Movie Review By Abigail Augustin
Endgame.
The End of Games
Avengers Endgame directed by The Russo brothers, Anthony and Joe Russo. The ending of the Marvel Avengers franchise came with many twists and turns and reappearances from our favorite characters. Following the Avengers: Infinity War movie our favorite marvel characters were scattered all over the universe trying to reverse the damage that Mad Titan Thanos; played by Josh Brolin, has created. After failing to retrieve the stones in the first few scenes in the movie, they all went their separate ways until 5 years later and hatching a plan of going back in time to get the stones and undo the snap.
With the help of Thor, Hulk, Ant-man, and others that survived the snap traveled into previous marvel movies relating to the timeline. Such as the time when the Hulk, Iron man, Captian America, and Antman were in Avengers Age of Ultron where also the shaman from Doctor strange was also fighting against the aliens. Hulk went to retrieve the time stone and the shaman revealed that what Doctor Strange did the Infinity War would help them win against Thanos. Knowing this information they wet along with this plan with a few bumps.
The Russo brothers using Stan Lee the creator of all the marvel comics reenacted an amazing yet rollercoaster of finales to the Marvel franchise.
Throughout the film, there have been many cameos and other hints from previous Marel movies to depicted what is going to happen and how it all going to play itself out. Having cameos like Tony Starks dad and Loki from the First Avengers movie showing comic comparison aswell. Letting the audience know that not all the characters that are lost are not lost. This also reveals the conflict of uncertainty of the future for all of the characters and their future lives whether they live or die in this War.
This movie shows the power of hope and dependency of the unknown and hoping that all will be right with such a risky plan. Which in the end it is resolved. Iron-man sacrificing himself to eliminate Thanos and his army for good while killing himself in the process for the whole world to be in order before Thanos came and terrorized everyone.
The message of this movie was that there is no harm in trying to get back what was lost. That it is okay to risk it all for loved ones and other people. This is what Marvel movies are about to fulfill this fantasy of senseless superheroes that would do anything for the universe that needs saving. To fulfill or dreams in reality that we too can be heroes, not to this extent but in our own ways in our own lifetime.
I agree with your statement in how the movie teaches the audience that we all have a hero in ourselves and even if we are taken down and destroyed there is always a fighting chance. And the moment where Iron man died was so impactful that it connects with the audience and forces them to understand the amount of pain and loss that some people endure in the world and still have to push forward. I also think that what you said about marvel being smart about placing their ester eggs is great. They did a great job hiding hints and clues to what will happen in the finale and it was all worth trying to figure out. Especially that Endgame to a satisfying end.
ReplyDeleteAs was stated by this blog, Avengers: Endgame was a fantastic finale to the Avengers series. The film featured a great story line that built up to the biggest and most fascinating battle in any of the Marvel movies. One of the strongest parts of the film was the creativity of the plan to get all the stones back and save half of the planet. Having the Avengers go back in time to past movies gives a unique perspective to the fans of some of their past favorite Marvel films. In addition, this blog does a good job of touching on a significant message behind the film. Superheroes are always cool but when their is a message behind their actions it is most significant. In Endgame in order to bring peace to the world and defeat Thanos sacrifice had to be made by Tony Stark and that is the most meaningful message. The death of Tony Stark most definitely made many Marvel fans around the world sad, but in the end his sacrifice had to be made to save the world.
