
I'm gonna go now and cry a little.
You mean you aren't already? I am...no shame in doing the same.
Love this channel

You have nailed the depths of endgame in this video analysis, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 😭😭
I always thought that, at the party, Steve realized he COULD lift Mjolnir. And to spare Thor, he pretended that he couldn't. That's Steve all the way.
@Scott Summers but it did move slightly. It clearly budges and makes a noise. There's no "partial worthiness" otherwise Stark and Barton would have also budged it, as they're good men overall but not quite worthy.
@Scott Summers So, Hela & Odin are Worthier than Cap? Both of them have deliberately Murdered countless lives for the sake of World Domination & even then - they could Lift Up The Mjolnír, no pressure. Odin kept the truth of Hela being her Daughter for over 1000years from Thor & yet he could Lift The Hammer. Hela came back to, take back Asgard - all bad intentions, yet she not just holds Mjolnír, she crushes it to pieces.
Bottom Line: The Hammer Chooses Who Is Worthy, it doesn't matter whether you are Good Or Evil Or Have Bad Intentions.
Therefore, Cap was worthy all along, he didn't pick up the hammer in *AOU* out of respect for Thor (& that's such a Steve Roger thing to do).
@Scott Summers Did somebody forget that uncovered mural in Ragnarok where Hela was plainly wielding Mjolner?
@Scott Summers Guess I struck a nerve, as that post was barely coherent. And the worthiness bit, you may remember (or not, given your previously established shit memory), was only added by Odin in Thor 1. Only Thor, Vision and Cap have been able to use it since. Do TRY to keep your facts straight.
Everyone, all of us have opinions. It's not always black and white. So let's respect one another despite our difference in views.
This is one of my favorite analyses. It's very informational and it helps you understand everything
I bet Cap always let's Peggy win an argument because he knows how life was without her.
Also, Cap has always been worthy.
After ten years of MCU and a grandiose finale, you only need the cherry on top: a lovely and insightful video by The Take. Thanx, Girls!!! Luv U!
Thank you so much for this wonderful analysis. You guys are the best things on RUclips! Also loved your one Marvelous Scene Video. Maybe you guys should analysis one scene from this Movie. Pretty Please
Very good points about the importance of memory, loss, and holding on to what we love...
so glad I was alive to experience these amazing not only movies, but this worldwide love and dedication. some of my best movie theatre experiences I've ever had were with these movies. TY MCU ily3000
I never thought a marvel movie would ever make me cry some 4 or 5 times.
Great video y’all! I’ve been telling the same thing about the Black Widow scene. An amazing juxtaposition of what relational love can be, a fight to see who would sacrifice first. Self-sacrificial love.
It would be cool to see y’all tackle Thor’s arch too. There is a lot about expectations and worthiness even in what some may say is a comic relief role. But I think Hemsworth turns in an incredibly nuanced performance of grief and disappointment!
Again great job!
Avengers: Endgame is right now the second highest grossing movie of all time. I’m so proud of living in a world where this is happening.
It’s videos like this one that show why this channel, imo, is the best film essay channel on RUclips
I've spent a bunch of time crying with Endgame, now watching this video has been part of that time.
Doctor Strange is also a movie about Time... but this one, I feel, is more about the Consequences of one's own choices. A lot of free will vs determinism going on with tony and thanos. "whatever it takes", "i am inevitable"
Another great video! Thanks for helping me come to terms with an ending that I love and am so emotionally attached to, but to a story that I didn't want to end.
Your videos and analysis bends my mind in every way possible. Some of my favorite content on RUclips. Also, Endgame thematically is pretty much the polar opposite of The Last Jedi. In Jedi, we are told to ‘Kill the past’ and yet in Endgame we witness characters we love embracing and literally interacting with their own pasts and the pasts of each other. And in doing that, they, and we as the audience, achieve the storytelling equivalent of nirvana - catharsis. You can’t really say that about The Last Jedi, I would say.
You do know that Kylo Ren, the villain, is the one saying that, right? And he is resoundingly contradicted by Luke ultimately changing his mind and saying “I will not be The Last Jedi”, right? Like, Thanos says that killing half the universe will help, by because he is the villain we understand the movie is framing that as the antithesis. Just because a character says something doesn’t mean that’s what the movie is about. Kylo Ren said that, remember. And he was wrong. The movie shows us as much.
7:36 this suit and shield design is badass
This channel is like narrative protein
the best way to explain the end game timeline is that its a treadmill.
nomatter where the past or future is at on the treatmill . it still only moves one direction and you will still be moving forward on your own
Add some Quantum Entanglement theory and you're spot on.
No you are also crying, yes we are all crying. :)
I didn't
This video has made me appreciate Endgame so much more than I already did.
This is the best derivation of themes ive come across showcased in the film.I love you guys.Another incredible work ❤❤❤❤
I appreciate this poetic look at the themes and longer narratives from this entire series. Too many reviews are focusing on the bitching without considering the aspects you’ve discussed here. I’ve seen the movie twice and both times was tearing up fairly frequently. Despite the potential validity of the negative reviewers nitpicking on some aspect or other, the movie outcomes did not feel contrived- they resonated and had an impact on me emotionally, which I attribute to the deeper recognition of what you are speaking to in this video. It’s astonishing what the creators have been able to do with these characters. While giving plenty of typical superhero action and destruction, they (mostly) never lost sight of making characters human and relatable. I am thankful to such devotion to making quality stories rather than simply money-makers. After so many films, i, for one, do not have super hero fatigue (unlike, good lord, the Star Wars fatigue I felt long long ago). I am looking forward to more compelling characters and thrilling rides. Thanks for your insightful videos!
So Thankful For The Take!🎬
Thor's arc resonates with me, because he takes three steps forward and two steps back. He gets caught in his own mistakes.
This is such a great, great take on Endgame and why it ends the way that it does. And why I'm so frustrated with everyone talking about how unsatisfactory the ending is, because how can it be unsatisfactory when it's about this? You've justified so many things that the fans have been griping about in a single video and I applaud you for that. Thank you so much.
this is beautiful. making peace with the past in order to be able to carry on into the future. that is so poetic.
Another heartbreaking part is that only two people grieved for Black Widow.
Wibbly wobbly timey whimy stuff
Odd how Doctor Who anticipated the weirdness of modern Quantum Physics...
When does that crossover movie happen?
"Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong."
Another hero who gave his all to save a people who needed him...Godspeed, Solus!
Beautiful take on Endgame's symbolism :)
You ever going to analyze Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Preferably the tv show, not the film.
Would be great. Spike was awesome
@@alanmike6883 The first 5 seasons of the show were awesome. My wife and I still rewatch the first 3 seasons from time to time.
@@RansomeStoddard
I still like the last two seasons 😏
When Joyce died though. As a kid back then it wrecked me...
@@alanmike6883 Oh yes, the last 2 seasons had some great episodes, just not as many. The death of Joyce was one of the top 10 best episodes they ever did. The Body. I cried like a baby during that.
wow...you sure explained something quite complex incredibly simple.
Wonderful as always, Great movie and I cannot think of better ending
True, but I think it would've spared some plot holes if Tony sent everyone back to their original timeline with his snap, or that it was implied that he recovered all broken timelines with the snap. Aside from that, I think Tony's death was handled perfectly and that the endshot was perfection at it's best.
@@aramisaac4292 From such messiness can come great stories. But yeah, even though I knew it was coming, Tony's death hit hard. I was singing the last two verses of Space Oddity between the tears.
@@johnathonhaney8291 Absolutely right
I didn't really think of the movie's theme that way. Thanks for breaking it down.
I did see that theme in GoT S8 E2 & 3.
Bless you guys! This is the most amazing movie analysis channel on RUclips. Love ya guys 3000!!
I thought Dr Strange held up finger to remind him that there was only 1 way out of 14 million to stop Thanos. Considering that he held up 1 finger, I think the numerology makes more sense.
The more I think about this movie, the better it gets. I am just so grateful that they made the ending of this movie feel so satisfying and complete.
It is odd how this movie came out so close to the end of Game of Thrones and it did everything that I feel Game of Thrones did not do. Both franchises have had a long time to make us invested in this story and to these characters, one failed miserably and the other succeeded more than I thought it would.
I’ve been waiting for this video from you guys!
Can I just say that you have a really nice and pleasant voice to listen to? :))) great content as always by the way
Another home run! Keep up the outstanding insight & producing new linears of thought.
thanks for telling me the themes, i hardly knew the themes
im doing this for a composition
I was mad that they killed off Black Widow but I never thought it that way. I was thought that it was her way of saying thank you for not seeing her as a killing machine but a hero.
Tony, Steve and Thor all get such beautiful arcs. No I'm not crying its just raining
Yeah, it's raining out my eyes too.
Best movie analysis ever.
This is one of the best. Thanks!
I could only bring myself to watch the film at the beginning of this year. And thank you for this vid! So beautiful.
Was actually waiting for this.
Dang! This video was so good. I knew this was going to be good. Didn't expect to tear up halfway through.
You just earned a new subscriber. That analysis was beautiful 😢🙂
I love your videos! You keep doing what you do!
Absolutely fantastic breakdown of an amazing movie. It was beautiful seeing Cap and Tony's arc complete, even if it was bittersweet because they're over now.
Beautiful video. Thank you
It would have been cheap if in Endgame the Avengers simply would have pushed the reset button. For the MCU to move forward every character must take notice of what had happened. I would have loved a scene with secretary Ross, either acknowledging that the whole Avengers could have prevented the decimation or returning from the ashes, wich would have implied someone would have explained him all that has happened.
Ross is too much of an asshole to go that far, I think. And yeah, that reset button you're talking about was one of the biggest weaknesses of the original Infinity Gauntlet storyline, so I'm glad it was skipped too.
I'm worried about the after. Cap and Tony were the most integral parts to this franchise, and without them in it, it feels empty. I wonder who will fill that void. The ending of Endgame felt very much like the end, too. But I suppose it's a new beginning.
Remember that the love didn't happen for any of the Original Six except Iron Man overnight. It took Cap until his second solo movie and Thor his third. Both Nat and Clint were often described as useless and Hulk had a lot of baggage going in. So it will take some time to sort out the new class.
Phenomenal break down ladies! I am personally a huge marvel fan and I personally believe you did this breakdown justice. The point you nailed it on the head you guys get it, thank you🤧💙
I think the antagonist of the film was the past itself. That when you ignore the past instead of using and embracing it, you are doomed to be haunted by it forever. When you use and embrace the past, it becomes the way to the future;
Best analysis I ever seen
