My FIRST TIME Watching AVENGERS: ENDGAME!! (Part Two) - Фільми й анімація
Thanks for checking out the reactions guys! I love y’all 3000!
No thank YOU sir! I've been waiting for your reactions to scenes in this ever since you started this journey! It's been wonderful reliving that first experience of the MCU through you!
hope you'll react to the marvel series stuff aswell, wanda vision, cpt. america and the winter soldier etc.
You have no idea how much joy it has been to watch you discover these films. I hope to continue watching as you explore the rest of the universe
SKIP THE DISNEY PLUS SHOWS! They really suck!
Watch the series of Marvel now
Just to clarify something that a lot of reactors seem to be confused about regarding the "worthiness" and Thor's weapons: The reason you have to be "worthy" to hold Mjolnir (Thor's hammer) is because in the first Thor movie Odin cast a powerful spell on it. Part of this spell was also: "whoever wields this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the powers of thor." That's how Cap was able to use lightning and stuff and because he was worthy he was able to pick it up in the first place. Stormbreaker (Thor's axe) on the other hand, has no such spell, and therefore one doesn't have to be worthy to pick it up, they just have to be strong (Because it's made out of a very heavy metal that only people with enhanced strength can lift). So you'll notice that while Thanos never touches Thor's hammer (Because he would be unable to lift it) he can pick up Thor's axe because he's simply strong enough to lift it.
THANK YOU!!!
I was going to point that out, so thank you for doing it so eloquently!
same here
I love that details like this remain true throughout all of the movies and lore. They do such a great job with continuity.
I mean thanos could be worthy from a perspective that everything he was doing was not for himself. He had an ego sure but a deserved one.
Thor's "I KNEW it" is a fantastic touch, going from feeling insecure and threatened that Cap might be worthy in an earlier movie, to celebrating that his friend is worthy too. Character arc in just three words.
I think I know why you like Cap. 🤭

I recently saw a meme that brought up another sub plot that was finished during endgame. that both Cap and Tony, in the end, prove each other’s initial assessment of each other wrong.
“You’re a lab experiment Rogers. Anything special about you came out of a bottle!”
Yet Cap proves he’s more than just his super human abilities when he’s worthy enough to lift Mjolnir. (Stormbreaker has no such enchantment btw, that’s why Thanos could grab and use it)
“Big man in a suit of armor; take that off and what are you….the only thing you really fight for is yourself. You’re not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you.”
Then Tony is given the chance to do the ultimate sacrifice play when Strange tells him that it was time for their ☝️one way to win, and he takes it…Like A Boss!
@Hesh Hesherson "Cap is Cap regardless, that never changed".
Tell me you forgot about Civil war without telling me you forgot about Civil war.
I remember seeing an interview with Chris Evans not longer after Endgame was released. He said when his mum saw him as 'old cap' she burst into tears because Chris was the spitting image if her late father
Now I’m crying again
It kills me that Tony made the ultimate sacrifice knowing he wouldn't make it now that he has Morgan. He had everything, pepper a kid and a happy life. Losing 3 of the og characters sucked hard but Tony hit me hardest.
Yeh agreed. Tony and Nat were the two characters that had the biggest redemption imo. It made you root only the best for them... this movie is awesome but their deaths are the first thing i remember when someone says Endgame 😭
Tony was only able to do it because of his dad. His dad made him realize that he was only ever being selfish in anything he did. He put his dad’s nightmare to rest, saved the universe, and protected what he cherished most dearly, his family.
That line "We'll be fine, you can rest now" hits so damn hard.
It does
Especially when you remember her "But will you be able to rest?" line she tells him earlier
yesss 💔🥺🥺🥺 I remember watching that in the cinema and seeing grown *ss man crying like babies
🥺😢😭
I’m not the type of guy to cry watching movies. But that one with “I love you 3000” get me every time 😭
One single word created the climax that everyone had been waiting years for and after having it teased over and over the theaters exploded when Cap said "Assemble"!
Ooooooooh man. I'll never forget that moment. My theater blew up. It was a party. 🎉🥳
sounds like such a cool moment to have seen in theaters
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault you NEED to see reactions to that and to Thor in Infinity, around the world. Especially in India. Awesome reactions bro! Cheers from Paris
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault it was, it was SO awesome, I went twice
And I made sure to see this movie on opening Thursday night to get as packed a crowd as possible.
I've always had this theory that Bucky, on some level, knew exactly what would happen. "You're taking all the stupid with you," and he doesn't look worried when Cap is missing. He just looks a little sad. He also looks exactly at where Cap is sitting. I feel like he knew and maybe saying that "you're taking all the stupid with you" was Bucky telling Cap it was ok, like he could read what Steve was gonna do
He knew Steve wasn’t coming back. It’s confirmed in FATWS that he and Steve talked about it beforehand.
@@NeverendingTori really? I guess I missed that part. But it's been my theory since the movie came out. People are so upset about it, saying Steve betrayed him, but I never saw it that way. Bucky isn't the type to hold a grudge like that either.
@@C0deB1u3 Even here in Endgame, Bucky says "I'm gonna miss you, pal." clearly evidencing that he knew of Steve's plan
Oh yeah, Steve told him... No way he would have left without telling him, plus Bucky clarified that in the show with he and Falcon
100% i said that the second he said it in the theatre. We all knew he wasn't coming back to stay with Peggy. Well it was pretty obvious to me.
the kid at Tonys funeral you didn't know is the inventor kid that helped him out in one of the previous movies. I forget which one. Tony pimped out the kids workshop at the end.
Iron Man 3, he was the kid Harley
@@RobinTimDrakeI hope he plays Ironman at some point.
Watching this movie in the theater during the very first showing available for me was a moment I'll remember for the rest of my life. 40ish people cheering, laughing, and crying. The "Avengers Assemble" moment was the loudest I've ever heard a theater.
Try it with 200 people. No video replay will come close. Alex needs to find some of the theater reaction videos out there.
Same. I took off work and was sitting with THE best crowd for infinity war and Endgame respectively. Best movie going experiences I've ever had.
@@whoaskedforthis8320 It came out on my birthday and had a group of 9 other friends and family member go with me to the movie to celebrate. Even the ones that aren't fans of Marvel really enjoyed the movie.
That portals scene was like a once in a lifetime movie going experience
Yup theater was an experience with this film for sure. But she it still get chills and cry watching a reaction video to it after having seen it tons of times. And I don’t cry in movies. I can count on one hand the times I’ve cried during a movie .
This movie has maybe the most perfect image in any superhero movie ever: Steve Rogers, standing alone on a battlefield against Thanos and his entire army, ready to keep fighting. Nothing has ever summed up a superhero in a movie better than that one shot.
Yep, always loved that shot. Cap knew he had no chance, but he didn't care, he had to try. He was never gonna give up.
That's Cap's real super power, his will to do whatever it takes
@@brianlujan7089 He's one of those superheroes whose "superhero" name isn't his superhero identity. Steve Rogers was always a guy willing to fight bullies and do whatever it takes to do what is right, and Captain America was just the propaganda placed on him. That's why I love in Infinity War, when he meets Groot, he says "I am Steve Rogers." Captain America is just a costume. Steve was always a hero, the serum just made him super.
Yeah but he's a white male hero so he's basically Hitler and also a virgin so not worth as much as a normal human being according to She-Hulk.
"I can do this all day."
Lol don't disrespect Mantis. 😂 Remember, she's the only character who was able to hold down Ego, a celestial, and Thanos, a Titan, with 5 infinity stones. If anyone is deserving of op respect, it's Mantis. Anywho, I've thoroughly enjoyed binging thru your MCU reactions. Can't wait to see you react to more, especially Shang Chi.
It really has nothing to do with mantis it’s just the fact that she looks like a bug and he has a problem with bugs 🐜
But yeah, mantis is awesome
@@sarickacampbell2642he looks like a bug fr he can't be talking
Only 4 stones.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Yes, I just posted another comment myself supporting Mantis!
Mantis doesn't deserve any slander!
there were so many great callbacks in this film 😊 i think my favorites are:
1 - Falcon’s “on your left” in Cap’s earpiece, mirroring the morning run where he met Cap in Winter Soldier
2 - Wasp making fun of Ant-Man for calling Captain America “Cap” in their 2nd film and then calling him “Cap” during the battle herself
3 - Black Panther saying to Hawkeye “Clint… give it to me” during the gauntlet relay after their meeting in Civil War where Hawkeye said “hi, I’m Clint” and T’challa responded “I don’t care.” So great.
Aside from the callbacks my favorite bit was the interaction between Steve, Bucky, and Sam near the end. Sebastian Stan’s acting there was so subtly beautiful… you could see in his eyes and hear in the tone of his voice when they said goodbye that he knew Steve wasn’t coming back. Then the look and nod to Sam nudging him over to old Steve? It showed so brilliantly that he knew what was coming and was giving Sam his blessing to take the shield 💜
Yep. Bucky knew and also the callback to the first captain movie when he leaves for the war and tells Steve not to do anything stupid till he gets back. "How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you." Nobody knew Steve better than bucky and he had a feeling that Steve was gonna go get that dance with Peggy
Can you please tell me,where is Captain Marvel at this whole time... Idont get it!
@@Stebin_Athiyalil she literally said at the beginning of the movie that there are a lot more planets than just earth… people/aliens are suffering everywhere too. She’s been off helping those worlds
One of mine is at the funeral Morgan said she wanted cheeseburgers a call back to the first Iron Man movie
Mine is 100% when in Infinity war Thor said “You should’ve aimed for the head” before he used the time stone to reverse time and win the fight. Then in the beginning of Endgame when they ask Thor why he killed Thanos, he says “I went for the head.” The disappointment in his voice was heartbreaking because even though he got the kill, he knew it was too late.
No matter how many times I've seen the movie, when seeing Nat sacrifices herself & Tony gives his life to save the universe always leads to me crying. The saga was so beautifully wrapped up for most major characters but also introduced the cause of problems the next phases are based around. This movie is nothing less than a masterpiece that will probably will end up never get surpassed by any of the ones to come
No it won't get surpassed... Have you seen the level of quality that went down in phase 4!
exactly this.
and Tonys "selfishness" of not wanting to give up what he got during the time after the dusting, aka not "removing" his daughter but just bring back everyone who got dusted, probably caused more problems throughout the whole universe than the dusting itself caused.
sure everyone is happy that everyone is back but think about this: your wife/husband gets dusted, you grief for a while, get back to "normal" life, meet someone new and fall in love again, get married to that new person and then all of a sudden your old significant other is back and for them its like nothing happened.
or you move into a nice house or apartment and suddenly the old tenants are back.
Half the Universe population is gone, the other half deals with it, less resources are used but also less food is produced etc, less energy needs to be produced. and then everyone is back and you IMMEDIATLY need to ramp up production again... puts a massive strain on everything..
creates SO many problems and i am glad that Falcon & The Winter Soldier series picks up on that.
they should do a non-superhero marvel series that deals with all these issues, maybe an anthology show where every episodes handles a different aspect of the problem of the Blip.
@@IH8YH Yeah man, but why don't we talk about the fact that Falcon and the winter soldier tries to picture the girl who blew up the building with people in it justified, yet if the same is done by people in Afghanistan or Iraq it's called terrorism? You don't see the fact they tried justify terrorism?
@@HumourusLAV See this is the problem, people like you not liking Phase 4 because you think it's supposed to mirror Phase 3. Phase 4 is just Phase 1 of a brand new arc (The Secret Wars arc), these movies were never meant to be on the same level as Infinity War and Endgame. You can't compare them until we're in Phase 6 for Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars (and even then they don't have to surpass IW and EG, just do justice for what's was built towards it). Phase 4's quality has been fantastic for what it is...laying the ground work for something new.
@@IH8YH For your information, Tony's 'Selfishness' can be looked at it in 2 ways, remember when Thanos came back and Tony told "When you mess with time it tends to mess back with you"? Also he created the damn time machine! He had guilt that Peter died but he had a family going, He loved his daughter too! If he was really that selfish, why would he build the damn time machine in the first place... Nobody is gonna willingly give up their family, I don't know what was your childhood story, but If I was in Tony's position, I won't give up my family for anything... Also he didn't think twice before snapping Thanos out of existence... The gauntlet was in the hands of many people... Black panther, Captain Marvel, Spiderman... Why didn't they snap Thanos.... Don't f-ing call him selfish for choosing the obvious
Every. Single. Swing, Thor was going for the head. Love that little easy to miss change from Infinity War.
Thanos: “You should have gone for the head!”
Thor: Bet.
Thor's arc was so incredible and painful to watch. His most recent movie didn't do it justice
oooh
@@sattymike0155at least loki made it up for it
Nebula isn’t a machine, she is a cyborg. Vision is a machine. Nebula was born as a living being and parts of her have been slowly replaced over time
You know, I think the movie ending with Captain America dancing with Agent Carter was the best ending ever.
22:54 That “cheeseburgers” line… hit me like a brick wall in the theater. During the funeral and the subsequent scenes before it, I felt as if my heart was being carpet bombed with emotions. “I am Iron Man” “You can rest now” “I love you 3000”. The entire time I can feel that emotion pushing me to the breaking point, but some how I’m still holding it in.
And then as the camera zooms out during the funeral I’m thinking about the first Iron Man movie. When we first saw Stark. When he got back home and asked for only two things a conference and cheeseburgers. Then Happy asks Morgan if she wants anything. In my head I was thinking: “Don’t you say it…”. When she said: “cheeseburgers”.
All those emotion bombs finally hit. It broke me… I’m not ashamed to say I cried.
That part hit me too for the same exact reason!
And then Happy saying while a bit choked, "I'll get you all the cheeseburgers you want", fucking was the double tap to my feels.
I still get goosebumps watching this after 3 years
I imagine I still would if I watched 3 years from now, as well.
ya💯💯
Agreed, I still get goosebumps at the avengers assemble scene
@@user-vn1nn1dn6t definitely one of the best scenes in the MCU. Too bad they don't have the same magic anymore.
@A_Bagel4162 yeah it's my personal favorite scene in the whole mcu, and I agree, I still like marvel but I agree that they don't have the same magic anymore, they should of taken a break after endgame imo and maybe brain storm ideas or something
I've watched this at least half a dozen times and I've cried at Tony's death every single time.... I think the Russo brothers did an incredible job of balancing the moments...with this many huge characters it would have been easy to get caught up in 1 or 2 arcs and neglect others, but they didn't. This movie is a goddamn masterpiece!!!
Did you catch that Howard Stark's butler was named Jarvis? He was such an important part of Tony's childhood that he named the A.I. that eventually became Vision after him. He's one of the main characters in the show "Agent Carter" and he's great. He becomes good friends with Peggy during the show.
Also gave him the same voice
the parallel between the fight between Tony and Capt in the first Avenger movie about Tony not being the self-sacrificing person and the only thing special about capt came out of a bottle, and how Tony sacrificed himself at the end and Capt being worthy. The portal scenes still gives me goosebumps
oooh
The parallel was in the 1st movie. Cap said it and at the end of the movie, Tony "sacrificed" his life going beyond the portal with little chance of returning back to Earth.
This comment probably not perfectly written, English is my 2nd language. I'm still learning, mb if any mistakes made my comment hard to understand.
@@kobaye2111 that's true, he had been sacrificing himself throughout really, but it wasn't completely fulfilled until Cap picked up the hammer (:
Tony was always wrong about this!
The only thing Cap got from a bottle is physical strength… he was always honorable.
@@LeMan8o4wrong about what
Dude the "Cap is worthy" bit was the greatest moment I've ever had in the cinema by a long, long way. Absolutely insane.
In the theater, people jumped out of their seats when it panned over to see Cap was the one who lifted the hammer. It was like a local team just won the super bowl. Cheering and high fives in the crowd. Followed by lots of internal thoughts of "that's his ass now"!
@@NotSoFast71not in mine lol
So anticipated
That ending man....everytime...right in the feels.
A character so well written and played so well that we all loved him and cared about him.
It’s the music
I remember watching this at the cinema with my kids! After the movie we were going to a birthday party. We had to wait in the car like 30 minutes after arriving at the party because my kids couldn't stop crying for Iron Man!😭😂 It is a fantastic movie, and not just a fantastic superhero movie, but a fantastic movie in general!
I went to a ComiCon a couple of months after release and Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner and Don Cheadle were the panel. Jeremy was asked about the Natasha scene and he got so choked up he couldn’t speak…about FILMING the scene. It told be how invested these actors were in making that movie everything the fans wanted it to be. I can’t watch that scene without remembering that.
Thanks for this tidbit! I loved hearing Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth talking about how many times they cried just watching the movie they made (6 for Hemsworth, "at least six" for Evans). It was such an emotional journey for everyone involved, and it shows how committed they were to each other and this art. It's awesome to know it affected Renner as well!
You don’t need to be “worthy” to pick up Storm Breaker. But that part got an amazing reaction out of the crowd in the theater!! Goosebumps for days!!
Yeah most people I’ve seen talk about this go about it trying to explain it in weird ways but it’s really just as simple as, Odin enscribed/enchanted Mjolnir specifically to only be capable of wielding by he who is worthy. Storm breaker was created without any sort of enscription/enchantment barring its use from anyone
@@jakewhite1760 yep! Exactly! Well said 👏🏼
Thanos was also smart enough to grab the wrist of his opponent
Yeah you just need to be strong enough to actually wield it. Like Thor said, those weapons are not meant for mortals, the reason cap could wield it briefly is because he already was powered up by wielding mjolnir
@@matthewkreps3352 He straight up grabbed Stormbreaker by the handle actually.
"Everything special about you came out of a bottle", nope.
"You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play", also nope.
The way this movie executes the culmination of all that character development is so so so amazing. Been a blast watching back along with ya my dude!
❤
Agreed
I absolutely love when "the big 3" tony, thor, and cap lineup and discuss what they are going to do whenever they face Thanos again. Beautiful moment.
Watching this in theaters was an otherworldly experience. People were crying, cheering, gasping and it was all such a memorable experience that I’ll always cherish. I live that they give tribute to the original 6 avengers with their own credits montage and hearing the hammer strike at the very end tying us back to the original Iron Man. ♾️ everything comes back around, this is the Infinity Saga. No go watch the epilogue Spider-Man: Far From Home.
It was!
It wasn’t a movie that night, it was a whole ass cinematic experience.
Seeing this at the BFI IMAX in London, the largest screen in the UK, with my best friends, surrounded by hundreds of others who waited years and years for this, was the greatest cinema experience of my life. A once in a generation event.
I was on premier night. People just was straight crying at the end.
For me it was Infinity War. We saw this one a little later than we wanted to cause life and shit. IW we saw opening night in Imax. There will never be another theater experience like that one for me. You knew everyone in that room were at your level of fandom. Laughing at all the same parts, cheering at all the same parts, everyone gasping when Tony got stabbed, and complete dead silence during the dusting. I've never had that much adrenaline or felt like I was on a roller coaster for a movie. I'm sure they'll come out with more great MCU movies, but I won't hold it against them if they're unable to accomplish that experiment again. That is and forever will be a core memory for me.
I'll always remember the experience of watching this movie in the cinema, years of story building culminating in one big final battle for the fate of the universe.
Everybody cried, cheered, laughed, and it will be a while to have an experience like this one.
Honestly don't think there ever will be. No one has ever tried anything like this before. Not even remotely. And it worked. It's lightning in a bottle. And no other decade long world building phenomenon is every going to come close to the feeling of this first one. This was something extremely special to be a part of. Something quite rare.
It was the best theater experience I’ve ever had. Well infinity war was, until endgame haha. My and da boys have been going to the theaters to see marvel movies on opening day since highschool when we met. (Someone’s parent would drive us before at least one of us was able to lol).
End game was the last marvel movie we ALL could be there for. After that, we were in college, out of state, in the military, heck one my friends has a kid now. So Endgame really was the end of a big chapter in my life. I will never forget it for the rest of my life also.
Also sorry not sorry for my Ted talk on my life, no one asked but idc lol.
I didn't think I'd ever go to see a superhero movie in a theater where probably more than half of it was sniffling when a character died. Quite the experience
Dude, when natasha goes, you could hear a pin drop 😞 when cap gets the hammer people were jumping out of their seats, I agree and I'm so glad I went to experience it ❤❤
@@bp51082 The movie was a let down, They need to just fucking stick to the comics and stop going in ridiculous directions. So many Loop Holes
13:39 "Gorilla Mammoths" and "Sky Leeches")🤣🤣🤣
12:37 bro you should’ve seen this movie in theaters it was crazy 😂 people literally started applauding
Not in mine
@@foodreacts837 oh lol cause people were losing their minds in mine
The kid at the funeral is the kid who helped Tony out and gave him the Dora the Explorer watch from Iron Man 3!
Steve and Peggy finally getting their happy life always gets me to cry the most, but Tony’s arc reactor light going out is always devastating.
You can rest now
The lady behind me was sobbing like she had asthma when Tony was dying 🥹
@@TruSoulDj - I shouldn't be laughing, but maybe she actually had asthma haha.
My wife is a school teacher and one of her students came up after this movie came out knowing that BlackWidow was her favorite and gave her a big hug crying about her death.
So I just watched all your infinity war and endgame videos in a row. I’ve been a diehard MCU fan since 08. I’ve seen these movies and shows dozens of times each, yet I was so happy to sit here and watch them with you and experiencing them for the first time. I yelled and cheered and cried even tho I knew what was happening. Thank you for this trip. There will never ever EVER (Taylor swift voice) be an event with as much hype as infinity war and endgame. Lol literally after these films came out the world pretty much went down the tubes with Covid and other stuff. There’s nothing else to live for 💀
Cried for Tony…again.
I haven't read all the comments, but when you said "wait, who's that kid in the back?" at Tony's funeral, that was the kid from Iron Man 3. Great stuff Alex, this whole phase 3 is supposed to put you through the wringer, and it does in spades. But the trip is worth it, and as Tony said, part of the journey is the end. In a way I'm glad they were willing to kill a few people off, make it a little uncomfortable, and have ultimate outcomes for some of our favorite characters (namely Cap and Tony). Have you seen the new Deadpool announcement for Deadpool 3? 😀
Has he even _seen_ Deadpool? Or any X-Men, for that matter?
@@sandwiched he would love deadpool if he hasnt
Holy crap, I never knew who that kid was! Finally, someone tells me!
I feel ALOT of us at the time when watching were saying "who's that" LOL
Again?! I'm going to have to stop reading the comments.
"Did you know" followed by the most obvious non trivia everyone knows. Including people who haven't even seen the movie.
Please, PLEASE don't miss MCU series! WandaVision is incredible, I bet you'll fall for Wanda after this one and REALLY see her true power!
Thank you for this reaction 😊
They’re also becoming necessary to fully enjoy the movies.
And don't forget Loki! It's just as important for the coming story line!
The first half is incredible.
The 2nd half is pretty weak.
Wandavision was mediocre. Loki and TFATWS were objectively better
@Latest Obsession Fair enough, but the same holds true for your opinion on Wandavision
Cap's line from the first Avengers where he tells Tony, "You're not the one to make the sacrifice play" hits different after Endgame.
I remember seeing this opening night. The amount of people, the cheering, the emotions, everything, nothing can surpass seeing Endgame in Theaters for me. It truely was an experience 11 years in the making, and I loved every second of it.
The kid at the funeral is the one from Iron Man 3
Holy shit, thank you for that! I always wondered who that was, haha. Cheers! 🥂
Harley Keener....future Iron Lad
I don’t think that’s been confirmed has it? The iron lad but I mean-
How can you people not recognize the same human just a few years older?!?!
@@8tonystark8 they just forget about him
The fact that they wrapped up this section of the mcu in such a great movie is one of the biggest achievements in the history of cinema. I always loved how despite including everyone, the story of endgame is about a resolution to the character arcs of the original avengers, and everyone got their opportunity to shine. Just incredible and detailed execution by the Russo Brothers and always a joy to relive it with someone. Great reaction as always!
I don't think the MCU will ever top this. Whatever the current phases are leading to is probably going to be a bit of a letdown since the bar was set so high with Infinity War and Engame.
Very climactic!! Unlike the ending of Game of Thrones. The Russo brothers would've tied GoT so beautifully and give us the endingbwe deserved smh
The achievement would have even be greater if they had just stopped making Marvel movies after this movie. Currently Marvel is like a boxer who is past his prime and should have stopped fighting when he was the champion.
@@Quotenwagnerianer I agree with some parts of your statements. I don't mind that they continued making movies but I just feel like they're making shit movies but releasing it anyway because they know they're a beloved studio and that anything they make will be watched by millions across the globe.
Personally, I would have only left the series/shows to characters who deserve the long time run. I'm talking about Wanda, Moonknight, Hawkeye. These characters all deserve series for different reasons. Obviously for Wanda, her stories are so unique and so layered with emotions and beautiful storytelling of motherhood, that the stories NEED to be explored with a long run time.
Moonknight's introduction showed us that the different personalities need time to be established and that if they were in a movie, we wouldn't get a balanced amount of both Marc and Steve, and hopefully Jake. Although the ending was shit, which is expected from Marvel Disney+ shows, Moonknight benefits from a series because of his situation.
Hawkeye, oh Hawkeye, needs to be a series because well... he gets overshadowed in the movies so... obviously that's that.
Anyway, my point is, I like that they continued but I think the MCU's main focus should have been their movies since at the end of that day, it is a CINEMATIC universe. They've been giving all their time to their series that even though they turn out mediocre, they're still strong enough to compete with the movies and therefore, battle the films in terms of enjoyability.
There's too many shows and I think that's the hurting the studio.
The boy at the end at Tony's funeral is Harley Keener, the little science kid who helped him fix his suit in his shed in Ironman 3.
13:47 “on your left”, I remember that was enough for my theater to *lose their minds*
Cap's arc throughout the movies was the most incredible for me. He was the small heroic kid from Brooklyn with ambitions much bigger than he was. Always grounded in principle and virtue. "I can do this all day" wasn't just a line, it was a creed. Constantly fighting, constantly doing the right thing. "It's your job to plant yourself like a tree, and say No, you move." Breaking out everyone in the prison and facing Red Skull, leading the avengers in New York, destroying all of hydra and saving Bucky from himself, facing the entire world government for his friend because he knew he was being persecuted, facing down Ultron by himself, the only person not frozen when Thanos came to Earth, (Eyes up, stay sharp) and then standing up vs the entirety of Thanos' Army ready to exterminate the world and not backing down. He never moved, he never wavered, and he did in fact "do this all day".
The character writing for cap is one of the most incredible writing for any character ever.
Incredible writing for Batman/The Dark Knight is amazing & on par with Cap`s I believe. Christopher Nolan has done a great job with the writing for his Batman Trilogy that matches Captain America.
He went from that scrawny little Brooklyn kid to pretty much a god at the end through sheer values and determination. Truly amazing if I'm completely honest.
Kirk Sullivan, my friend, you are gifted
I liked how Tony was almost the inverse of Cap.
Cap was always selfless and willing to sacrifice, so in the end he finally got to be selfish and have his happy ending.
Where Tony started out selfish, and in the end he had to be selfless and make the ultimate sacrifice.
That Line is so sick, CAP is the man
For the record, you only need to be worthy to lift the hammer. Anyone can pick up the ax so long as your body is strong enough to handle the power
Pepper telling Tony "You can rest now" is probably what hit me the hardest...🥺
One of my favorite movies of all time! I never knew I needed this reaction, till now. Your reactions are priceless. 😂
Now imagine being in a 700 seater IMAX, the film started at 5 past midnight, it's now gone 3am and cap picks up the hammer and the whole cinema goes crazy, absolutely great memories.
in a loud threater this would be sucha cool expierence
I’ll never forget my IMAX experience
Nothing quite like it
God dude this and Infinity War are experiences we’ll NEVER see again. 10 years to build up to that and it was awesome! I love a good crowd.
@@DillyDilly13 idk man, secret wars and the kang saga are gonna be lit
Just like Endgame itself, this reaction was definitely worth the wait. It's been a pleasure to relive the MCU journey with you and I'm glad you're not stopping here.
The wait to this reaction was nothing in comparison lol
Glad you've enjoyed the journey so far 🙂
I remember watching this in theatres and I BAWLED my eyes out. Natasha and Gamora were some of my absolute favourite characters and losing both the same way. Ouch. Tony was also one of my favourites. I think I even went to see it twice xD
At least we kinda got Gamora back.
Did you watch the credits for this one? Of not, I highly recommend checking them out. They’re an awesome tribute to the entire MCU and all the actors and characters that contributed to it, especially the original 6 Avengers.
The "kid" from the funeral was the little guy that helped him in Iron Man 3. He grew up some, so he wasn't easy to recognize.
Just finished watching all the reactions up to now. It’s honestly my favorite thing watching people new to the MCU react. So refreshing and brings me back to the many theater reactions myself. Great job man!
Another fun review, Alex. It was a blast seeing your reactions and on the spot predictions.
Such an amazing film and series. Witnessing the MCU unfold was a surreal experience. Key moments from comic history and the team-ups of so many talented actors was truly something to behold.
Such an emotional movie, crazy how much interconnectivity there is, 10 years worth of plot lines and world building.
Imagine the hype that all of us felt during all the awesome scenes after waiting a whole year for the movie and the ending of a DECADE of storytelling. It was such a satisfying experience
I can only imagine what it was like to wait that whole time.
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault The anticipation was excruciating. It was worse for us fans of STAR WARS. Can you imagine back in 1977 STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE was released. Then we had to wait til 1980 to see STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and then we had to wait til 1983 to see STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI. That shit was insane back then. But it kept all of us hyped as hell waiting for it.
I still get goosebumps from the "assemble" line
Thank you for a great reaction, loved your facial expressions, (involuntary) exclamations en pure love for the MCU. Awesome way to relive these great movies!
Thank you Alex for the conclusion to this epic reaction, really glad you enjoyed it, my advice to you now though is after Far From Home you need to start the TV shows :) we still love you 3000 buddy
Love you guys back!
Yes, at this point the series are integral to the greater plot of the MCU, unlike the Netflix and Hulu series (even though I'd recommend most of them)
@@moggybones8893 well…. Sorta spoilers….
No Way Home confirmed that Netflix marvel is in the mcu now.
@@moggybones8893 I didn't watch All hail the king (didn't even know it exists 🤷♀️) Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel or She-Hulk but so far I have no problems to keep up. 🤷♀️
@@troyboi7662 not quite. They have announced some returning characters, yes, but they have yet to confirm or deny if they will be new versions/variants and where the Netflix series are situated in-canon (within the sacred timeline or a different branch?). Personally I always assumed they were set post 1st Avengers but before Ultron and the Sokovia Accords.
This is something you have to experience in a theater. The audience reactions were crazy
I wish I could go back in time 🤣
Especially in IMAX as it was ENTIRELY shot in that format.
Unfortunately, for legal reasons, they couldn't have the home release in that format... the only way (except for IMAX theatres) to see it in IMAX ratio (approximately 33% more image on screen) is on D+.
@@alexhefnerstvmovievaultI'm certain they will get rereleased in theater one day. It will definitely be worth (by that time, yet another) rewatch.
I'm equally certain that some parts will get the same reaction in terms of intensity, if lacking surprise.
Even at home..."Cap is worthy"? We all still make noise. It's the definition of a scene that "doesn't get old".
I take it your from USA
@@foodreacts837 I take it you are not? 😊
never thought i would see alex cry. that moved me more
There is no end credit scene, but if you watch all the way through, you hear a hammer striking metal, letting us hear, once again, Tony making the first Iron Man suit
I will ALWAYS get chills when Sam says ''On your left Cap.'' ALWAYS! IMO as well? Bucky knew what Steve was going to do. Hence? He let Sam have that moment. Either he knew Cap that well, that he knew that was what he'd done, the moment he flew by their timeline, or? They'd discussed it hence? He gave Sam that ''Moment.'' despite he and Steve, being as close, or closer than brothers. No-one can deny, it's totally epic. Definitely chills throughout!
I haven't watched it since last summer, but I swear they confirmed that in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Or at least Kevin Feige has confirmed it, I believe, so you're dead on. Bucky knew Steve's plan.
@@JeffKelly03 Ah - I've not watched that series yet. I keep meaning to, just life lol but I will get around to it. Thanks for confirming it :) I'll have a binge watch day! He gave that little smile didn't he? If he'd confided in anyone with it though? It would have def been Bucky hence my reasoning lol
@@silverdoeGirl bucky was the only one who gave him a real "goodbye" before he time travelled when you look back on it. He also does say to falcon "when steve told me what he was planning" in falcon and the winter soldier so steve did tell bucky.
@@aspenture1087 Yes! And Cap reassured him as well. I'm def going to binge watch that series. Thank you! I do want to see how Sam get's on with being the ''New'' captain America.
“He let Steve have that moment”, you mean Sam? Probably a typo 👍
Great reaction to a great film buddy, this is truly more than a movie, it's an experience, SO MUCH TO SAY!
In a "blink and you'll miss it" moment, Thor says "I knew it" when Steve picks up the hammer, and that's a nod to another "blink and you'll miss it" moment in Age of Ultron where they are all trying to pick up Thor's hammer at the party, and Steve ever-so-slightly gets the hammer to move the tiniest amount, and Thor looks worried for a split second. The current theory was that Steve noticed he could lift it but didn't b/c he didn't want to embarrass Thor.
Not sure if you got the answer yet, but that one odd teenager looking guy in the funeral that was the "who is that guy?" guy, that's the boy from Iron Man 3 that Tony used his garage and watch and left him the big lab with the nickname "the mechanic". I thought having him there was a really subtle but touching addition.
Steve and Bucky had another easy-to-miss moment with their "you're taking all the stupid with you" line. Bucky says "I'll miss you buddy" and if you look at the way Bucky acts (he's not surprised) when Steve doesn't come back and then is old Steve - you can tell that Steve told Bucky what he was going to do beforehand and got his blessing to give the shield to Sam instead of Bucky. The fact that Bucky was the only person Steve told is just another heartwarming nod to how close they were, partly because I think Steve knew Bucky, being he was also "out of time" would understand and wouldn't try and talk him out of it.
Regarding Clint vs Natasha, it surprised me that Natasha didn't state the obvious: Clint has kids, Natasha doesn't. For me, I don't have kids, and if I was in that situation with a friend that had kids, that's case closed, no questions asked, of course it should be me. It really surprised me she didn't make that point, it's obvious when you put it in the context of parenting. (In fact, it's SO obvious in terms of parenting that it takes all of the tension and dilemma out of the moment which is probably why they didn't go there)
Natasha, Steve, and Tony's endings here DO make sense in terms of their character arcs and their actor's journeys as well. Steve since the beginning has been the "jump on the grenade guy", what he's never done is put himself and his needs first, so he finally learned to do that. Natasha never had a family to die for and she finally got to do that, and Tony went from being self-absorbed and narcissistic trying to use technology to save him from the ultimate sacrifice, to be willing to do it when it was needed, he finally earned his "jump on the grenade" moment, while still bringing it back full circle with his "I am Iron Man" line.
From the actor's side of things, RDJ played Iron Man 10 times in 11 years and he's 57 now and so if he's going to walk away from the character, does he want to ride off into the sunset without a big climax or does he want to go out saving the universe? There's no better way to walk away than that.
Turning our attention to the larger Marvel conversation and the obvious, "well how do they top that?" elephant in the room, there's a few things to know about what's going on in Marvel-land:
First, Marvel has retroactively named Phases 1-3 as "The Infinity Saga" since they all deal with the Infinity Stones and that whole journey. They have also named Phases 4-6 as "The Multiverse Saga" and we're building up to Avengers 5+6 which have been announced but are still a couple years out.
Being that there is a "three phase rhythm" with a slow buildup to a big event, we're now in phase 4 and it definitely has that noticeable shift to starting the next slow buildup. There's not a ton of "OMG OMG OMG" at the moment, but there IS a lot of character building, both with some existing characters that survived all of the hullaballoo and introducing new characters. Phase 4 ALSO is the start of Disney+ TV series which allow more character focused stories that wouldn't necessarily be a good fit for a movie but work well in episodic format.
Just looking at the loose threads from the end of Endgame, there are a few obvious things of note:
- Sam was handed Cap's shield, and that's a lot to process
- The world had half the population gone for 5 years only to have them instantly come back - the economics and logistics of that are overwhelming to society
- A version of Loki from an alternate timeline escaped with the Tesseract when they went back to 2012
- Peter has a version of Gamora back but it's not the one that knows him
- Wanda had been blipped for 5 years, so as far as she's concerned, Vision "just died" and she's not had any time to process that
- Clint went full vigilante for 5 years and made a lot of enemies in the process
- Thor left with the Guardians of the Galaxy to find himself
- The characters, like the audience, are also feeling "now what?"
And so on, and so that's where phase 4 picks up. Some folks haven't liked the shows as much since they are more character driven and less big bang boom action, but personally my wife and I and a bunch of our friends have really loved the shows specifically for that reason.
The other big thing to know moving forward is a bit of the logistics/business side as it relates to Marvel's plans. As you may or may not be aware, Marvel had sold off a bunch of characters to different movie studios in the 90s and that's why Sony has Spiderman and 20th Century Fox had X-Men, The Fantastic Four, and Deadpool, and so on. Disney bought 20th century fox in 2019 so now Marvel owns the X-Men, The Fantastic Four, and Deadpool again. And it's highly speculated that "because multiverse" will become the plot device to bring everybody over into the MCU, meaning that an eventual "X-Men vs Avengers" is likely at some point like it was in the comics. So, some of the story choices now are more tactical in terms of finding reasons to get everyone on screen together.
Ryan Reynolds JUST broke the internet THIS WEEK by announcing that Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine from the Fox X-Men movies with Ryan returning as Deadpool in Deadpool 3 which will be set in the MCU. The "because multiverse" also means that Marvel has a perpetual excuse to bring anyone back: Chris Evans, RDJ, whomever, and they can do so "because multiverse", so we'll see how that plays out.
So yes, there is still plenty of content to enjoy and plenty more coming to keep your gooch slapped for many years to come.
Cheers
and please, Alex, keep going trough MCU release dates (movies and TV shows) but watch side by side with all the Spiderman past movies (before No Way Home) and the X-Men saga too
So happy u posted this! And me and my boyfriend agree the new content, disney+ shows and the new movies have gotten so much shit but I've liked almost everything so far and have loved some too. Wandavision and loki are incredible I loved moon knight too. And the movies aren't as bad as some say, multiverse of madness was great, it was just go go go non stop, no way home was one of the best movies to come out since endgame, and love and thunder was fun and I loved the ending.
@Latest Obsession I absolutely LOVE the idea of Deadpool doing a 4th wall breaking "previously on" montage spoof.
Thank you for such an insightful comment! and yes, this movie was a total experience!
This Avenger movie was the most reactive audience I have been in the movies with. We were all cheering, we were all crying & at the end, the entire theater gave the cast a standing ovation when the credits rolled.
Hey, I'm so glad I found your channel. I watched all four of your reactions - Infinity War & Endgame - and despite having watched both movies countless of times, watching your first reactions to the movies got me all excited again. Thank you so much for making these videos. Awesome reaction! So glad that you enjoyed them.
This movie, even just this half of the movie, has so much emotional stuff in it. They definitely did a good job giving fans the payoff they deserved after a decade plus of watching the movies.
This movie is... Its a one in a lifetime movie
Seeing it in theaters was a holy experience
Even now, although ive seen it 4-5 times, the death scenes and the ending just get me to nearly cry
My favourite movie of all time, if i dare say
Also, at 22:29
That kid is, i think, the kid from iron man 3, who tony met when he crash landed in his suit
That is who he is but I don't really know why they brought him back. Maybe he has some role in the future?
@@joshuas193 I would assume it was done mostly as a fan service
Like
"Hey this character still exists"
@@joshuas193 it was more of an easter egg for the more hardcore fans than a teasing of something with him in my opinion. It could've led to something if we didn't already have peter as his symbolic child / successor, morgan as his child / maybe successor in like phase 8, and iron heart as the new armored face of the mcu
I regret not getting into the MCU sooner, I wish I could've seen it sooner
3:16 I remember watching this for the first time and I was literally screaming "Peggy pls notice him"🥲
I'm amazed but so glad that you managed to avoid all of those spoilers for more than 3 years to be able to enjoy it without any preconceptions. I watched it for the first time about a year ago, but I had stumbled upon hundreds of memes, references and clips by that time, so I had a decent idea of what to expect. Hats off to you, Alex, I was able to enjoy your first time as much as my own.
There's a lot in this movie. It's worth a 2nd watch minimum. One of my favorite parts is Sam saying "on your left" as a call back to the first time Sam met Cap, running around the pool in DC.
Now, Iron Man came out in 2008. I was *fourteen* when this journey started. It was an *incredible* feeling, seeing all these characters that I'd effectively grown up with done so right. People say that superhero movies or action movies aren't art. I say, fuck that. This whole saga is a damn piece of art.
Your going to make a great dad! A man who almost cries at a little grieving daughters frill socks is a true father in every sense of the word. ❤
i love the reaction, love what you said about build up and release cause that was exactly it for me too + i might have fallen in love with your dancing
This movie was an emotional rollercoaster and still is no matter how many times I've seen it. Glad you have finally got through End Game.
Side note: That guy at the end during the memorial for Tony.....the one you said "Who's that" about. That is the kid that helped Tony in Iron Man 3.
There's no words that can sum up the experience of Endgame....watching 10 years of film cultivate together. Every call back (On your left, to Cap picking up the Mjolnir, Black Panther calling Hawkeye Clint, Wasp calling Steve Cap, etc) was absolutely perfectly earned. This is the reason why I love the MCU and will be a fan for life. Thank you for letting us experience your journey!
It makes me so happy seeing you enjoy this movie. It still hits home every time I watch it
In my theater on opening night when Cap says “Assemble” half of us said “Fuck yeah!!”
The best in theater experience ever.
Tony's death hits really hard, because it's almost exactly what happened when my cousin died. She had cancer, and seemed in so much pain in those last moments. After we got the nurses to usher everyone else out, my sister just let her know that it was just us in the room. My cousin calmed, took one last breath, and was gone.
I love this movie, but I don't think there'll ever be a time where I don't cry because of that part...
There will never be another theatre pop/reaction like after Captain American said "Avengers!!... Assemble." Places were going insane!
I've rewatched this series from several reactors, and I must say yours has been the most satisfying.
I never read the Marvel comics or the original Infinity War issues, but the sheer creative talent involved with telling the story onscreen is a huge feat. Connecting about 10 years of movies and characters' storylines needed more than one movie. A cinematic fantasy masterpiece.
I know it doesn’t even compare, BUT the SAW series is exactly like the for 10 years of the MCU. All movies connecting together. I mean it is the biggest franchise in horror 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure if it's come up before, but if you haven't seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy that is definitely worth doing reactions for.
I concur!
Extended versions preferably.
just want to say i have been watching your reactions for the past week or so and it makes me smile and laugh so much, i have been struggling with depression lately , love you and your gooch bro lola
Two things in this movie just kill me, every time - 1) Pepper telling Tony "We'll be okay, you can rest now," when he's NEVER been able to rest, his entire life; and 2) Cap dancing with Peggy right at the end. *sob*
When Cap hears "on your left" and the portals start opening, that's a throwback to when Rodgers met Faclon while they were training on the Track.
Side note: Ironman hug with Spiderman gets me to cry every time. That hug says "I'm not letting go this time!"
Dude, I can honestly say this movie was an experience. I was on opening night and it felt like a stadium filled with people cheering, screaming, feeling, crying and every emotion imaginable. You should check some of the reactions here on YT. INSANE.
I can only remember something like that happening back in 1977 when I was 7 years old and STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE came out. The crowds was around the block at the movie theater. It was long lines everywhere for that movie. The Avengers movies are like.......... STAR WARS.
Love your reaction vids!! ..The subtlety shown by Doctor Strange when he points the one finger to Tony confirming this is the 1 chance, it's now or never, and Tony knows in this moment he has to make the ultimate sacrifice. Two important things here - Doctor Strange said earlier that he cannot say anything as it then won't happen, and Cap who previously said to Tony "You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play" and then Tony proceeds to makes the ultimate sacrifice... Goosebumps moment!!
From the first iron man movie all the way to end game has been, in my opinion, one of if not the greatest series of stories in cinema history. Every single character has a role and is acknowledged for it and the growth of every character was fantastic. This was absolutely peak storytelling. The individual movies may have had some bumps and issues in some of them but the fact that this team as a whole has managed to string this story together is one of the greatest accomplishments that I can think of.
Thank you for giving their magnificent story the love it deserves on your channel as well.
I can’t begin to the describe the energy of the theater on opening night when Sam’s voice came through and the portals opening up. Then the cheers that exploded in the theater when Cap said “Avengers assemble” and that final battle. It was amazing to be a part of it. 😊
U don’t need to be worthy to use Stormbreaker btw
I was never a huge comic book guy, but the climax in this movie was absolutely insane, and I goosebumped out too
They prove each other wrong.
“Everything special about you came out of a bottle.” (lifted Thor's hammer)
"You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play" (used the infinity stones and died)
Watching all of your MCU reactions over these past few months has been fantastic and really fun to just sit back and enjoy. Looking forward to more content post-Endgame. Keep up the great work man
Fun fact for you hef, the teenage kid you can see at Tony’s funeral where you said “who the hell is that kid” 😂 that is the kid Tony met in Iron Man 3
That moment when Tony dies got me everytime. Sacrificing himself makes him the best and strongest avanger in my opinion
Watching this through someone’s first time eyes brings back every emotion from my first time watching.
To this day, opening night Endgame was the most incredible theater experience I’ve ever had
I only started doing opening showing since NWH which was great itself but damn I wish I was at the first endgame showing
