Avengers: Endgame – 22 Things I Learned From Marvel's Epic Opus

There is a lot going on in Avengers: Endgame. A lot. It's full of people coming and going and finishing a decade of continuity in Marvel Cinematic Universe, so it's no wonder we have a lot of opinions and more than a few questions.

But here are 22 things I've definitely learned – one for each of the MCU movies so far.

Warning: the ahoy spoilers!

Did we mention spoilers? OK, you have been warned, it's gone …

1. Captain Marvel is busy elsewhere. There are many universes out there, and it's apparently more important than literally traveling back in time to save the universe. Listen, she's just busy, okay?
2. The first word of Ant-Man in Endgame is "Hope?"
3. As is the tradition of the Russo brothers, the film contains a number of cameos from the very expensive sitcom Community on which the filmmakers made their teeth. In Endgame, Ken Jeong plays a role of security guard, while Yvette Nicole Brown is a SHIELD employee.
4. We can learn a lot about you when you chose to go to the bathroom during the final phase. I went there while Thor had a heart to heart with his mother. My wife went there when the punching started.
5. Even Marvel does not expect you to remember Dark World. This disconnected speech by Thor about how his ex-Jane met an Infinity Stone was pretty funny, but let's face it: really need the reminder.
6. The MCU still does not love Netflix. The Avengers invited everyone on the bridge and still have not called Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage or Iron Fist (even the Punisher might have been helpful).
7. There are no other scientists on the earth. There are only Tony Stark and Hulk Banner, even if it's not even their area of ​​expertise and they're just geniuses when there's no extraterrestrials in the vicinity. There is even no one to watch the dials while they jump in time.
8. Come on, you know you're going to pause the Blu-ray to read the names on the memorial.
9. Cape Shave His Beard announces a clean slate while he tries to move on, while Hawkeye gets a Mohawk tattoo and a dubious tattoo to show that he is now very nervous. Captain Marvel's haircut means … uh … she's fierce?
10. Superheroes spend a lot of time fighting crime, but not in the MCU. We saw them fighting aliens, international techno-terrorists, mythical frost elves and Nazis, but it's rare that we've seen anyone from the MCU come out to attack honest criminals. Although Ronin – Hawkeye with problems – is pushing vigilance a bit further.



11. Tony Stark is a mass murderer. Yes, Thanos and Obsidian Maw and their comrades were not very nice, but two fake shots are not right.
12. Black Widow's father called Ivan. She learned this just before she died, unfortunately – but could it be a montage for her? next movie to be a prequel?
13. It seems that the Russos will soon lose Peggy Carter. They had the chance to restore balance after unforgivable kill her in a text message in the civil warBut although it's true, offers Carter a happy ending with Steve, his lost love, she does not say anything. His TV mate, Jarvis, has more lines.
14. Rich people have privileges. The survival of Pepper Potts means that Tony Stark is isolated from the cliché. He therefore retired to his country estate with his family to be complacent and selfish. Billionaires, huh? Fortunately, Tony recognizes that when you can do something, you to have do something. Great power equals great responsibility, right? Think about this, Jeff Bezos.
15. Stay for credits – despite the absence of post-credit scene – and you'll see "The producers would like to thank Jim Starlin for his significant contribution to the film", which is only fair to the extent that he created Thanos. You will also see the comic legend camcorder in the postsnap support group of the film, along with co-director Joe Russo.



16. The credits also lists the personal trainers of the main cast, including a "coach of Mr. Hemsworth". Unless it is Korg with his local pizza delivery place with speed dial, someone is not doing his job very well.
17. Everyone just wants to retire to a farm and have a daughter – that's the dream of Tony, Hawkeye and Thanos, anyway. Even Thor can no longer be disturbed so he entrusts this work to Valkyrie.
18. Scarlett Johansson really should not go to Tokyo. Ronin's first words against her were "You should not be here", that's what a few people said when she was restrained. Ghost in the shell.
19. Back to the future is bullshit. As Professor Hulk Banner says about time travel, "either a joke or nothing at all."
20. Hulk is both Hulk and Banner now. Do with. It's good that after two disappointing solo movies, Hulk saves the day in the blink of an eye, but his huge character change looks like cheating. The interest of the character is his unpredictable duality – he's a brilliant genius and a time bomb. This led to one of the most interesting secondary intrigues of Infinity War, but it was written off screen. Which makes me angry. And you would not like me when I'm angry …
21. Tony Stark still loves an Audi, all these years after the product placement in the first Iron Man movie. Let's hope that Happy Hogan does not take Morgan Stark to Burger King.
22. Storage Locker Rat is the new Star Destroyer Gunner.
