Everyone cried in my theater man. Everyone. Plus, in my time zone, my theater was one of the first to see it bc it opened an hour before so it was just a room of people who really cared enough to fight for the tickets to see the movie asap. So yeah. They're was cheering. There was crying. It was great.
My best friend hates Infinity War with a passion because it made her kids cry. I don't understand that lol 😂 I mean I fucking wept,. obviously, but I loved the movie for that
shahzeb ali i haven’t watched the original trilogy since they came out. I was born in 1996, so I was what? 6-8 years old between TFOTR and ROTK? I gotta dedicate a day to re-watch all of those soon.
This movie is so close to my heart. Somehow the entire MCU feels like a weird personal timeline of my life. I have watched every single mcu movie in theatres since the first Thor movie. I was doing my high school back then and I would usually go and watch them with my best friends on the first day of the release.. They were pretty much the only group of guys ide hang out with and I’ve actually known them since I was 7.. Over the years we graduated, found our jobs and got settled with life. slowly as adult life started to kick in, priorities changed and my friends started to rift away one by one. Sadly we are pretty much strangers now and around the release of Guardians 2, I had to start watching these movies all alone. When the avengers went back in time somehow I felt I went back with them, looking at my younger self, enjoying the same movie in the same theatre with my friends, cherishing those moments with no idea whats about to hit. I teared up hard when Thor’s mom asked “the future has not been too good to you has it?” Moral of this story: always cherish and enjoy the time you have because life will hit you hard. Always be grateful to the friends you have in your life. You don’t know when they will walk away.
Mohd Farhan - so true for me too. I accept that sometimes you drift apart from people, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The one thing I’ll always remember from those friendships are the good times. Don’t forget though, to enjoy the good times you’re having right now, too.
I had no idea the music was the same when tony threw the nuke up and when Tony snapped away thanos... that’s so brilliant of those who worked on the movies and observant of you. Mind. Blown.
Also same music: when we discover Cap is worthy, that is actually a call-back to "CA: The First Avenger" when he jumps through the fire to join Bucky after a beam collapses.
while it is so strange to be looking back at the final movie in this series a year later (and not even know when the next film will actually be released) i am so thankful for this wonderful look back at something i have spent so much of my life loving
"This world, these bonds, these stories, they all exist, because one man decided to build a heart" fades off to the sound of Tony building his first suit of armor in the very beginning I don't know why that was so powerful but it was.
Forget children crying. My first screening was a late night 3D IMAX showing, and there wasn't anyone younger than 15 there. Probably half of the room was crying.
Exactly! I love how their arcs invert. Selflessness and self-interest - you need a balance of both. None alone is healthy. Tony was the guy who's arc dealt with him looking beyond himself - "to the greater good". Steve was the guy who stands up for everyone but he needed to realise that it's okay to stand up for yourself too. Self-actualistaion doesn't make you any less worthy.
Toxic fans don’t seem to understand that character evolution means characters change. They revile all change as ‘destroying characters’. They are wrong. Characters are destroyed once the audience realizes that due to plot armor nothing can really happen to the character. Jon Snow in game of Thrones, SuperMan and Batman in DCU.... these characters were destroyed because nothing has happened to them. Therefore there is no longer any interest in them. Even the actors *quit* because there is nothing for them to do.
Also, both characters do what the other told them they couldn't do and should do. Steve said Tony couldn't make the sacrifice play, Tony makes the sacrifice play, Tony told Steve everything that was special about him came from a bottle, he's worthy; and Tony told him to try a normal life, and Steve tried a normal life.
This video is perfect. I loved everything about it. I'm not even joking when I said the ending, seeing the final scenes of Endgame again thinking about everything you said about the film actually made me tear up a bit. I'm immediately going to re-watch Infinity War and Endgame back to back. I need to experience it again. Thank you so much for this video! I will share it with everyone I know that cares about the MCU.

"No amount of money ever bought a second of time," Tony says, enjoying his moments with his dead father because of some expensive piece of time travel tech...
As a massive comic book nerd and a huge MCU fan, this movie was immensely satisfying. I'm not afraid to admit I cried four times. Two out of sadness (Black Widow and Tony's death), one out of joy (Cap getting what he always wanted) and one out of being a giant nerd (Cap wielding Mjolnir).
My hype for cap getting that hammer was exactly like Thor "I KNEW IT!!" . LOL we all thought it might happen but it was still F-ing awesome nonetheless. And as a life long iron man guy myself (even having iron man armor half sleeve tattoo that looks like my skin is peeling away and I have his armor underneath) Robert Downey was literally the perfect choice for iron man and that end "I am iron man" snap choked me up also . Any marvel fan is full of donkey dust if they said it didn't upset them and make them pumped at the same time
@@devilsadvocate4081 true. I think it was one of those things where you had to cut for time, effects and actors. I bet the story boards for it probably had many more possibilities. It's one of those things that has to be done pragmatically
Iron Man was the one that was ready to sacrifice himself in the first Avengers film. He was destined to die from the beginning. The Russos, Markus and McFeely gave him the perfect death.
Everytime i see the scene where cap finally gets mjolnir i cam still hear the screamings from the movie theater (opening night plus it was imax so u know the kind of screening it was) and from endgame reaction videos Idk why but it's the only one that it happens to me with
This video hit me hard. I was in my mid 20's when i saw Iron Man opening day and as much as i hate to admit it i did a LOT of growing up while seeing every one of these movies play out. I remember seeing every single movie in the theatre (and ever person that i saw each one with) and this video was like watching my entire adult life. Thank you so much for making this video and reminding me of the amazing journey these movies have taken me and everyone through.
I cried during endgame. Not at Tony’s death. Not at Nat’s death. Not at any intentionally emotionally moment. I cried at the Grand Assembling. I cried so incredibly hard. Harder than I have at any movie ever before. As the music kicked in, I looked the screen and smiled while simultaneously sobbing my eyes out.
every time I see those scenes when Cap gets Mjolnir for the first time and when he FINALLY says "Avengers... Assemble" still give me chills and tears from every possible emotion. those were pure MCU magic!!

@@andiran23 I always stay away from overhyped things, so I straight up refused to watch it while it was airing. A friend finally got me to try it and I was suddenly all caught up by the time the last season began to premiere. It was the same with GoT... I refused to watch it because of the hype and all the people telling me I would like it. I finally sat down and read the first book and then tried the show. Suddenly, 2.5 seasons later and I was all caught up in time to watch the Red Wedding as it premiered. I had only just reached that point in the books too.

@@katherinealvarez9216 It's an okay film to watch with others in the theater and it is entertaining because so much is happening that you have barely time to catch your breath - but narrative wise it is a complete mess. The film went through so many rewrites and recuts, the finale, according to some rumours, have been rewriten and recorded over the summer and reshot in September or so. It is very plausable that they actually did decide to just copy Endgame to save themselves some time in the end.
My theatre cheered during different moments of endgame... I haven’t seen a movie experience to that level where everyone cheers for cap holding the hammer and saying avengers assemble, and the tears for stark everyone had.. it was truly a movie that defined this generation.
I literally sat here at the end, crying, hearing u explain exactly how each character was feeling and their motivations made me so happy, while also being out more emotions, the MCU is really something special, I love this film, u gained a new sub!
The best part of your presentation is that it was delivered without any intentional irony. It was a very satisfying summation of a monumental story arc. Well done!
I wasd about to say lol I was sitting next to a kid as a 29 year old adult balling my eyes out and the kids like, whats wrong with you. Like damn little dude, youd never understand what these 11 years have meant!
@James Lucas Perfect answer. We never become an adult, if people mean by losing your childish nature. Childish nature? Hyman nature? Is that they mean? We gotta lose our humanity to be... adults? If so, who are we when we are adults? The society will never make sense. But yeah we are all children. Always be yourself.
I totally didn't. I accidentally rubbed the left over salt in my popcorn tub directly into my eyes, wasn't because an 11 year saga came to a dramatic end, nope, no Sir.
Thank you for this video. Endgame is my all-time favourite movie, and the MCU has been absolutely pivotal to my growth as a person since I was 8 years old. This movie means so much to me, and to see someone talk so beautifully about all the many things it does right is just heart-warming. I'm so glad I lived to see the conclusion of such a life-changing story ❤️
What a beautifully made video and explanation! I just finished watching endgame and have been searching for a video to give me closure and this was it!
I cried through most of the movie every time I've watched it, but I think the bit that still hits the hardest is seeing "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart" floating in the water. It started with Iron Man 1, and it was the most tragically fitting that it end with Tony's ultimate sacrifice, and ultimate redemption for all the times he'd been selfish and decidedly non-heroic.
Videos like this remind me why i got so emotional watching this in the theater. It was an ending well done with tears that were earned. I would gladly recommend this video to those who wrote off the marvel films as “not my thing” or “not cinema”. This is why i go to see a movie in a theater and not on a phone or an ipad. I go for a story that will move me.
A friend of a friend posted about this a few days after it’s upload and I only now took the time to watch it. He was right. This was great, eye-opening even. As well as showing how much more the MCU can inspire us.
Endings that have satisfying conclusion for me personally Return of the King Deathly Hallows Part 2 The Dark Knight Rises At World's End Endgame Godzilla vs Destoroyah Revenge of the Sith Return of the Jedi
You almost had me out by the end of the intro. Glad I stayed another minute and continued watching through it as it was an excellent analysis of the movie. Well done
Great point on time travelling. A lot of people just see 'time travel' and then switch off. Others expect to see something unique. I think the point wasn't a cop-out to undo Thanos' actions in Infinity War; the point was to make a journey throughout the MCU. It really was a game that was played to the end
Bowden Nthani - time travel is so good because we’ve all had moments in our life to where we wish we could travel back in time just to attempt to change it. Just having the opportunity is enough, and to be successful is a literal dream come true.
Im very thankful for creating this wonderful narrative. This journey of mine watching these movies since I was still a kid and growing up and watch it all end is really hitting the heart strings inside of me. A year of waiting Avengers: Endgame to come, I could stil remember being so hyped about it. The thoughts of Iron Man/Tony Stark dying isn't really digging me in as I thought they wouldn't let that character sign off. But as soon as I get to watch Endgame with my girlfriend, the final scene where Iron Man finally did snapped his fingers, all I felt was just pure joy and excitement as they've finally won the battle. But not realizing the outcome of it. There it goes, my childhood hero, slowly saying goodbye to me. I bursted out of tears and I couldn't help myself from crying so much. Watching this video brings that all back. When you talked about how Tony met his father , I started tearing up and it keeps coming until the last minute of your video. Thankyou for this! As a Marvel Fan, this is amazing.
The hype for Avengers Endgame was incredible, I remember getting excited each time a new trailer came out, watching the movie opening weekend was an unforgettable experience , good times 👏👏👏👏
"I don't really know how to open this video" - and Johnathan never did. Truly one of RUclips's greatest mysteries, so I'll take a stab at what he may have wanted to say in his video essay. "Marvel is good, me like the films, me think they do the action and smiles and sads really well and good, me think metal fly fast man have the good heart and do ending well" I might be paraphrasing Johnathan's inner thoughts a little, but I'm confident that's what he may have gone for. In all seriousness, this was an amazing video essay and Johnathan has done a tremendous job at highlighting the complexity behind it's structure and given a truly fun and nuanced look into one hell of a finale. Great work. xx
Avengers infinity war and Endgame were not movie showings, they were once in a lifetime experiences. Like seeing your very first movie in a movie theater, beating your first dark souls game, and other such memorable experiences in life. I have seen many movies at my movie theater and only Avengers Infinity war and Endgame EVER got the kinds of emotional reactions I saw when I went to these movies. They were emotional rollercoasters were people laughed, cheered, and cried. At most the only ever reaction I saw during a movie at the movie theater was laughing during a comedy movie. I have been following this MCU since the beginning of the MCU when I was 10 yrs old, and I feel lucky to be alive for this entire MCU journey we are all on. I love you Marvel and RDJ x3000, experiencing these movies when they first release and come out has been an amazing experience.
I am blown away by the quality and attention to detail in this analysis. Seriously. It also makes me appreciate even more the efforts by all involved who brought the MCU to life. Thank you for creating this and I'm excited to see the others in the series. All the best.
Wow, that was amazing. I have grown up with these movies and nothing has made me apriciate the effect they have had on me more then this video. Thank yu
I see the like and dislike button, but where’s the love button. My love for the MCU is on many different levels, and this video explores many of those levels.
Man I've been craving some new video essays on this perfect finale and infinity war for so long, I already consumed all media on it haha. Thanks for this!
One of the more important aspects of Endgame's story construction is that the time travel plot device isn't used in a typical manner. The story establishes right up front that going back to visit your past and work through it, cannot change your present. (The metaphor isn't hard to see.) While time travel allows those killed by the snap to return, it is crucial that the five year period of tribulation isn't undone. Thanks to that, those who are returned are granted the framework of being rescued, rather than being reset. The weight of their deaths is preserved.
I just wanted to voice my appreciation of the quality of your content; its fabulous. I enjoyed every second, every comparison was succinct yet connected to your overarching narrative exquisitely. I really wish they hadn't cut Tony's soul world scene with a grown Morgan...it gave such a good feel.
Put very simply (at least about this amazing essay's final point), what Tony gains is: 1. Closure with his abandonment issues with his father, and 2. A sense of HOPE. He has not had a sense of hope whatsoever, not since his parents were killed. I can't believe I'm just finding this essay. It's wonderful. Avengers Endgame has various plot flaws. But I wholeheartedly agree that it's EMOTIONAL punch is why it's such a satisfying and successful finale.

I like to think the six clanks of Tony's hammer at the end of Endgame's credits are a way of saluting the original six Avengers in the MCU.
Oh wait there were 6! Even if it might be unintentional, its really cool! I took it as a signal that the Infinity Saga is finally over now.

Don't worry, I have not seen one episode. And I still don't want to.
Both it and Better Call Saul are on Netflix. Utilize isolation time.

I always stay away from overhyped things, so I straight up refused to watch it while it was airing. A friend finally got me to try it and I was suddenly all caught up by the time the last season began to premiere.
It was the same with GoT... I refused to watch it because of the hype and all the people telling me I would like it. I finally sat down and read the first book and then tried the show. Suddenly, 2.5 seasons later and I was all caught up in time to watch the Red Wedding as it premiered. I had only just reached that point in the books too.
DAng son. Your ending gave me chills. "All because one man decided to build... a heart."
Love the diss on Rise of Skywalker xD well deserved, it is lol 13:17
I had to restrain myself from making more.

Love your vids man! Keep it up and stay safe out there. your fellow viewer, Sam
@@FilmsStuff I still haven't seen RoS, so I don't have an opinion on it yet.
@@katherinealvarez9216 It's an okay film to watch with others in the theater and it is entertaining because so much is happening that you have barely time to catch your breath - but narrative wise it is a complete mess. The film went through so many rewrites and recuts, the finale, according to some rumours, have been rewriten and recorded over the summer and reshot in September or so. It is very plausable that they actually did decide to just copy Endgame to save themselves some time in the end.
SITH ROAST *Decaf
Saw this opening night, and few screenings have had that much energy in the audience. What a crowd pleaser.
It sucked.
@@anubusx keep telling yourself that
My theatre cheered during different moments of endgame... I haven’t seen a movie experience to that level where everyone cheers for cap holding the hammer and saying avengers assemble, and the tears for stark everyone had.. it was truly a movie that defined this generation.
This is the most well done evaluation of these two movies I’ve watched
CinemaCitizens Yes it’s very good.
I literally sat here at the end, crying, hearing u explain exactly how each character was feeling and their motivations made me so happy, while also being out more emotions, the MCU is really something special, I love this film, u gained a new sub!
Very few times has a video made me as emotional as this one did.
The best part of your presentation is that it was delivered without any intentional irony. It was a very satisfying summation of a monumental story arc. Well done!
Children cried?
I think you mean almost everyone.
I wasd about to say lol I was sitting next to a kid as a 29 year old adult balling my eyes out and the kids like, whats wrong with you. Like damn little dude, youd never understand what these 11 years have meant!
@@anthonyzullo - 28 year old child, reporting in. I cried like a goddamn baby too, got some pretty bizarre looks and a "Jesus... Christ"
@James Lucas Perfect answer. We never become an adult, if people mean by losing your childish nature. Childish nature? Hyman nature? Is that they mean? We gotta lose our humanity to be... adults? If so, who are we when we are adults? The society will never make sense. But yeah we are all children. Always be yourself.
How is endgame almost 1 year old ?????? Epic viedo by the way
5:00 grown men and women cried in my theatre. I get it.
I totally didn't. I accidentally rubbed the left over salt in my popcorn tub directly into my eyes, wasn't because an 11 year saga came to a dramatic end, nope, no Sir.
@@WenBilson I didn't cry, tobey maguire just rubbed some dust in my eyes
Thank you for this video. Endgame is my all-time favourite movie, and the MCU has been absolutely pivotal to my growth as a person since I was 8 years old. This movie means so much to me, and to see someone talk so beautifully about all the many things it does right is just heart-warming. I'm so glad I lived to see the conclusion of such a life-changing story ❤️
The name AVENGERS means so much more now
What a beautifully made video and explanation! I just finished watching endgame and have been searching for a video to give me closure and this was it!
I cried through most of the movie every time I've watched it, but I think the bit that still hits the hardest is seeing "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart" floating in the water. It started with Iron Man 1, and it was the most tragically fitting that it end with Tony's ultimate sacrifice, and ultimate redemption for all the times he'd been selfish and decidedly non-heroic.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL
i tried not to cry...but when you started talking about Tony..i couldnt stop it
And I thought I was done tearing up over endgame. How foolish of me.
This was beautiful man. I never get tired of thoughtful analyses about this movie. Gotta watch it again.
Videos like this remind me why i got so emotional watching this in the theater. It was an ending well done with tears that were earned. I would gladly recommend this video to those who wrote off the marvel films as “not my thing” or “not cinema”. This is why i go to see a movie in a theater and not on a phone or an ipad. I go for a story that will move me.
A friend of a friend posted about this a few days after it’s upload and I only now took the time to watch it. He was right. This was great, eye-opening even. As well as showing how much more the MCU can inspire us.
Endings that have satisfying conclusion for me personally
Return of the King
Deathly Hallows Part 2
The Dark Knight Rises
At World's End
Endgame
Godzilla vs Destoroyah
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
That last line about building a heart gave me chills. 10/10 video. Good Job. :)
The best part about Tony's death is that, even a year later, I still tear up at it.
Amazing job mate! I loved how Endgame capped off the Infinity Saga soo beautifully! So many feels - both in the movie and in this video.
You almost had me out by the end of the intro. Glad I stayed another minute and continued watching through it as it was an excellent analysis of the movie. Well done
well done, I'm tearing up over here at your editing and words 😭
Geez man that ending gave me chills
Great point on time travelling. A lot of people just see 'time travel' and then switch off. Others expect to see something unique.
I think the point wasn't a cop-out to undo Thanos' actions in Infinity War; the point was to make a journey throughout the MCU. It really was a game that was played to the end
Bowden Nthani - time travel is so good because we’ve all had moments in our life to where we wish we could travel back in time just to attempt to change it. Just having the opportunity is enough, and to be successful is a literal dream come true.
Im very thankful for creating this wonderful narrative. This journey of mine watching these movies since I was still a kid and growing up and watch it all end is really hitting the heart strings inside of me. A year of waiting Avengers: Endgame to come, I could stil remember being so hyped about it. The thoughts of Iron Man/Tony Stark dying isn't really digging me in as I thought they wouldn't let that character sign off. But as soon as I get to watch Endgame with my girlfriend, the final scene where Iron Man finally did snapped his fingers, all I felt was just pure joy and excitement as they've finally won the battle. But not realizing the outcome of it. There it goes, my childhood hero, slowly saying goodbye to me. I bursted out of tears and I couldn't help myself from crying so much. Watching this video brings that all back. When you talked about how Tony met his father , I started tearing up and it keeps coming until the last minute of your video. Thankyou for this! As a Marvel Fan, this is amazing.
Great video! I absolutely love this series of films and End Game was a perfect send-off and bookend for this first chapter.
The hype for Avengers Endgame was incredible, I remember getting excited each time a new trailer came out, watching the movie opening weekend was an unforgettable experience , good times 👏👏👏👏
26:40 I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Your color grading was on point 🙌
"I don't really know how to open this video" - and Johnathan never did.
Truly one of RUclips's greatest mysteries, so I'll take a stab at what he may have wanted to say in his video essay. "Marvel is good, me like the films, me think they do the action and smiles and sads really well and good, me think metal fly fast man have the good heart and do ending well"
I might be paraphrasing Johnathan's inner thoughts a little, but I'm confident that's what he may have gone for.
In all seriousness, this was an amazing video essay and Johnathan has done a tremendous job at highlighting the complexity behind it's structure and given a truly fun and nuanced look into one hell of a finale. Great work. xx
Man I cried watching this. I can’t make it to the end without crying. Just such an amazing movie and a beautiful send off💕
Avengers infinity war and Endgame were not movie showings, they were once in a lifetime experiences. Like seeing your very first movie in a movie theater, beating your first dark souls game, and other such memorable experiences in life. I have seen many movies at my movie theater and only Avengers Infinity war and Endgame EVER got the kinds of emotional reactions I saw when I went to these movies. They were emotional rollercoasters were people laughed, cheered, and cried. At most the only ever reaction I saw during a movie at the movie theater was laughing during a comedy movie. I have been following this MCU since the beginning of the MCU when I was 10 yrs old, and I feel lucky to be alive for this entire MCU journey we are all on.
I love you Marvel and RDJ x3000, experiencing these movies when they first release and come out has been an amazing experience.
I am blown away by the quality and attention to detail in this analysis. Seriously. It also makes me appreciate even more the efforts by all involved who brought the MCU to life. Thank you for creating this and I'm excited to see the others in the series. All the best.
You are making me cry again for this movie!
Thank you for maintaining the correct aspect ratios on all of the films! You didn't mindlessly just stretch them all to 16:9.
Wow, that was amazing. I have grown up with these movies and nothing has made me apriciate the effect they have had on me more then this video. Thank yu
Bravo man, bravo. Beautiful essay on a beautiful film. Thank you.
I see the like and dislike button, but where’s the love button. My love for the MCU is on many different levels, and this video explores many of those levels.
One of the best RUclips videos I’ve ever watched. Brilliant
Thanks for coming back. I am making a video like this on my channel when the one year anniversary hits
This is honestly the best video essay I have ever seen for this movie congrats to you keep making moves👏🏿💯🔥
Ugh! Such a perfect analysis! Bravo! And this made me cry.
Man I've been craving some new video essays on this perfect finale and infinity war for so long, I already consumed all media on it haha. Thanks for this!
I don’t comment often on RUclips videos, but I hope you see this because this is *magisterial*. Amazing work. Keep it up!!
The edit of the final scene with I Need A Hero from Shrek 2 playing over it is even better than the actual end battle
It was awesome but I prefer Avengers' theme.
I definitely did not expect to see my struggle king here!
Scott you silly, what are you doing here huh? Get on' up outa here
Let me just say that this channel is AMAZING.
"These bonds make our heroes stronger."
I know now that I don't need my sweet ass shield. My friends are my power!
HOLY SHIT, THAT ENDING WAS SOOOO GOOD.
good job on your script
Absolutely amazing video, keep up the good work :)
I can't believe I get to watch content like this for free, such a great video
One of the more important aspects of Endgame's story construction is that the time travel plot device isn't used in a typical manner. The story establishes right up front that going back to visit your past and work through it, cannot change your present. (The metaphor isn't hard to see.) While time travel allows those killed by the snap to return, it is crucial that the five year period of tribulation isn't undone. Thanks to that, those who are returned are granted the framework of being rescued, rather than being reset. The weight of their deaths is preserved.
The end made me cry. I hope you are proud of yourself.
This was godlike. Great video. Really enjoyed the points made about the characters and their arcs colliding with their past issues.
The Russo brothers are to be commended. Good endings are hard to pull off (for example, Game of Thrones, and the reimagined Battlestar Galactica).
I just wanted to voice my appreciation of the quality of your content; its fabulous. I enjoyed every second, every comparison was succinct yet connected to your overarching narrative exquisitely. I really wish they hadn't cut Tony's soul world scene with a grown Morgan...it gave such a good feel.
Very thought provoking!
Brilliant!
Today is 24 of april its been exactly a year since my screening of Avengers Endgame . Brilliant Video.
saw Endgame right after my mom died... the Thor scenes really hit me
Condolences.i agreed that was a powerful scene
Children cried?! I'm 30yrs old and cried like a big baby through both movies, multiple times, and even during re-watches... Great vid!!! SUBBED👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
What a phenomenal video. Concise (considering the vast content), insightful, and well told. Respect to you sir.
That funeral scene makes me cry every time. Even with out the music.
i'm here because yesterday is the one anniversary of the release of Endgame worldwide!
Put very simply (at least about this amazing essay's final point), what Tony gains is: 1. Closure with his abandonment issues with his father, and 2. A sense of HOPE. He has not had a sense of hope whatsoever, not since his parents were killed.
I can't believe I'm just finding this essay. It's wonderful. Avengers Endgame has various plot flaws. But I wholeheartedly agree that it's EMOTIONAL punch is why it's such a satisfying and successful finale.
Excellent video.One of the best i've seen so far. Keep up the good work
Oh man, that last line and the echoes of his hammer in the cave got to me.
Two characters were denied their happening ending. Don't forget Black Widow.
she got hers. She made the choice to die, to save what had become her real family. She was at peace, and said so.
Stellvia Hoenheim haha
Who?
@@CamJames Yeah, she really seemed so happy and "at peace" when she cried before jumping to her death...
Guy R "it's OK. Let me go."
