I can agree. When my grandma passed one of the fam members said to pull her plug I was mad at that family member but in my grandma's memory I had to let that anger go my brother took it hard and I'm not going to ask him to forgive if he doesn't want to. I've lost more and I won't forgive myself.
The other element about Thor that cannot be understated, is when Mjolnir answers him. He was clinically depressed, and didn't have the emotional spoons to do much of anything... but according to the magic on Mjolnir, that didn't make him unworthy. That was an *amazing* message to send to those fighting such demons.
Real, but also Jesus is even better. If you didn’t know, Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 KJV If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on UA-cam and a UA-cam channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.* God Bless :)
@@plzletmebefrank "spoons" are used as a metaphor for energy reserves. It comes from a story wherein someone with a chronic illness was explaining to her friend what is like to be sick like that, at some diner. The knives and forks from the place settings had been cleared away, so all that were left were the spoons. She grabbed the dozen or so spoons and gave them to her friend, and asked what activities they wanted to do each day, and took away some number for every task, depending on how much energy it took. The friend kinda freaked out when they went from plenty of spoons to very few, and hadn't even gotten to the "have lunch" part of their day. It was such a useful metaphor, so viscerally understandable, that the meme spread. And now the meme has spread to you
Cap stood alone against Thanos’ army was the very thing he said in The Winter Soldier: “If I’m the only one so be it, but I’m willing to bet I’m not.” And he’s right, soon after all the Avengers showed up.
The first 30 minutes of showing the consequence of Infinity war is what missing now days in every MCU movie. Everyone forgot there is a giant celestial body in the sea lying.
I hate how no one touches on what's set up by past movies, back in the old days, many movies touched one what happened in Avengers 1, the entirety of Civil War was consequences of Age of Ultron, Infinity War and Black Panther touches on the aftermath of Civil War, Endgame wraps up Civil Wars story and Steve and Tony's turmoil, there was connectivity, nowadays, let's see here Doctor Strange and Spiderman break the multiverse, no one cares The entirety of the Sorcerer's were annihilated, and Wong is watching shows with a random woman, the entire US had a rework and no one gave a shit, half the world was gone for years, and everyone ignores it like it never happened, a dead celestial is laying in the ocean, does anyone mention it? No? Did they atleast mention the giant celestial who showed up in New York and abducted 3 people? Nope! Maybe they atleast picked up on people killing at random because of lack of trust after Skrulls? Were yet to see that but I'm gonna guess not as the world looked fine in Captain Marvel Everyone keeps saying that it's the writing, yes it's an issue, but the biggest issue with me, is there's no connectivity left in a shared universe, I wanna see one story lead into another, I want to see the end credits be for another movie, not just adding another character who may or may not get a movie in, like, 5 years
A lot of people take the old MCU movies for granted. 23 big-budget movies (most of which were solid entertainment) that contributed to one storyline---just amazing.
Right off hand, I can’t think of any other movie franchise that has done that, so it’s really an historical feat that I really feel will be studied by film/art students for a very long time. I’ve never really nerded out on a franchise or watched its movies over numerous times as I have with the iron man and captain America story line. It’s pretty remarkable what these folks have achieved.
But then after Endgame they turned into the M-She-U and ruined everything. Very few movies since then worth watching. Spider-Man 3, Guardians 3, and second season of Loki. That's about it. Maybe some of What If.
I don't think they will be able to create the same experience. The woke culture has ruined it. Now you have to pick a female character for something only would work for a male character and even if they go with a male, instead of picking the right person to play it they have to find a male character with brown/pink/yellow/black/blue/etc color who is not cut out for the role. To put it simple, instead of picking the right person to play the role we are now focusing on how to please the woke.
Facts. One of the Best Moments of my Life. I recorded almosy every awesome scene of it in the theatre but unfortunately lost the videos. Still regret it to this day...
truly great moment. i regret not knowing much about marvel back then. i just went to watch the movie with a lot of people cause it was a birthday party. even though i knew barely anything about the MCU and all of the superheroes and stuff, i still got goosebumps that day and still do till date on watching the final avengers assemble scene
I never noticed the Thor details were this much meaningful I’ve noticed Thor standing on the rubble looking at Thanos alone but never understood the deep meaning behind it. Lad you’re literally the best when to me it comes to details about movies
The deeper meaning behind it could also be that he's at an awe, that the bastad who snapped his brother is sitting right in front of him regarding chopping his head off a few years ago.
The "Avengers Assemble" line by Cap was so impactful that it almost brought me to tears. I applaud the writers for saving that line till the very end of the saga. The theatre at that moment was dead silent, and only Cap spoke. You feel rallied. Like you are actually there. What an experience.
Cap leading a therapy group was a lovely call back to when he met falcon and learned that it's beneficial for both the people in the therapy and the person leading it to heal.
Infinity War/End Game was the culmination of 11 years and 22 movies of creative freedom, dedicated fans behind the wheels, and seemingly unlimited budgets. Most of the stuff after seems to be a product of corporate oversight, budget cuts, and oversaturation of the market.
You can't exactly say that marvel is dying. Cause even though phase 4 wasnt the best , it still made history with Spiderman nwh . They also had Loki , Moon Knight , Wakanda Forever , Shang Chi , Wanda vision , Hawkeye and Falcon and the Winter soldier which were great.
Fat Thor was the best thing about End Game. That moment where he calls his hammer, and is surprised when he's still worthy teaches us one of the most powerful lessons we can ever learn in life: It's not your weight or depression that defines worth. It's showing up for the people you care about when they need you.
_the measure of a hero is how well they succeed at being who they are._ - Friga This would be trite except it is so relevant to the relationship between these characters and their fans. Thor is worthy because of his heart, not because of his entitlement from Odin, and not his biceps and wash board abs.
Thor on his own was awesome. He went from typical Thor look, went over to modern look, in the end he looks kinda like his father, Nordic braids, big body and goes full ham with the thunder. His last look is the best one.
@@JonO387I mean, literally is history though, no matter your opinion of the movie. It happened in the past. It is past. It is history. And it was pretty fucking important considering it was the culmination of an innovative, 11 year event that changed what we thought possible in cinema.
One thing left out about Thor is that he is still almost a child in Asgardian terms. Remember when Eitri says" well done boy". Eitri knew, in Asgardian terms, Thor is still very much young in both strength and wisdom. Asgardian Gods get stronger as they age so this Thor was not yet a match for Thanos. I think there was a comic story where Thor was made to get older by Thanos who did not realize it made Thor stronger, not weaker. I rarely comment, but this thought has been on my mind for a while.
The best continuation Marvel threw in there was from Avengers 1. "Everything special about you came from a bottle" Tony replies to Cap in Avengers 1. In Endgame, Cap proves him wrong by picking up Mjolnir "The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You are not the guy to make the sacrifice play" Cap tells Tony in Avengers 1. Iron Man sacrificing himself in Endgame proved Captain wrong. Gotta love how they set up those two scenes in Endgame way back in Avengers 1.
Yes, but it has deeper levels than that. Steve and Tony broke up - during the Civil War. That in part led to the Avengers defeat. But in the end both characters learned from the other so.... Tony falls on the grenade (the sacrifice play) Steve cuts the wire (he gets a life/instead of trying to end his life) They prove each other wrong - because they *learn* from each other. It's one of the best character arcs in these kinds of films ever. Things like Avatar that some confuse for 'good films' - in comparison just make me laugh. 2 of those films and I don't think there are *any* characters, even now. Jake Skully still a plot armored bro Jughead. Quarzreich SS or whatever his name is, is still a bigoted buffoon. I mean there's just nothing, no growth, no change, just repeat same shix and collect ticket receipts - because the writing is soo bad.
@@summertyme5748 Damn, Tony laying down on the barbed wire for the whole universe to metaphorically cross to safety.. and Steve being there to know what his friend sacrificed. And Cap finally getting to live a life is much like cutting the wire instead, and Tony would be happy to know Steve got the chance to do so. Deep.
This is peak fiction and peak writing. It is a shame that no one puts as much dedication to the craft anymore. I wish I could be as skilled as these writers.
@@brawn7828 absolutely and the execution of Endgame was definitely no joke. I was worried about going into the theatre with huge expectations but boy did it deliver. It was nothing short of a marvel no pun intended 😂
Audibly gasping "yes" in excitement watching the movie and fiercely holding back tears when Tony died. This movie didn't even feel like it was as long as it was when you first saw it. You were so captivated and invested and I loved every minute of it.
I love the last detail you pointed out. "...turns the legs to jelly", When thanos sat down, it literally foreshadow what he said in the beginning. Thank you lad.
Amazing video, never even thought about the 30 minute thing. So many character details you picked up on like Cap going through it all before. This went beyond just hidden details. Really good work mate.
as long as there are those that remember what was, it will always be those that are unable to accept what can be that was a line of thanos as we all know , and i truely think infinity/endgame where the best ones by far. but we also have to accept what can be , what might come. i know it has been years , and some people maybe dont even enjoy a single one of the new movies. but i legit think we are abou to see that peak again. FOR ME: Guardians of the Galaxy 3. & Shang-Chi where exactly what i needed. i also think loki was peak. Honestly im just waiting to see a good thor & Hulk again , something like Thor 3 , both where so great on that movie. i will have the hope and patience. im rdy for it ALWAYS
@@beastboyviv5255peak cinema? Oh, it was good, don't get me wrong. It will be remembered for years to come. But it's not peak cinema. For all its strength in world building and character growth, the MCU, even at its peak, lacks thematic depth. It doesn't challenge perceptions, it doesn't work with grand ideas, it's not even pushing innovation. Endgame was the end of a very well crafted narrative, that shines by not dropping any balls through 22 movies with a crazy cast of 30 characters. That is impressive. It's also algorithmic.
Missing old times bro 😢.. all the surprises, excitement, hopes, joys .. I don’t know if we could get those feeling back for MCU in the nearest future.. but I’ll be rooting for them 👍
5 years later and this movie is still fresh in my mind... 5 years... goddamn that time went by so fast I might as well have been snapped into today's time
@@ridhipattnaik4390 not even close, if that was the case billions would be dead till this day. Yet big countries will find a way to exterminate population, like they are doing now with wars.
@@ridhipattnaik4390 During Covid I used to say that Cinema died with Endgame. Nothing since has really been as good or motivating enough to go to the theaters for. It's all just so "Meh" now.
I regretfully disagree. No, actually, the MCU will not always be fun. Disney/Marvel is focusing upon identity politics propaganda to the exclusion of absolutely everything else, including good story creation, good screenwriting, good acting, and good production quality. Even the most basic things about movie making, like basic continuity, is missing. The vast majority of screen and streaming productions that have come out of Disney and its divisions have been at best mediocre, and at worst absolutely abysmal failures. They have destroyed every other franchise they have taken possession of, and they are soon to do it to the “Avengers” franchise as well. At some point, very soon, they will sacrifice the budding “Spider-Man@ franchise upon the altar of “The Message”. There is nothing enjoyable about that.
@@johntrench 1. If you don't like it, don't watch it. 2. Marvel has ALWAYS been about identity politics. Cap fought in WWII. The Mutants are stand ins for every marginalized group in history starting with the jews. It is what it is. Go watch DC.
@@BionAvastar3000 no, Marvel has never been this preachy. Well, OK, once in my youth when it got all aware of some of the drugs and in equities, but then it gave us exactly what we were looking for again, entertainment. We had that stuff in our face all the time, we didn’t want it in our face when we were being entertained. And you have addressed none of the points. They have put identity politics ahead of good story, ahead of character, development, ahead of story. things have come out since endgame have been mediocre at best, most of them far worse than mediocre. And for the record, I do watch DC. I grew up with both of them, not quite the generation where they started, but not too long after that. And no, the notion that, say, mutants are different than other people that aren’t mutants doesn’t qualify as the same as the identity politics extreme to which they take it now. So here you go: One. I get that you apparently like it. That’s your prerogative. It doesn’t change the fact that this is bad material. Bad productions for the cinema, bad productions for the streaming service. Two. I’m assuming that you “like it”, because you are all about the identity politics. The perennial victim hood, kind of thing. That’s the impression you’re giving. I can see no reason for liking the material that has come out since endgame. None of it has been good, none of it has even been coherent. They used to have people who would ensure consistency between scenes. The people were wearing the same tie they were wearing before, they were holding the same coffee mug they were holding before, etc. They miss on this. These productions are just going through the motions of being productions. It is the central message, the propaganda, that is meaningful. At least to them. They sacrifice everything else for that. And that just doesn’t work as a movie, or as a streaming show. Three. Having a message, whether identity, politics, or other, is no excuse for bad storytelling and poor production values. It’s no excuse for flat, two dimensional acting. Four. The identity politics that you’re siding, is not the same as the identity politics they are vaguely smearing with the characters in these franchises. I’m fighting in World War II does not qualify as “identity politics. Is giving these characters backstory that explains some of their attitudes. That worked in the X-Men, showing Magneto became who he was. They’re not doing that in these new shows. The race, the gender, the sexual orientation, are not part of the characters backstory. They are the story. Nor the points they are making entirely right. They are simply assuming they’re right. Representation is fine, but they’re not doing diversity and inclusion and equity. They’re simply reversing the discrimination. They’re still excluding. And the groups that they are representing, to be fair, overrepresented. We’re getting things that emphasize, say, sexual identity. The LGBTQ plus community constitutes approximately 2.2% of the world population according to best census data. Do you want to do diversity, equity, inclusion, equity would require that they be 2.2% of the emphasis. If we want to get technical. But they’re not. They are the emphasis. Women being able to do anything and everything men can do, is the message. And it’s wrong. Men and women are fundamentally different. Two parts of a human species with entirely different roles, entirely different capabilities that they evolved for. Characters that are being swapped in gender, swapped, which is disrespectful to the material, and disrespectful to the races and genders that are being swapped in. It’s basically, admitting that one has no confidence that these people can stand on their own and support a show. For a while they were going to race swap Superman, to connect back to your “go watch DC “bullshit. There’s no reason to believe that there weren’t shadings of skin on the planet krypton, assuming that we’re going to accept that there’s a planet where the species evolve to look exactly like us, or we exactly like them, even though the odds of that are vanishing small. Small enough to be, on a day-to-day basis, insignificant and inconsequential. why don’t you think about the material considerate critically, instead of looking through whatever identity politics lens you view the world through currently. Then go back and watch those shows again, this time with your brain engaged.
@@johntrench I agree that it's good to watch shows critically, and there have definitely been some trash comics and shows, (She-hulk in particular springs to mind), but you need to go back and read the comics from the beginning, I mean the really beginning, from the golden age, and tell me that the stories were always peak fiction all the time. It's always ebbed and flowed, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Don't like it, don't engage. Better yet, make your own media.
@@BionAvastar3000 I don’t think you and I are disagreeing in substance, merely an emphasis. One place I vehemently disagree with you is the “don’t like it, don’t engage.“ It is perfectly legitimate to engage in criticism and backlash as an audience, along with voting with our feet and our dollars. I agree with you that it has always been an Ebben flow as well. Unfortunately, we are in a massive. The attack on pop culture, with the sacrifice of production, quality and entertainment value, to focus on the all important biased and extremist sociopolitical and sociosexual narrative and agendas, are a case in point. They are part and parcel of the extremist polarization we see occurring both in our body politic, and in our society is a. That polarization is not healthy. The degeneration of society into further polarized “communities“ based on race, gender, identity, liberal versus moderate versus conservative, politics, etc., is also not a healthy development. It is perfectly legitimate for fans to impose a negative backlash against production companies, disrespect the franchises they have come to know. It is more appropriate to engage in negative criticism and backlash in response to poor production values, lack of development, poor acting, and SGN language - Intensive attacks on the viewing public for not liking and accepting the propaganda trash that has been coming out recently. For not liking accepting the poor production quality that has been onto theater screens and streaming services and into print media in recent years. Those are going to continue. I am perfectly content to be a part of them. As for going back and reading the comics, all the way into the past, I’m willing to bet that I am further along in that regard than you are. That’s not as an insult or a negative jab in anyway. I was born in the 1950s, I’m 66 years old, and in my day I have been “privileged“ to read comics from the very beginning (albeit through reprints), and to grow up with “Spider-Man”, “X-Men”, “Fantastic Four”, Star Wars”, “Indiana Jones” and a variety of other franchises, both now within the unfortunate possession of Disney, and from other productions studios, as a contemporary. I think it gives me a bit more unique perspective since I have watched the evolution of a lot of this media, from its legitimate emphasis on quality, broad appeal entertainment that just happens to contain information or plot lines regarding issues of the day, to the current propaganda pieces that present, not only the issues of the day as to the detriment of production quality, acting, and story franchises that are not about those issues, specifically biased and extremist on those issues. The majority of people don’t want that. That is reflected in the rapid decline in viewership, theater, attendance, ticket sales, comic book, sales, and massive rise in negative criticism and negative backlash. We live immersed in reality. We seek entertainment outlets to escape, not to have it rammed in our faces, particularly by people who have rather extremist views, many of which are decidedly disconnected from reality in aptly named “social justice warriors“, and the overly fascist censorship and dehumanization and deletion tactics of cancel culture. None of these trans are efforts to appeal to a “new demographic“, or to bring in an entirely new massive fan base. Those don’t exist. If they did, they would have rushed to support movies like “The Marvels”. They would have been out in force supporting the trailers for the upcoming Disney excretion, “The Acolyte”, which would have been reflected in a decidedly positive ratio of responses to negative instead of the record-breaking negative ratios that both of the trailers received, massive negative race, not the product of a tiny minority, and massive negative ratios against the few ads that have been out. as an aside, I can’t wait to see how the producer/show runner and the president of Lucas film twist and turn and Dodge to avoid accepting personal responsibility and be accountable for the failure of that show, as is highly likely to happen, it fails, even more miserably than the trailers dead. And I can’t wait to see the irrational mental gymnastics they engage in in order to blame it all on a “minority of opinionated fans” that they somehow convinced the vast majority of the viewing to not like their work, something that implies that the vast majority the public are mindless sheep that are easily lead by that minority, but somehow are not responsible equally minority message. Senseless. I can’t wait to see how they twist reality, to what death of delusion they sink, in order to attempt to blame that failure, which may represent anything from mediocre, showing to being an outright bomb, upon men. Particularly, heterosexual white men. Their boogie man of choice. The manner in which the superhero movies in the Marvel tent were skillfully crafted and connected together, leading up to “Avengers Infinity, War“, and “Avengers Endgame“, was truly masterful. It does represent a high peak in cinema, and establishes a very high bar that Disney Marvel fails to even approach, let alone clear. They’re showing has been even more pathetic and blatantly agenda driven in the Disney Lucas film division and it’s treatment of both. “Indiana Jones” and the “Star Wars” franchises. The failures they have been experiencing provide proof positive that people do not want blatant, extremist agenda, politics in their entertainment. They do not want messages targeted at changing values and attitudes in their children, circumventing their rights as parents, in the entertainment. They want entertainment, high quality, broad based audience appeal, devoid of agenda and narratives instead of saturated with and focused upon them to the exclusion of everything else. Loud fan/audience, criticism, huge negative backlash, along with voting with feet and dollars, are all legitimate expressions against those things. Telling people to “don’t like it, don’t engage”, “go make your own media” simply won’t cut it. The attacks will go on. And there is some indication that they are having the desired effect. Please excuse any weird punctuation, bits of weird grammar, and odd, weird choices. I am using the voice recognition function on my iPhone, as I am traveling, to compensate for a hand injury that prevents me from simply typing. I’m not sure I agree with your statement that the MCU “will never recapture this perfection” either, however, that is not a disagreement specifically with you, as much as it is a statement of hope on my part. I see no reason why, if they focus upon production quality and get out of gender, identity, politics, Disney, LucasFilm, Marvel, and Pixar can’t continue to break new ground and achieve new heights. So that’s not an argument, that’s just the hope. Addendum: your specific mention of the ill-fated “She Hulk” series is particularly resonated with me. It is also an unfortunate example of the extreme to which people involved in the production, in this case, particularly the actress, will blame the fans, tell them to shut up, tell them that they have to accept what they’re giving, etc., all the witch exhibits, particularly toxic level of overblown, self entitlement, and hubris, as well as an utter disrespect, on not entering into contempt, for the audience. This is what I think is the problem with Disney and its divisions today, and it’s a problem they need to solve in order to achieve any significant level of success. They’re allowing these problems to enter into even the theme park, where they are eliminating things that no one found objectionable, and putting in attractions that attract no one. They appear to be not merely going into damage control, but to be actively seeking someway to backpedal while saving face, which is a sort of positive sign. The reality is, they’re going to have to accept losing some face, they’re going to have to accept the level of disrespect that they have brought upon themselves, in order to be able to, fix the problem that they have caused, and if it’s possible, fix the severe damage, they’ve done to so many of the franchises, so IP they have taken possession of and have all but destroyed.
The characters, the acting, the CGI/VFX, the emotion, the cinematography, the action, the balance of jokes and seriousness, Endgame is still ahead of its time. Really shows just how genius the marvel writers are, back then at least.
didn't u watch the video lolz..it said endgame and infinity war movies were made back to back, as in ONE whole movie cut in 2 , they did NOT wait a year in btween, they already did the TWO movies in one shot!
End Game was perfect! We saw these characters were grew to love, show how heroic they truly could be. And Cap wielding Mjolnir was the coolest moment in cinematic history!!!
That was a great scene. Incel ranting against girl power, as if they are scared of girls just makes it even better. And if that scene 'ruins' the movie for them - i wish them man ruined movies in the future. lol
Facts people forget what This Movie did and they say "it's overrated and it was just fan service" No it was the payoff and culmination of 10 Years and 22 Movies of Storytelling and it was The Most Perfect Ending to The Infinity Saga that I could've ever imagined. One Of The Greatest Comic Book Movies Of All Time.
I agree with the vid too. It doesn't really look overlooked. It's the highest-rated MCU movie on IMDb, 93% of Google users liked the movie; a higher percentage than any other MCU movie, and the people calling it "overrated and just fanservice" are just a vocal minority on social media. So we're lucky that people agree with us. I say it's my favorite comic book movie and I tend to get numerous uplikes.
Endgame was unique in the way that it had no "happy" moments. Most movies follow the same basic pattern. Introduction which can be happy or sad,then the main story which is full of negative emotions with the villain's plan succeeding to some degree or starting to succeed, but then the heroes manage to win and there's a happy ending. Endgame meanwhile started very sad, then the main story had the same mix of successes and defeats but in the end, even though the heroes won, no one is fully happy because we still lost one of the greatest heroes.
There is an emotional maturity in the film which is unusual in the genre. That’s what earned the respect of so many viewers who otherwise turn their nose up at these kinds of films.
Good timing for uploading this video, canadian lad👍 It's already 5 years this movie had released & coincidentally infintiy war(2018) & endgame(2023) are set 5 years apart in the movie timeline
one more detail, when thor sees captain and tony taking a step back, he realises that they are afterall humans, and it is his duty to protect them as he is the king of the nine9 realms, so he takes a step forward, as in to protect them from thanos if he attacks them
Another one of my favorite moments from Endgame was just after Thor cuts off Thanos's head. The walk, the music, him not even daring to look at his friends and just leaving. That moment truly embodied "The fall of a god". The moment where Thor truly felt that he lost.
Avengers Infinity War has the greates of all time action, story and personality but Avenegers Endgame has the greatest of all time emotions, drama and character development, and that is including the greatest action, story and personality. These movies set bar so high, that it is near impossible to achieve.
*Steve Rogers* In 1st Avenger: Steve Rogers [pre serum] , tells Peggy about all the fights he's had and lost. She asks why he kept fighting [why not run away?] His answer - as a scrawny young man - who had polio as a kid - is that he always had something to prove. Peggy's reply: _I know something about that._ (as a woman - as opposed to undersized man - who had the heart of a fighter) When it's suggested that he find himself a girl (try being a lover, and not a fighter all the time) - Steve replies that girls: _terrified him._ Go watch the film again, because some of the Steve stans deny this, cuz they are like little kids and actually share the characters insecurities. lol. Peggy then coyly says: _Maybe you just have not found the right girl._ And this leads to their romance - in which Steve promises to come back to Peggy. But in the climatic final scenes of the film - *He breaks his promise.* Steve choses to go down with the ship - to finally realize his goal of dying a hero, and thereby SKIRTING the one thing *he stated* he truly feared....girls. Love. Can't be overstated: He didn't just prevent the plane from hurting others...he could have jumped out...nope HE WENT DOWN WITH THE PLANE. He "died/not/died" - *rather than* risk going back to Peggy. Talk about standing up a date! lol. [it's Peggy *not Bucky* that he broke his promise to - but again Steve and Bucky stans view the film as 12 year old boys would and they completely ignore all of the above because the 'girl' from their perspective is just getting in the way of the Batman and Robin comic book for little boys....they are trying to sustain in their heads] In Age of Ultron - Ultron calls Steve out, and understands his story - better than many people writing in these forums: _Aaaagh! Captain America. God's righteous man. Pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..._ Mind Stone enhanced Ultron gets it. And so does Steve - when Wanda hexes him and see's the life he ran away from.... _Are you ready for our dance? The war is over Steve? _We can go home now!_ - Peggy When Steve travels back in time - he sees that Peggy never did forget him - never got over him. He realizes their love is mutual - and timeless. *He can go home now.* When he travels back in time and returns the stones, he then makes the choice that is opposite of his 1st Avenger choice. He choses the lover this time - over the soldier. He choses Peggy *over* Captain America [again unacceptable to 12 year old boys, but the film is written for adults]. In doing so he also answers the Challenge that Tony 1st put to him: *To get a life.* To try cutting the wire for once - instead of trying forever to fall on the grenade. Stop being afraid of living, and so trying to give your life - and *get a life* instead. And it was beautiful. In so doing Steve Rogers completes his character arc, [some 'fans' don't even get that character arc implies change due to the narrative- not repetition despite the narrative. Just writing 101, but they haven't gotten that far yet, lol]
I 100% agree. This is one of the reasons the MCU worked so well up to this point. There was a plan (maybe not known entirely) and they kept to it. Just like with Tony constantly upgrading his suits to counter his past failures. Goddammit, I love these films 😂
Tony upgrading his suit. People ask where the Nano Tech Infinity Gauntlet comes from at the end of the film. But the film sets it up beautifully all the way back to Infinity War. When they meet Thanos minions for the 1st time: He takes off his glasses - and makes a fist with his right hand as the nano tech glasses absorb *into* his armor. _Where'd that come from?_ - Bruce _It's nano tech - you like it?_ - Tony In Endgame he swore he decided to give up and move on - but Morgan finds that he created a new suit - for Pepper. At the end of Endgame - when Hulk is about to 'snap' with the gauntlet - Tony puts an *energy* shield around himself and Hawkeye. This is new. Then Thanos attacked him with the power stone - he had to use nanite shield but when it eroded it allowed the integrity of his armor to be destroyed. He's still...still...trying to figure out how he might have won if he just had the right tech! So now we know when Rocket and Banner and Tony are fitting the stones to the new Infinity Gauntlet - where it came from. But you have to be paying attention. This film *rewards* you for carefully paying attention.😎
When folks say Tony - kind of fell on the grenade in Avengers 1, I think they are missing the essence of the difference between cut the wire, and fall on grenade. Steve Rogers in Captain America didn't just ditch plane with the bombs on board: *He went down WITH the plane.* He literally chose death. When Tony pushed the Nuke thru the portal and fell back to earth, he found a way to win, without dying. He did not push the Nuke into the ship and blow up with it! Effectively Tony - *jumped out* of the plane (or portal in this case) before it exploded. Because that's what Tony would do. Tony's courage was never in question, but his ego and self absorption was in question. What happens if the hero finally can't outsmart the problem and has to choose finally between himself and everyone else. If he can't do that is he really a hero? Steve has the opposite character path. He was always ready to fight and die, as if that was *all* he lived for. *This is what Ultron (and the mind stone) perceived...they saw right thru the façade of the man who isn't afraid of dying, because he is more afraid of living.* To complete himself Steve had to get a life, and Tony has to give his. For the fans who can't deal with actual character arcs - we get it. Yet it's not much of an argument regarding quality of storytelling as Endgame is one of the few of these films that's even worth discussing in terms if examining the choice that the characters make and what that says about them. This film is an *underrated* masterpiece that demands *more* of its audience, instead of asking nothing of them while handing out lollipops of fan service.
So much better than what came after that it's not even funny. It's like comparing Dark Knight - to Snyder Cut. You're like damn really Snyder Bots, you can't plainly see that Nolan can direct and Snyder cannot. Really - you can't see it? lol.
But it's the best only because of the ones before it. If it was a stand-alone, it wouldn't have all the necessary build up that made everyone get attached to the characters and their individual and collective journeys.
End Game also brings home two lines from Avengers that have been hanging in the air for a while. The first is Tony's "Everything special about you came out of a bottle!" line gets shown to not be the case as Cap lifts Mjolnir and proceeds to wreck shop with it. The other line is, possibly, the most important. Cap's line about Tony. "You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play..." Tony's final act, pain coursing through him, guts it out, looks Thanos in the eyes, and delivers his "I am Ironman." line, while undoing Thanos and his army, and sacrificing himself.
I will never forget the ending of infinity war at the midnight showing... As the credits played most of the theater was in stunned silence, but there was about a third left that were split between openly ugly crying, And the other portion trying to put things together...
Yeah, I love that. I was expecting the snap to happen on the next movie. I was not expecting it to be the ending of the first, and after all the tension and build up in the movie leading to that inevitable snap!
I’d also like to point out just how CRAZY the plot actually is. They introduced time travel! Quantum stuff, etc. that in and of itself is really tough to do considering serious of a movie this was. Brand new concepts that they absolutely nailed.
This film had time travel designed by actual physicist advisors. They actually got time travel 'right' in that it is consistent with physics. Most films don't. Since getting it right contradicts 'most films' then that made it controversial also.
Thanks for making this video , this movie deserves a big appreciation. this movie is not just a finale of a saga but also setup and starting of a new saga
They literally got hold of emotions like Tony meeting his dad and Thor meeting his mom & finally cap reuniting with peggy....the trio got a very good memories and inspiration for what they have to do....my fav movie of MCU and of my top 5 movies of all time 🔥
Endgame is probably in my top 3 favorite movies of all time. Despite being 3 hours long, I can go back to it and watch it all the way through or from any point in the movie and it always takes me back to that Thursday night in the theatre with everybody chairing and screaming.
*The soul stone as explained by Marvel* (from MCU wiki) I explained this 5 years ago and a few times since, so now will add a quote directly from Marvel: _The soul stone doesn't recognize its user as being worthy based on their power but more on their understanding of the power the Soul Stone holds, meaning that _*_as long as they have sacrificed someone they loved for the stone and thus fulfilled the requirements, they can use the Soul Stone._* I would only reword it - as saying the soul stone respects spiritual power as opposed to corporeal power. Or - it's about what you are strong enough to give, not strong enough to take. In the context of the film. Thanos sacrifices Gamora to the stone. Banner sacrifices Natasha. Tony sacrifices himself. You can't use the stone without sacrifice.
Infinity War and Endgame were written as really serious movies, that had super heroes in them, that's why every character was respected, taken into consideration and given some purpose to achieve the final goal.
This is why im glad they cut a bunch of the rocket raccoon scenes, like the one making fun of Avengers 1. Out of context they were funny, but they would have undermined the movie.
This is the ONE movie I wish I could see again in theaters for the first time... it came out on my birthday and me and my dad went to go see it, it was remarkable...
There are simply more folks who feel strongly about this film than any other comic book film. That’s a fact. Occasionally dissenters will name some other film - but they don’t really feel strongly about those films, they just don’t want to see *this film* praised so much.
Not just that, but the cinematic experience I got watching this two masterpiece are my unforgettable ones. We all laughed at some jokes, amazed to the visuals, got excited and pumped up to every fight scenes and cried as we saw the sacrifices made by heroes just to save everyone once and for all. Infinity War and Endgame was my 100/10 movie of all time because of having the best cinematic experience I received watching it.
Taking itself seriously is the hallmark of Russo Bros Marvel movies. Winter Soldier is still my favorite MCU movie, and using them for Avengers 3 and 4 was brilliant. Also, I'm glad you touched on Steve doing the therapy, because that's how he met Sam, and then Sam got snapped.
1:00 bro that was deep. Brings me the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. Many wanted to go back to Egypt. It took the next generation of Joshua to get them to the Promise Land.
even after 5 years Endgame and Infinity War are the movies I can watch anytime and they still haven’t loosen any charm, Like all those surprise moments. I can give mostly anything to watch these two movies again the first time.
I think a lot of people overlook Cap talking and helping people through their tough times just the way he met Sam/Falcon. He lost Sam so he's preserving that legacy because Cap has lost a friend before and this is how he maintains and continues.
I love how you literally went into details explaining why thor is the strongest avenger 7:09 . Tbh I love how they changed him but …. Then again stayed him? But the last thor … ruined him… you have to appreciate the masterpiece in avenger saga
I remember walking out of the cinemas close to 3 in the morning thinking, “WOW that’s the best MCU movie ever…” Watched it in cinemas for at least 4 times. Worth every penny.
Man I love your videos. I usually play a lot of videos at 1.5x speed (short attention span) but I always watch your videos at normal to appreciate them better.
I remember I went to watch Endgame in the earliest show possible on release day which was 5 AM because I didn't want it to be spoiled. That's how excited I used to be about Marvel. Now, every time I see a new announcement from Marvel I let out a huge groan and go to a therapy session to have that memory removed.
I can relate. Things I want to unsee: -> Janet Van Dyne, trying to explain how she spent 30 years in the Quantum Realm with EVIL KANG, but couldn't be bothered to tell anyone: [pause for exposition while screen writer throws bullshix at the audience]. -> Dr. Strange in No Way Home actually said this, and i'm quoting: _I’m sorry, but are you telling me, that you didn’t even think to plead your case, before you asked me to brainwash the entire world?_ It's like the writers know the plot is bullshix and are quietly protesting to the audience that Sony left them with no choice but to turn Spiderman into a stupid sit com with an idiot plot. -> Thor Love and Thunder: Look..the whole film is dodo, but this scene.... Thor is fighting Gorr for Storm breaker, a God Level Weapon which is literally made of *Thor + Groot's arm.* The weapon is Thor. Moreso than Mjolnir which is really Odin's weapon enchanted 'for' Thor. Somehow Gorr is just 'stronger than Thor' okay, whatever, but Thor -> LETS GO, of the Hammer. He - just - let - go. _Let's make him into an insta-pussy so we can somehow have Jane Foster wag her dick at the audience._ Sigh, Taiki Waititi + Cocaine = bad combo. Phase 4 and 5 Marvel just sux.
I feel the same too… if Endgame came back in theaters, I would give anything to watch it again bc it was the best theater experience I have ever had. Nowadays, I (mostly) don’t feel anything when watching modern marvel movies in theaters. But hey! Let’s at least hope Deadpool & Wolverine is good
Starting scenes of this video is the starting of final war in endgame and also the last scene when iron man snaps .......A perfect editing for a perfect video
There are also many movies with sequels that fail, because they do the kind of things that Endgame refuses to do. They just repeat the same story. Endgame killed Thanos at the beginning specifically to make ending of Infinity War complete and then - *tell another story.* When Thanos is killed the audience has to accept that the story has moved on- so now you get a story about the Avengers, not Thanos. Moreover it’s an incredible story that completes their story arc, each and every one. And yet the most dull minded fans - think it’s a mistake to kill Thanos because they wanted another 2 hours of the Avengers trying to take the Gauntlet from Thanos, cuz they enjoyed it the last time. 😂 That’s exactly how studio execs think. That’s *why* sequels are usually so bad. Endgame - disrupted all that. It was beautiful.
I agree. Endgame has always been my favorite marvel movie. The four things I would change are these. 1. Professor Hulk 2. Fat Thor 3. I wish we had more screen time of Thanos before he time traveled. 4. Fix the 3v1 against Thanos.
In the original Infinity Gauntlet storyline from the comics: Thanos realizes that once he has the time stone, then any outcome he doesn't like can simply be reversed. In Doctor Strange (MCU film) - Strange realizes that he can stalemate even the God of the Dark Dimension Dormammu, by setting a time 'bomb' which triggers whenever he disconnects from the time stone. (Strange doesn't loop Dormammu in time - watch film again - he *loops himself.* Dormammu loops with him due to causality - which the film understands even if some in the audience do not). This is why the idea that the Avengers should go back in time to when Thanos already has the stones is so daft, so much the produce of too many movies where the hero wins no matter what because they have ridiculous plot armor and the villain is just made stupid. But in Endgame - the villain isn't stupid, and the heroes don't have infinite plot. Hence from film... Steve: _Tony, you faught Thanos, and..._ Tony: _Who told you that? There was no fight, because he's unbeatable._ Tony's despair, his fear, and the fact that the Avengers *cannot* defeat villain and in fact he has no interest even in trying again.... is the truth of the story. It's a place this genre is afraid to go. And it's another reason why this is the best of these stories.
Endgame is just magic. Bringing back everything from the whole batch of superstar characters to combining the scriptures level storylines to keeping the Marvel spirit of fun and seriousness is simply beyond Marvelous. It's pure Magic. The best movie ever made.
Infinity War fans, the above comment shows the difference. Saying “Infinity War is > Endgame” is not the same as saying Infinity War is great. Your semantics reveal that you are less interested in Infinity War being praised than you are upset at Endgame being praised. This is worth noting because one by one - you say the same thing - but don’t see what you are revealing.
I definitely knew it was an amazing achievement right away. I also was blown away by Infinity War's ending immediately. I sat there with my mouth hanging open for like 5 minutes I think lol. I couldn't believe it, it was so unexpected and amazing. I just kept thinking....they actually made an Empire Strikes Back but on a whole 'nother level WOWWW.
You got to see Thor at this most powerful in Infinity War - yet *he lost.* Endgame explores the consequences of that. When the heroes don't face any real consequences, then nothing is at stake. This is what Martin Scorsese was saying. The Russo's - who love Scorsese - actually understand this. Some "fanz' don't. When they get their way you basically end up with a Zack Snyder movie. Which are rightly critically panned, and also don't make money.
*Captain Marvel vs. Thanos* (this fight is underrated) If you watch the fight you can see. Danvers absorbed energy from ship firing at her. (Her power halo grows) She releases the energy within the ship and destroys it. (Her halo diminishes) She tries to get the Gauntlet into the Quantum Tunnel. Thanos weapon triggers an explosion destroying the Quantum Tunnel and the blast and interaction between the Gauntlet knocks the gauntlet out of Carol’s hand and knocks the rest of her team out of the fight. Now Thanos has the Gauntlet! Carol is easily over powered and ragged dolled. Thanos is about to snap - the Avengers are going to lose! But Carol grabs Thanos thumb with one hand (!) and his pinky with the other hand (!) and uses all her might to prevent him from snapping. As Thanos has engaged the Gauntlet and Danvers is holding his hand - > Now the power is coming off the Gauntlet and she is *absorbing it.* Her Power Halo grows. Thanos head butts her to get her to turn the gauntlet loose but she is unphased. Now *Thanos is losing!* Thanos realizes this - he pulls the power stone out of the Gauntlet (diminishing Carols’s power) - he absorbs the damage to his hand which would probably fry any mortal, possibly Carol included. Now Thanos is powered up by the power stone and he one punches Danvers knocking her out of the fight. We don’t see her, or any of Danvers team again until after Tony ends it all by nano snagging the stones, snapping and dying.
Ultimate proof of a film's artistic value is in its longevity under discussion. You won't see this kind of continuing discourse surrounding any other Super Hero film, period.
I think the Marvel writers should see Canadian Lad's videos so that they realize what's been wrong and find motivation from his videos, ensuring that none of their small details go to waste (such as the Thor standing alone details). Even after 5 years, he is willing to do a breakdown of their finest work. I am glad that I have been following Canadian Lad for more than 5 years because he makes us fall in love with Marvel all over again by pointing out what we failed to realize 5 years ago. And he is not giving up on the attitude that Marvel will definitely improve, and I also believe it.
Whereas more recent Marvel films have been forgotten. Try having a forum on No Way Home, nothing to discuss except how Sony's agenda to revive all their old/dead characters required Peter and Strange to be behave like idiots and get Aunt May killed in the process.
There's a great and relatively recent interview with the writers: Script to Screen: AVENGERS ENDGAME with Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (screenwriters) They talk about - all the things they didn't do, because they knew 'fans' were expecting it. Like pick up where IW left off, have the Avengers go to war with Thanos, and for fake/arbitrary reason - this time they win. (sequel - the movie basically) It's clear why they regarded that as so lame, so it's funny when you hear the occasional fanboy whose only idea is to make the lamest possible sequel, where *Hulk has revenge fist fight* with Thanos. I guess that's why fans aren't writers.
I'm so happy i live in this time where i saw iron man 1 for the first time, had it running until the credits unknowing i would see more, to then seeing a Thor teaser. Then movie after movie came out, and the Avengers plotline was born on the big screens, building up over so many movies, and seeing it culminate in infinity war / endgame in an all-time cinematic high. It will never be topped.. it just won't. Some sagas may come close in the future, but infinity / endgame will forever be the greatest culmination of movies every to have exsisted in several lifetimes.
The first five minutes are some of the best writing in the MCU. They immediately establish the tone and stakes of this team, introduce core players such as Tony and Nebula, and fix Infinity War's most critical flaw: the predictability of its ending. We know that because Thanos dusted them, no more lives are lost than in any previous Avengers film, but by destroying the stones, many lives were permanently changed, even in victory.
This is the only MCU that “should” have received a nomination for a screen writing Oscar. Martin Scorsese killed it, when he want off on Marvel while not even seeing the film. Odd thing is - he wasn’t wrong in general about all Hollywood franchise films, they are *mostly* just empty noise, but - not this film. Oh well.
Thor meeting his Mom & Tony meeting his dad, for one last time; that’s a wish every man would die to get. 🔥
I can agree. When my grandma passed one of the fam members said to pull her plug I was mad at that family member but in my grandma's memory I had to let that anger go my brother took it hard and I'm not going to ask him to forgive if he doesn't want to. I've lost more and I won't forgive myself.

The other element about Thor that cannot be understated, is when Mjolnir answers him. He was clinically depressed, and didn't have the emotional spoons to do much of anything... but according to the magic on Mjolnir, that didn't make him unworthy.
That was an *amazing* message to send to those fighting such demons.

Real, but also Jesus is even better.
If you didn’t know, Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :)
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:9-13 KJV
“and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 KJV
If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on UA-cam and a UA-cam channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.*
God Bless :)

....Emotional... Spoons?
@@plzletmebefrank "spoons" are used as a metaphor for energy reserves.
It comes from a story wherein someone with a chronic illness was explaining to her friend what is like to be sick like that, at some diner. The knives and forks from the place settings had been cleared away, so all that were left were the spoons. She grabbed the dozen or so spoons and gave them to her friend, and asked what activities they wanted to do each day, and took away some number for every task, depending on how much energy it took. The friend kinda freaked out when they went from plenty of spoons to very few, and hadn't even gotten to the "have lunch" part of their day.
It was such a useful metaphor, so viscerally understandable, that the meme spread. And now the meme has spread to you
Cap stood alone against Thanos’ army was the very thing he said in The Winter Soldier: “If I’m the only one so be it, but I’m willing to bet I’m not.” And he’s right, soon after all the Avengers showed up.

The first 30 minutes of showing the consequence of Infinity war is what missing now days in every MCU movie. Everyone forgot there is a giant celestial body in the sea lying.
That should have been a big deal
@@jamesparson yes. It is.
I hate how no one touches on what's set up by past movies, back in the old days, many movies touched one what happened in Avengers 1, the entirety of Civil War was consequences of Age of Ultron, Infinity War and Black Panther touches on the aftermath of Civil War, Endgame wraps up Civil Wars story and Steve and Tony's turmoil, there was connectivity, nowadays, let's see here
Doctor Strange and Spiderman break the multiverse, no one cares
The entirety of the Sorcerer's were annihilated, and Wong is watching shows with a random woman, the entire US had a rework and no one gave a shit, half the world was gone for years, and everyone ignores it like it never happened, a dead celestial is laying in the ocean, does anyone mention it? No? Did they atleast mention the giant celestial who showed up in New York and abducted 3 people? Nope! Maybe they atleast picked up on people killing at random because of lack of trust after Skrulls? Were yet to see that but I'm gonna guess not as the world looked fine in Captain Marvel
Everyone keeps saying that it's the writing, yes it's an issue, but the biggest issue with me, is there's no connectivity left in a shared universe, I wanna see one story lead into another, I want to see the end credits be for another movie, not just adding another character who may or may not get a movie in, like, 5 years
They can just keep forgetting about that.
Eternals sucks ass.
@@Στύξ deadpool is about to fix that
A lot of people take the old MCU movies for granted. 23 big-budget movies (most of which were solid entertainment) that contributed to one storyline---just amazing.
Right off hand, I can’t think of any other movie franchise that has done that, so it’s really an historical feat that I really feel will be studied by film/art students for a very long time. I’ve never really nerded out on a franchise or watched its movies over numerous times as I have with the iron man and captain America story line. It’s pretty remarkable what these folks have achieved.
But then after Endgame they turned into the M-She-U and ruined everything. Very few movies since then worth watching.
Spider-Man 3, Guardians 3, and second season of Loki. That's about it. Maybe some of What If.
@@protorhinocerator142both seasons of Loki were great tbh but yeah that, No Way Home and Guardians 3 are the only great projects since Endgame.
It would be study for generations by someone in the future.
I don't think they will be able to create the same experience. The woke culture has ruined it. Now you have to pick a female character for something only would work for a male character and even if they go with a male, instead of picking the right person to play it they have to find a male character with brown/pink/yellow/black/blue/etc color who is not cut out for the role.
To put it simple, instead of picking the right person to play the role we are now focusing on how to please the woke.
I still remember how wild the theatre was with the audience screaming during the avengers assemble scene truly a once in a eternity moment

I wanted to add that track, Portals, to my library immediately.
truly great moment. i regret not knowing much about marvel back then. i just went to watch the movie with a lot of people cause it was a birthday party. even though i knew barely anything about the MCU and all of the superheroes and stuff, i still got goosebumps that day and still do till date on watching the final avengers assemble scene
@@Arhan-c3w 😁 I went with my cousins we even dragged one of our cousin sister who didn't know much about Marvel and she ended up loving it 😂
I never noticed the Thor details were this much meaningful
I’ve noticed Thor standing on the rubble looking at Thanos alone but never understood the deep meaning behind it.
Lad you’re literally the best when to me it comes to details about movies
The deeper meaning behind it could also be that he's at an awe, that the bastad who snapped his brother is sitting right in front of him regarding chopping his head off a few years ago.
The "Avengers Assemble" line by Cap was so impactful that it almost brought me to tears. I applaud the writers for saving that line till the very end of the saga. The theatre at that moment was dead silent, and only Cap spoke. You feel rallied. Like you are actually there. What an experience.
Except they are already assembled, they are literally standing next to him.
I’m almost in tears just thinking about it!
Cap leading a therapy group was a lovely call back to when he met falcon and learned that it's beneficial for both the people in the therapy and the person leading it to heal.
He also had Sam's back when he was gone, and the passed the SHEILD on to Sam when Sam came back.
It was beautiful.
The movie was trash. Time travel aside, everything about the movie was mediocre loser fan service for losers that have no lives.
Infinity War/End Game was the culmination of 11 years and 22 movies of creative freedom, dedicated fans behind the wheels, and seemingly unlimited budgets.
Most of the stuff after seems to be a product of corporate oversight, budget cuts, and oversaturation of the market.
I never thought Marvel would sink as fast and as far as DCU or Star Wars.
I was wrong.

You can't exactly say that marvel is dying. Cause even though phase 4 wasnt the best , it still made history with Spiderman nwh . They also had Loki , Moon Knight , Wakanda Forever , Shang Chi , Wanda vision , Hawkeye and Falcon and the Winter soldier which were great.
Fat Thor was the best thing about End Game. That moment where he calls his hammer, and is surprised when he's still worthy teaches us one of the most powerful lessons we can ever learn in life: It's not your weight or depression that defines worth. It's showing up for the people you care about when they need you.
_the measure of a hero is how well they succeed at being who they are._ - Friga
This would be trite except it is so relevant to the relationship between these characters and their fans.
Thor is worthy because of his heart, not because of his entitlement from Odin, and not his biceps and wash board abs.
Thor on his own was awesome. He went from typical Thor look, went over to modern look, in the end he looks kinda like his father, Nordic braids, big body and goes full ham with the thunder. His last look is the best one.
the best way to phrase it is "do what's right because you're sure it's right."
He is even loosely accurate to Norse Thor
My favorite moment between the two movies " I'm still worthy" . Such a great moment and a very important message.

@@sergiom1136 exactly! Think about it. If we had Stephen McFeely to write Thor 4, it would have saved the film from Taika’z creative freedom
The conversation between Tony and Howard was peak marvel writing as well. That closure was everything to hook everyone up emotionally.
“No amount of money ever bought a second of time”
The scene when Thor says " As long as we're all in agreement" and lightning strikes and thunder claps still gives me chills.
One thing left out about Thor is that he is still almost a child in Asgardian terms. Remember when Eitri says" well done boy". Eitri knew, in Asgardian terms, Thor is still very much young in both strength and wisdom. Asgardian Gods get stronger as they age so this Thor was not yet a match for Thanos. I think there was a comic story where Thor was made to get older by Thanos who did not realize it made Thor stronger, not weaker.
I rarely comment, but this thought has been on my mind for a while.
The best continuation Marvel threw in there was from Avengers 1.
"Everything special about you came from a bottle" Tony replies to Cap in Avengers 1. In Endgame, Cap proves him wrong by picking up Mjolnir
"The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You are not the guy to make the sacrifice play" Cap tells Tony in Avengers 1. Iron Man sacrificing himself in Endgame proved Captain wrong.
Gotta love how they set up those two scenes in Endgame way back in Avengers 1.
Yes, but it has deeper levels than that.
Steve and Tony broke up - during the Civil War.
That in part led to the Avengers defeat.
But in the end both characters learned from the other so....
Tony falls on the grenade (the sacrifice play)
Steve cuts the wire (he gets a life/instead of trying to end his life)
They prove each other wrong - because they *learn* from each other.
It's one of the best character arcs in these kinds of films ever.
Things like Avatar that some confuse for 'good films' - in comparison just make me laugh.
2 of those films and I don't think there are *any* characters, even now.
Jake Skully still a plot armored bro Jughead. Quarzreich SS or whatever his name is, is still a bigoted buffoon.
I mean there's just nothing, no growth, no change, just repeat same shix and collect ticket receipts - because the writing is soo bad.
@@summertyme5748 Damn, Tony laying down on the barbed wire for the whole universe to metaphorically cross to safety.. and Steve being there to know what his friend sacrificed.
And Cap finally getting to live a life is much like cutting the wire instead, and Tony would be happy to know Steve got the chance to do so.
Deep.
Sure, but Iron Man already proved Cap wrong by taking the nuke through the wormhole. Apparently, he proved him wrong twice on that matter.
This is peak fiction and peak writing. It is a shame that no one puts as much dedication to the craft anymore. I wish I could be as skilled as these writers.
@@brawn7828 absolutely and the execution of Endgame was definitely no joke. I was worried about going into the theatre with huge expectations but boy did it deliver. It was nothing short of a marvel no pun intended 😂
It shows how well written the movie is since we never get bored of it. Can watch it forever!❤
I know almost every line of Endgame, still not bored 🤣
Imo endgame gets boring in rewatches. I would rather prefer watching Infinity War multiple times
@@siamagangte me too that’s the best part
Fax i rewatch civil war, infinity war and endgame so much 😂
@@yovi7303 Yeah well infinity war will always be the best Avengers movie for me but can't deny that endgame is also wisely written.
Audibly gasping "yes" in excitement watching the movie and fiercely holding back tears when Tony died. This movie didn't even feel like it was as long as it was when you first saw it. You were so captivated and invested and I loved every minute of it.
I love the last detail you pointed out. "...turns the legs to jelly", When thanos sat down, it literally foreshadow what he said in the beginning. Thank you lad.
Amazing video, never even thought about the 30 minute thing. So many character details you picked up on like Cap going through it all before. This went beyond just hidden details. Really good work mate.
Thank you so much mate. Getting approval from the best among us feels special, thanks for taking the time and watching the video mate.

hands down. and I've seen all the major ones. Scorsese and Spielberg can just cry about it
Cannot agree more
I get chills every time I watch that end "Assemble" scene. Shoot, I got chills just now typing about it.
Infinity War - Endgame is where MCU truly peaked
That's kind of the point, though. Any other result would have been a failure after all those years of build-up.
as long as there are those that remember what was, it will always be those that are unable to accept what can be
that was a line of thanos as we all know , and i truely think infinity/endgame where the best ones by far.
but we also have to accept what can be , what might come.
i know it has been years , and some people maybe dont even enjoy a single one of the new movies.
but i legit think we are abou to see that peak again.
FOR ME: Guardians of the Galaxy 3. & Shang-Chi where exactly what i needed.
i also think loki was peak. Honestly im just waiting to see a good thor & Hulk again , something like Thor 3 , both where so great on that movie.
i will have the hope and patience. im rdy for it ALWAYS
2012-2019 was the best the MCU could offer
Correction: It's when cinema peaked
@@beastboyviv5255peak cinema? Oh, it was good, don't get me wrong. It will be remembered for years to come. But it's not peak cinema.
For all its strength in world building and character growth, the MCU, even at its peak, lacks thematic depth. It doesn't challenge perceptions, it doesn't work with grand ideas, it's not even pushing innovation.
Endgame was the end of a very well crafted narrative, that shines by not dropping any balls through 22 movies with a crazy cast of 30 characters. That is impressive. It's also algorithmic.
NOTHING BEATS MARVEL THAN THEIR OWN MOVIES
😂
Not even Marvel can beat Marvel. They’re passed their peak.
and Secret Wars is gonna break their own records again
All caps
The Marvel then and now is night and day. Not sure what happened but they suck now
Missing old times bro 😢.. all the surprises, excitement, hopes, joys .. I don’t know if we could get those feeling back for MCU in the nearest future.. but I’ll be rooting for them 👍
Bro we will get this feelings again dont worry,,its marvel bro,they will do anything
5 years later and this movie is still fresh in my mind... 5 years... goddamn that time went by so fast I might as well have been snapped into today's time
Covid became our snap period
@@ridhipattnaik4390 not even close, if that was the case billions would be dead till this day. Yet big countries will find a way to exterminate population, like they are doing now with wars.
@@ridhipattnaik4390Yh it always felt like we were affected ourselves
@@ridhipattnaik4390 During Covid I used to say that Cinema died with Endgame. Nothing since has really been as good or motivating enough to go to the theaters for. It's all just so "Meh" now.
Cap was also paying homage to Sam by running the sessions; That was Sam’s job in ‘…Winter Soldier’
Oh, I realised it at the theatre. We witnessed peak cinema, and the MCU, while it will always be fun, will never recapture this perfection.
I regretfully disagree.
No, actually, the MCU will not always be fun.
Disney/Marvel is focusing upon identity politics propaganda to the exclusion of absolutely everything else, including good story creation, good screenwriting, good acting, and good production quality.
Even the most basic things about movie making, like basic continuity, is missing.
The vast majority of screen and streaming productions that have come out of Disney and its divisions have been at best mediocre, and at worst absolutely abysmal failures.
They have destroyed every other franchise they have taken possession of, and they are soon to do it to the “Avengers” franchise as well. At some point, very soon, they will sacrifice the budding “Spider-Man@ franchise upon the altar of “The Message”.
There is nothing enjoyable about that.
@@johntrench 1. If you don't like it, don't watch it. 2. Marvel has ALWAYS been about identity politics. Cap fought in WWII. The Mutants are stand ins for every marginalized group in history starting with the jews. It is what it is.
Go watch DC.
@@BionAvastar3000 no, Marvel has never been this preachy. Well, OK, once in my youth when it got all aware of some of the drugs and in equities, but then it gave us exactly what we were looking for again, entertainment. We had that stuff in our face all the time, we didn’t want it in our face when we were being entertained.
And you have addressed none of the points. They have put identity politics ahead of good story, ahead of character, development, ahead of story. things have come out since endgame have been mediocre at best, most of them far worse than mediocre.
And for the record, I do watch DC. I grew up with both of them, not quite the generation where they started, but not too long after that. And no, the notion that, say, mutants are different than other people that aren’t mutants doesn’t qualify as the same as the identity politics extreme to which they take it now.
So here you go:
One. I get that you apparently like it. That’s your prerogative. It doesn’t change the fact that this is bad material. Bad productions for the cinema, bad productions for the streaming service.
Two. I’m assuming that you “like it”, because you are all about the identity politics. The perennial victim hood, kind of thing. That’s the impression you’re giving. I can see no reason for liking the material that has come out since endgame. None of it has been good, none of it has even been coherent. They used to have people who would ensure consistency between scenes. The people were wearing the same tie they were wearing before, they were holding the same coffee mug they were holding before, etc. They miss on this.
These productions are just going through the motions of being productions. It is the central message, the propaganda, that is meaningful. At least to them. They sacrifice everything else for that. And that just doesn’t work as a movie, or as a streaming show.
Three. Having a message, whether identity, politics, or other, is no excuse for bad storytelling and poor production values. It’s no excuse for flat, two dimensional acting.
Four. The identity politics that you’re siding, is not the same as the identity politics they are vaguely smearing with the characters in these franchises. I’m fighting in World War II does not qualify as “identity politics. Is giving these characters backstory that explains some of their attitudes. That worked in the X-Men, showing Magneto became who he was.
They’re not doing that in these new shows. The race, the gender, the sexual orientation, are not part of the characters backstory. They are the story. Nor the points they are making entirely right. They are simply assuming they’re right. Representation is fine, but they’re not doing diversity and inclusion and equity. They’re simply reversing the discrimination. They’re still excluding.
And the groups that they are representing, to be fair, overrepresented. We’re getting things that emphasize, say, sexual identity. The LGBTQ plus community constitutes approximately 2.2% of the world population according to best census data. Do you want to do diversity, equity, inclusion, equity would require that they be 2.2% of the emphasis. If we want to get technical. But they’re not. They are the emphasis. Women being able to do anything and everything men can do, is the message. And it’s wrong. Men and women are fundamentally different. Two parts of a human species with entirely different roles, entirely different capabilities that they evolved for.
Characters that are being swapped in gender, swapped, which is disrespectful to the material, and disrespectful to the races and genders that are being swapped in. It’s basically, admitting that one has no confidence that these people can stand on their own and support a show. For a while they were going to race swap Superman, to connect back to your “go watch DC “bullshit. There’s no reason to believe that there weren’t shadings of skin on the planet krypton, assuming that we’re going to accept that there’s a planet where the species evolve to look exactly like us, or we exactly like them, even though the odds of that are vanishing small. Small enough to be, on a day-to-day basis, insignificant and inconsequential.
why don’t you think about the material considerate critically, instead of looking through whatever identity politics lens you view the world through currently. Then go back and watch those shows again, this time with your brain engaged.
@@johntrench I agree that it's good to watch shows critically, and there have definitely been some trash comics and shows, (She-hulk in particular springs to mind), but you need to go back and read the comics from the beginning, I mean the really beginning, from the golden age, and tell me that the stories were always peak fiction all the time.
It's always ebbed and flowed, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Don't like it, don't engage. Better yet, make your own media.
@@BionAvastar3000 I don’t think you and I are disagreeing in substance, merely an emphasis.
One place I vehemently disagree with you is the “don’t like it, don’t engage.“ It is perfectly legitimate to engage in criticism and backlash as an audience, along with voting with our feet and our dollars.
I agree with you that it has always been an Ebben flow as well. Unfortunately, we are in a massive. The attack on pop culture, with the sacrifice of production, quality and entertainment value, to focus on the all important biased and extremist sociopolitical and sociosexual narrative and agendas, are a case in point. They are part and parcel of the extremist polarization we see occurring both in our body politic, and in our society is a. That polarization is not healthy. The degeneration of society into further polarized “communities“ based on race, gender, identity, liberal versus moderate versus conservative, politics, etc., is also not a healthy development.
It is perfectly legitimate for fans to impose a negative backlash against production companies, disrespect the franchises they have come to know. It is more appropriate to engage in negative criticism and backlash in response to poor production values, lack of development, poor acting, and SGN language - Intensive attacks on the viewing public for not liking and accepting the propaganda trash that has been coming out recently. For not liking accepting the poor production quality that has been onto theater screens and streaming services and into print media in recent years.
Those are going to continue. I am perfectly content to be a part of them. As for going back and reading the comics, all the way into the past, I’m willing to bet that I am further along in that regard than you are. That’s not as an insult or a negative jab in anyway. I was born in the 1950s, I’m 66 years old, and in my day I have been “privileged“ to read comics from the very beginning (albeit through reprints), and to grow up with “Spider-Man”, “X-Men”, “Fantastic Four”, Star Wars”, “Indiana Jones” and a variety of other franchises, both now within the unfortunate possession of Disney, and from other productions studios, as a contemporary. I think it gives me a bit more unique perspective since I have watched the evolution of a lot of this media, from its legitimate emphasis on quality, broad appeal entertainment that just happens to contain information or plot lines regarding issues of the day, to the current propaganda pieces that present, not only the issues of the day as to the detriment of production quality, acting, and story franchises that are not about those issues, specifically biased and extremist on those issues.
The majority of people don’t want that. That is reflected in the rapid decline in viewership, theater, attendance, ticket sales, comic book, sales, and massive rise in negative criticism and negative backlash.
We live immersed in reality. We seek entertainment outlets to escape, not to have it rammed in our faces, particularly by people who have rather extremist views, many of which are decidedly disconnected from reality in aptly named “social justice warriors“, and the overly fascist censorship and dehumanization and deletion tactics of cancel culture.
None of these trans are efforts to appeal to a “new demographic“, or to bring in an entirely new massive fan base. Those don’t exist. If they did, they would have rushed to support movies like “The Marvels”. They would have been out in force supporting the trailers for the upcoming Disney excretion, “The Acolyte”, which would have been reflected in a decidedly positive ratio of responses to negative instead of the record-breaking negative ratios that both of the trailers received, massive negative race, not the product of a tiny minority, and massive negative ratios against the few ads that have been out. as an aside, I can’t wait to see how the producer/show runner and the president of Lucas film twist and turn and Dodge to avoid accepting personal responsibility and be accountable for the failure of that show, as is highly likely to happen, it fails, even more miserably than the trailers dead. And I can’t wait to see the irrational mental gymnastics they engage in in order to blame it all on a “minority of opinionated fans” that they somehow convinced the vast majority of the viewing to not like their work, something that implies that the vast majority the public are mindless sheep that are easily lead by that minority, but somehow are not responsible equally minority message. Senseless. I can’t wait to see how they twist reality, to what death of delusion they sink, in order to attempt to blame that failure, which may represent anything from mediocre, showing to being an outright bomb, upon men. Particularly, heterosexual white men. Their boogie man of choice.
The manner in which the superhero movies in the Marvel tent were skillfully crafted and connected together, leading up to “Avengers Infinity, War“, and “Avengers Endgame“, was truly masterful. It does represent a high peak in cinema, and establishes a very high bar that Disney Marvel fails to even approach, let alone clear. They’re showing has been even more pathetic and blatantly agenda driven in the Disney Lucas film division and it’s treatment of both. “Indiana Jones” and the “Star Wars” franchises. The failures they have been experiencing provide proof positive that people do not want blatant, extremist agenda, politics in their entertainment. They do not want messages targeted at changing values and attitudes in their children, circumventing their rights as parents, in the entertainment. They want entertainment, high quality, broad based audience appeal, devoid of agenda and narratives instead of saturated with and focused upon them to the exclusion of everything else.
Loud fan/audience, criticism, huge negative backlash, along with voting with feet and dollars, are all legitimate expressions against those things. Telling people to “don’t like it, don’t engage”, “go make your own media” simply won’t cut it. The attacks will go on. And there is some indication that they are having the desired effect.
Please excuse any weird punctuation, bits of weird grammar, and odd, weird choices. I am using the voice recognition function on my iPhone, as I am traveling, to compensate for a hand injury that prevents me from simply typing.
I’m not sure I agree with your statement that the MCU “will never recapture this perfection” either, however, that is not a disagreement specifically with you, as much as it is a statement of hope on my part. I see no reason why, if they focus upon production quality and get out of gender, identity, politics, Disney, LucasFilm, Marvel, and Pixar can’t continue to break new ground and achieve new heights. So that’s not an argument, that’s just the hope.
Addendum: your specific mention of the ill-fated “She Hulk” series is particularly resonated with me. It is also an unfortunate example of the extreme to which people involved in the production, in this case, particularly the actress, will blame the fans, tell them to shut up, tell them that they have to accept what they’re giving, etc., all the witch exhibits, particularly toxic level of overblown, self entitlement, and hubris, as well as an utter disrespect, on not entering into contempt, for the audience. This is what I think is the problem with Disney and its divisions today, and it’s a problem they need to solve in order to achieve any significant level of success. They’re allowing these problems to enter into even the theme park, where they are eliminating things that no one found objectionable, and putting in attractions that attract no one. They appear to be not merely going into damage control, but to be actively seeking someway to backpedal while saving face, which is a sort of positive sign. The reality is, they’re going to have to accept losing some face, they’re going to have to accept the level of disrespect that they have brought upon themselves, in order to be able to, fix the problem that they have caused, and if it’s possible, fix the severe damage, they’ve done to so many of the franchises, so IP they have taken possession of and have all but destroyed.
The characters, the acting, the CGI/VFX, the emotion, the cinematography, the action, the balance of jokes and seriousness, Endgame is still ahead of its time. Really shows just how genius the marvel writers are, back then at least.
didn't u watch the video lolz..it said endgame and infinity war movies were made back to back, as in ONE whole movie cut in 2 , they did NOT wait a year in btween, they already did the TWO movies in one shot!

Facts people forget what This Movie did and they say "it's overrated and it was just fan service" No it was the payoff and culmination of 10 Years and 22 Movies of Storytelling and it was The Most Perfect Ending to The Infinity Saga that I could've ever imagined. One Of The Greatest Comic Book Movies Of All Time.
I agree with the vid too. It doesn't really look overlooked. It's the highest-rated MCU movie on IMDb, 93% of Google users liked the movie; a higher percentage than any other MCU movie, and the people calling it "overrated and just fanservice" are just a vocal minority on social media. So we're lucky that people agree with us. I say it's my favorite comic book movie and I tend to get numerous uplikes.
Endgame was unique in the way that it had no "happy" moments. Most movies follow the same basic pattern. Introduction which can be happy or sad,then the main story which is full of negative emotions with the villain's plan succeeding to some degree or starting to succeed, but then the heroes manage to win and there's a happy ending. Endgame meanwhile started very sad, then the main story had the same mix of successes and defeats but in the end, even though the heroes won, no one is fully happy because we still lost one of the greatest heroes.
There is an emotional maturity in the film which is unusual in the genre.
That’s what earned the respect of so many viewers who otherwise turn their nose up at these kinds of films.
It was so emotional 😢
Good timing for uploading this video, canadian lad👍
It's already 5 years this movie had released & coincidentally infintiy war(2018) & endgame(2023) are set 5 years apart in the movie timeline
one more detail, when thor sees captain and tony taking a step back, he realises that they are afterall humans, and it is his duty to protect them as he is the king of the nine9 realms, so he takes a step forward, as in to protect them from thanos if he attacks them
Another one of my favorite moments from Endgame was just after Thor cuts off Thanos's head.
The walk, the music, him not even daring to look at his friends and just leaving.
That moment truly embodied "The fall of a god". The moment where Thor truly felt that he lost.
Avengers Infinity War has the greates of all time action, story and personality but Avenegers Endgame has the greatest of all time emotions, drama and character development, and that is including the greatest action, story and personality.
These movies set bar so high, that it is near impossible to achieve.
The infinity saga of the MCU is just perfection and the Infinity War and Endgame is a masterpiece. ❤️
*Steve Rogers*
In 1st Avenger: Steve Rogers [pre serum] , tells Peggy about all the fights he's had and lost.
She asks why he kept fighting [why not run away?]
His answer - as a scrawny young man - who had polio as a kid - is that he always had something to prove.
Peggy's reply: _I know something about that._ (as a woman - as opposed to undersized man - who had the heart of a fighter)
When it's suggested that he find himself a girl (try being a lover, and not a fighter all the time) - Steve replies that girls: _terrified him._ Go watch the film again, because some of the Steve stans deny this, cuz they are like little kids and actually share the characters insecurities. lol.
Peggy then coyly says: _Maybe you just have not found the right girl._
And this leads to their romance - in which Steve promises to come back to Peggy.
But in the climatic final scenes of the film - *He breaks his promise.*
Steve choses to go down with the ship - to finally realize his goal of dying a hero, and thereby SKIRTING the one thing *he stated* he truly feared....girls. Love.
Can't be overstated: He didn't just prevent the plane from hurting others...he could have jumped out...nope HE WENT DOWN WITH THE PLANE. He "died/not/died" - *rather than* risk going back to Peggy. Talk about standing up a date! lol.
[it's Peggy *not Bucky* that he broke his promise to - but again Steve and Bucky stans view the film as 12 year old boys would and they completely ignore all of the above because the 'girl' from their perspective is just getting in the way of the Batman and Robin comic book for little boys....they are trying to sustain in their heads]
In Age of Ultron - Ultron calls Steve out, and understands his story - better than many people writing in these forums:
_Aaaagh! Captain America. God's righteous man. Pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..._
Mind Stone enhanced Ultron gets it. And so does Steve - when Wanda hexes him and see's the life he ran away from....
_Are you ready for our dance? The war is over Steve? _We can go home now!_ - Peggy
When Steve travels back in time - he sees that Peggy never did forget him - never got over him.
He realizes their love is mutual - and timeless. *He can go home now.*
When he travels back in time and returns the stones, he then makes the choice that is opposite of his 1st Avenger choice.
He choses the lover this time - over the soldier. He choses Peggy *over* Captain America [again unacceptable to 12 year old boys, but the film is written for adults].
In doing so he also answers the Challenge that Tony 1st put to him: *To get a life.*
To try cutting the wire for once - instead of trying forever to fall on the grenade.
Stop being afraid of living, and so trying to give your life - and *get a life* instead.
And it was beautiful.
In so doing Steve Rogers completes his character arc, [some 'fans' don't even get that character arc implies change due to the narrative- not repetition despite the narrative.
Just writing 101, but they haven't gotten that far yet, lol]
I 100% agree. This is one of the reasons the MCU worked so well up to this point. There was a plan (maybe not known entirely) and they kept to it. Just like with Tony constantly upgrading his suits to counter his past failures. Goddammit, I love these films 😂
Tony upgrading his suit.
People ask where the Nano Tech Infinity Gauntlet comes from at the end of the film.
But the film sets it up beautifully all the way back to Infinity War.
When they meet Thanos minions for the 1st time:
He takes off his glasses - and makes a fist with his right hand as the nano tech glasses absorb *into* his armor.
_Where'd that come from?_ - Bruce
_It's nano tech - you like it?_ - Tony
In Endgame he swore he decided to give up and move on - but Morgan finds that he created a new suit - for Pepper.
At the end of Endgame - when Hulk is about to 'snap' with the gauntlet - Tony puts an *energy* shield around himself and Hawkeye. This is new.
Then Thanos attacked him with the power stone - he had to use nanite shield but when it eroded it allowed the integrity of his armor to be destroyed.
He's still...still...trying to figure out how he might have won if he just had the right tech!
So now we know when Rocket and Banner and Tony are fitting the stones to the new Infinity Gauntlet - where it came from.
But you have to be paying attention.
This film *rewards* you for carefully paying attention.😎
When folks say Tony - kind of fell on the grenade in Avengers 1, I think they are missing the essence of the difference between cut the wire, and fall on grenade.
Steve Rogers in Captain America didn't just ditch plane with the bombs on board: *He went down WITH the plane.*
He literally chose death.
When Tony pushed the Nuke thru the portal and fell back to earth, he found a way to win, without dying.
He did not push the Nuke into the ship and blow up with it! Effectively Tony - *jumped out* of the plane (or portal in this case) before it exploded. Because that's what Tony would do.
Tony's courage was never in question, but his ego and self absorption was in question.
What happens if the hero finally can't outsmart the problem and has to choose finally between himself and everyone else. If he can't do that is he really a hero?
Steve has the opposite character path. He was always ready to fight and die, as if that was *all* he lived for. *This is what Ultron (and the mind stone) perceived...they saw right thru the façade of the man who isn't afraid of dying, because he is more afraid of living.* To complete himself Steve had to get a life, and Tony has to give his.
For the fans who can't deal with actual character arcs - we get it.
Yet it's not much of an argument regarding quality of storytelling as Endgame is one of the few of these films that's even worth discussing in terms if examining the choice that the characters make and what that says about them.
This film is an *underrated* masterpiece that demands *more* of its audience, instead of asking nothing of them while handing out lollipops of fan service.
Dude no need to write entire book
Good films inspire that.
Lad is Back to Consistency ❤️🔥
still the best avengers in the entire timeline.. still get goosebumps 🌀✨
So much better than what came after that it's not even funny.
It's like comparing Dark Knight - to Snyder Cut.
You're like damn really Snyder Bots, you can't plainly see that Nolan can direct and Snyder cannot. Really - you can't see it? lol.
But it's the best only because of the ones before it. If it was a stand-alone, it wouldn't have all the necessary build up that made everyone get attached to the characters and their individual and collective journeys.
No cap
End Game also brings home two lines from Avengers that have been hanging in the air for a while. The first is Tony's "Everything special about you came out of a bottle!" line gets shown to not be the case as Cap lifts Mjolnir and proceeds to wreck shop with it. The other line is, possibly, the most important. Cap's line about Tony. "You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play..." Tony's final act, pain coursing through him, guts it out, looks Thanos in the eyes, and delivers his "I am Ironman." line, while undoing Thanos and his army, and sacrificing himself.
I will never forget the ending of infinity war at the midnight showing...
As the credits played most of the theater was in stunned silence, but there was about a third left that were split between openly ugly crying, And the other portion trying to put things together...
I cried like a child when watching it at the cinema, and even today, I cry when watching simple excerpts. 🎥😢
Yeah, I love that. I was expecting the snap to happen on the next movie. I was not expecting it to be the ending of the first, and after all the tension and build up in the movie leading to that inevitable snap!

I’d also like to point out just how CRAZY the plot actually is. They introduced time travel! Quantum stuff, etc. that in and of itself is really tough to do considering serious of a movie this was. Brand new concepts that they absolutely nailed.
This film had time travel designed by actual physicist advisors. They actually got time travel 'right' in that it is consistent with physics. Most films don't. Since getting it right contradicts 'most films' then that made it controversial also.
Thanks for making this video , this movie deserves a big appreciation. this movie is not just a finale of a saga but also setup and starting of a new saga

It’s in my top three fav movies too! It’s my favorite marvel movie and third fav with Jurassic Park in second and the LOTR trilogy in first
Thor got his revenge , cap got his life and Tony got his peace , sounds incredible for one movie.
*The soul stone as explained by Marvel* (from MCU wiki)
I explained this 5 years ago and a few times since, so now will add a quote directly from Marvel:
_The soul stone doesn't recognize its user as being worthy based on their power but more on their understanding of the power the Soul Stone holds, meaning that _*_as long as they have sacrificed someone they loved for the stone and thus fulfilled the requirements, they can use the Soul Stone._*
I would only reword it - as saying the soul stone respects spiritual power as opposed to corporeal power.
Or - it's about what you are strong enough to give, not strong enough to take.
In the context of the film.
Thanos sacrifices Gamora to the stone.
Banner sacrifices Natasha.
Tony sacrifices himself.
You can't use the stone without sacrifice.
Infinity War and Endgame were written as really serious movies, that had super heroes in them, that's why every character was respected, taken into consideration and given some purpose to achieve the final goal.
This is why im glad they cut a bunch of the rocket raccoon scenes, like the one making fun of Avengers 1. Out of context they were funny, but they would have undermined the movie.
I'm glad that was a deleted scene bc it felt corny
This is the ONE movie I wish I could see again in theaters for the first time... it came out on my birthday and me and my dad went to go see it, it was remarkable...
I agree.. it’s literally my favorite comic book movie and I would time travel back to 2019 to experience this again.
There are simply more folks who feel strongly about this film than any other comic book film. That’s a fact.
Occasionally dissenters will name some other film - but they don’t really feel strongly about those films, they just don’t want to see *this film* praised so much.
Not just that, but the cinematic experience I got watching this two masterpiece are my unforgettable ones. We all laughed at some jokes, amazed to the visuals, got excited and pumped up to every fight scenes and cried as we saw the sacrifices made by heroes just to save everyone once and for all.
Infinity War and Endgame was my 100/10 movie of all time because of having the best cinematic experience I received watching it.
Taking itself seriously is the hallmark of Russo Bros Marvel movies. Winter Soldier is still my favorite MCU movie, and using them for Avengers 3 and 4 was brilliant.
Also, I'm glad you touched on Steve doing the therapy, because that's how he met Sam, and then Sam got snapped.
1:00 bro that was deep. Brings me the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. Many wanted to go back to Egypt. It took the next generation of Joshua to get them to the Promise Land.
That story is faker than this comic book movie
@@mactallica9293 check out some historical documents like Egypt and other groups 💁♀️
even after 5 years Endgame and Infinity War are the movies I can watch anytime and they still haven’t loosen any charm, Like all those surprise moments. I can give mostly anything to watch these two movies again the first time.
I think a lot of people overlook Cap talking and helping people through their tough times just the way he met Sam/Falcon. He lost Sam so he's preserving that legacy because Cap has lost a friend before and this is how he maintains and continues.
beautifully narrated, without skipping the minute details. great video.
I love how you literally went into details explaining why thor is the strongest avenger 7:09 . Tbh I love how they changed him but …. Then again stayed him? But the last thor … ruined him… you have to appreciate the masterpiece in avenger saga
I remember walking out of the cinemas close to 3 in the morning thinking, “WOW that’s the best MCU movie ever…” Watched it in cinemas for at least 4 times. Worth every penny.
Man I love your videos. I usually play a lot of videos at 1.5x speed (short attention span) but I always watch your videos at normal to appreciate them better.
I couldn’t agree more. I enjoy seeing my childhood comic book characters come to life, and the culmination of the Endgame movie is a dream come true.
I remember I went to watch Endgame in the earliest show possible on release day which was 5 AM because I didn't want it to be spoiled. That's how excited I used to be about Marvel.
Now, every time I see a new announcement from Marvel I let out a huge groan and go to a therapy session to have that memory removed.
I can relate.
Things I want to unsee:
-> Janet Van Dyne, trying to explain how she spent 30 years in the Quantum Realm with EVIL KANG, but couldn't be bothered to tell anyone: [pause for exposition while screen writer throws bullshix at the audience].
-> Dr. Strange in No Way Home actually said this, and i'm quoting: _I’m sorry, but are you telling me, that you didn’t even think to plead your case, before you asked me to brainwash the entire world?_
It's like the writers know the plot is bullshix and are quietly protesting to the audience that Sony left them with no choice but to turn Spiderman into a stupid sit com with an idiot plot.
-> Thor Love and Thunder: Look..the whole film is dodo, but this scene.... Thor is fighting Gorr for Storm breaker, a God Level Weapon which is literally made of *Thor + Groot's arm.*
The weapon is Thor. Moreso than Mjolnir which is really Odin's weapon enchanted 'for' Thor.
Somehow Gorr is just 'stronger than Thor' okay, whatever, but Thor -> LETS GO, of the Hammer.
He - just - let - go.
_Let's make him into an insta-pussy so we can somehow have Jane Foster wag her dick at the audience._
Sigh, Taiki Waititi + Cocaine = bad combo.
Phase 4 and 5 Marvel just sux.
I feel the same too… if Endgame came back in theaters, I would give anything to watch it again bc it was the best theater experience I have ever had. Nowadays, I (mostly) don’t feel anything when watching modern marvel movies in theaters. But hey! Let’s at least hope Deadpool & Wolverine is good
I totally agree with you. Endgame is my favorite comic-book movie of all time.
Same
Starting scenes of this video is the starting of final war in endgame and also the last scene when iron man snaps .......A perfect editing for a perfect video
Infinity Wars + Endgame is how you do a 2-part storytelling right.
So many part 1 movies are just boring world settings before the actions happen.
There are also many movies with sequels that fail, because they do the kind of things that Endgame refuses to do.
They just repeat the same story.
Endgame killed Thanos at the beginning specifically to make ending of Infinity War complete and then - *tell another story.*
When Thanos is killed the audience has to accept that the story has moved on- so now you get a story about the Avengers, not Thanos.
Moreover it’s an incredible story that completes their story arc, each and every one.
And yet the most dull minded fans - think it’s a mistake to kill Thanos because they wanted another 2 hours of the Avengers trying to take the Gauntlet from Thanos, cuz they enjoyed it the last time. 😂
That’s exactly how studio execs think. That’s *why* sequels are usually so bad.
Endgame - disrupted all that. It was beautiful.
I agree. Endgame has always been my favorite marvel movie. The four things I would change are these.
1. Professor Hulk
2. Fat Thor
3. I wish we had more screen time of Thanos before he time traveled.
4. Fix the 3v1 against Thanos.
Never cease to enjoy your content. Thank you for this!
I can't believe it has been 5 years that the MCU is Dead.
I really enjoy your viewpoints, it' gives us additional meaning towards something I have already enjoyed so much.
In the original Infinity Gauntlet storyline from the comics: Thanos realizes that once he has the time stone, then any outcome he doesn't like can simply be reversed.
In Doctor Strange (MCU film) - Strange realizes that he can stalemate even the God of the Dark Dimension Dormammu, by setting a time 'bomb' which triggers whenever he disconnects from the time stone.
(Strange doesn't loop Dormammu in time - watch film again - he *loops himself.* Dormammu loops with him due to causality - which the film understands even if some in the audience do not).
This is why the idea that the Avengers should go back in time to when Thanos already has the stones is so daft, so much the produce of too many movies where the hero wins no matter what because they have ridiculous plot armor and the villain is just made stupid.
But in Endgame - the villain isn't stupid, and the heroes don't have infinite plot.
Hence from film...
Steve: _Tony, you faught Thanos, and..._
Tony: _Who told you that? There was no fight, because he's unbeatable._
Tony's despair, his fear, and the fact that the Avengers *cannot* defeat villain and in fact he has no interest even in trying again.... is the truth of the story.
It's a place this genre is afraid to go. And it's another reason why this is the best of these stories.
Cap: Avengers, assemble.
Thor: ROAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Man! I had goosebumps.
Same
Endgame is just magic. Bringing back everything from the whole batch of superstar characters to combining the scriptures level storylines to keeping the Marvel spirit of fun and seriousness is simply beyond Marvelous. It's pure Magic. The best movie ever made.
Infinity War fans, the above comment shows the difference.
Saying “Infinity War is > Endgame” is not the same as saying Infinity War is great.
Your semantics reveal that you are less interested in Infinity War being praised than you are upset at Endgame being praised.
This is worth noting because one by one - you say the same thing - but don’t see what you are revealing.
Oh, we realized it then. Immediately.
Perfect video. I never caught that Thanos premonition about his defeat.
I definitely knew it was an amazing achievement right away. I also was blown away by Infinity War's ending immediately. I sat there with my mouth hanging open for like 5 minutes I think lol. I couldn't believe it, it was so unexpected and amazing. I just kept thinking....they actually made an Empire Strikes Back but on a whole 'nother level WOWWW.
ASSEMBLE
This video made me fall in love with this movie all over again.
Same
That moment when he said AVENGERS ASSEMBLE is one of the most iconic moments in Film history i get chills every time
To this day both infinity war and endgame especially are my absolute favourite movies
I recently lost my dad, now I know what I would do to see my dad again just like how Tony met stark senior one last time in Avengers Endgame.
"... and we failed to realize it." Nope, I think it was very clear. It hit hard on release day, and every time after.
6:14 Thor will Aim for the Head once there is an opportunity. He needs to be nerfed, that's why made him like that.
You got to see Thor at this most powerful in Infinity War - yet *he lost.*
Endgame explores the consequences of that.
When the heroes don't face any real consequences, then nothing is at stake.
This is what Martin Scorsese was saying.
The Russo's - who love Scorsese - actually understand this.
Some "fanz' don't. When they get their way you basically end up with a Zack Snyder movie.
Which are rightly critically panned, and also don't make money.
@@summertyme5748 He was late because Mjol is broken
*Captain Marvel vs. Thanos* (this fight is underrated)
If you watch the fight you can see.
Danvers absorbed energy from ship firing at her. (Her power halo grows)
She releases the energy within the ship and destroys it. (Her halo diminishes)
She tries to get the Gauntlet into the Quantum Tunnel.
Thanos weapon triggers an explosion destroying the Quantum Tunnel and the blast and interaction between the Gauntlet knocks the gauntlet out of Carol’s hand and knocks the rest of her team out of the fight.
Now Thanos has the Gauntlet!
Carol is easily over powered and ragged dolled.
Thanos is about to snap - the Avengers are going to lose!
But Carol grabs Thanos thumb with one hand (!) and his pinky with the other hand (!) and uses all her might to prevent him from snapping.
As Thanos has engaged the Gauntlet and Danvers is holding his hand - > Now the power is coming off the Gauntlet and she is *absorbing it.*
Her Power Halo grows.
Thanos head butts her to get her to turn the gauntlet loose but she is unphased.
Now *Thanos is losing!*
Thanos realizes this - he pulls the power stone out of the Gauntlet (diminishing Carols’s power) - he absorbs the damage to his hand which would probably fry any mortal, possibly Carol included.
Now Thanos is powered up by the power stone and he one punches Danvers knocking her out of the fight.
We don’t see her, or any of Danvers team again until after Tony ends it all by nano snagging the stones, snapping and dying.
Its been five years and it still blows our mind. A true Masterpiece!
Ultimate proof of a film's artistic value is in its longevity under discussion.
You won't see this kind of continuing discourse surrounding any other Super Hero film, period.
Yea
I think the Marvel writers should see Canadian Lad's videos so that they realize what's been wrong and find motivation from his videos, ensuring that none of their small details go to waste (such as the Thor standing alone details). Even after 5 years, he is willing to do a breakdown of their finest work.
I am glad that I have been following Canadian Lad for more than 5 years because he makes us fall in love with Marvel all over again by pointing out what we failed to realize 5 years ago. And he is not giving up on the attitude that Marvel will definitely improve, and I also believe it.
Agree. Also they should read some of the comments, there are some nice feedback
Blows my mind that "end game" came out 5 years ago. Such a classic that it feels timeless
Whereas more recent Marvel films have been forgotten.
Try having a forum on No Way Home, nothing to discuss except how Sony's agenda to revive all their old/dead characters required Peter and Strange to be behave like idiots and get Aunt May killed in the process.
I agree
The fact i watch both of these movies after some while shows that i love em
The fact that Avengers Endgame was 5 years ago is frightening
There's a great and relatively recent interview with the writers:
Script to Screen: AVENGERS ENDGAME with Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (screenwriters)
They talk about - all the things they didn't do, because they knew 'fans' were expecting it.
Like pick up where IW left off, have the Avengers go to war with Thanos, and for fake/arbitrary reason - this time they win.
(sequel - the movie basically)
It's clear why they regarded that as so lame, so it's funny when you hear the occasional fanboy whose only idea is to make the lamest possible sequel, where *Hulk has revenge fist fight* with Thanos.
I guess that's why fans aren't writers.
I love your face. Thanks for the content. Now I have to watch Endgame again
I'm so happy i live in this time where i saw iron man 1 for the first time, had it running until the credits unknowing i would see more, to then seeing a Thor teaser. Then movie after movie came out, and the Avengers plotline was born on the big screens, building up over so many movies, and seeing it culminate in infinity war / endgame in an all-time cinematic high. It will never be topped.. it just won't. Some sagas may come close in the future, but infinity / endgame will forever be the greatest culmination of movies every to have exsisted in several lifetimes.
The first five minutes are some of the best writing in the MCU. They immediately establish the tone and stakes of this team, introduce core players such as Tony and Nebula, and fix Infinity War's most critical flaw: the predictability of its ending. We know that because Thanos dusted them, no more lives are lost than in any previous Avengers film, but by destroying the stones, many lives were permanently changed, even in victory.
This is the only MCU that “should” have received a nomination for a screen writing Oscar.
Martin Scorsese killed it, when he want off on Marvel while not even seeing the film.
Odd thing is - he wasn’t wrong in general about all Hollywood franchise films, they are *mostly* just empty noise, but - not this film.
Oh well.
