Time to vote for your fave battle theme of the series! (sorry AP fans xD). I know many of us grew up playing with the default RPG Maker Battle02 theme in AV1 (I know I did!), but to make things consistent, I'm using all of Aaron Walz's versions of the battle themes.
To refresh your memory, I've inserted the themes below:

BIG SPOILERS BELOW THE āREAD MOREā CUT, FROM SYNOPSIS OF THE FILM
Just sat through a half-hour synopsis of the film.
I HAVE 16 HUGE SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT- ALL CONFIRMED
I HAVE PUT LOTS OF WARNINGS IN MY TAGS TOO - if you can think of any that Iāve missed out plse message me and Iāll add them.
doing the following list so you know if you want to read it again ;DĀ
*edited with update 24/4/19 22.20 London time; 2 spoliers added //Ā again at 22.36; another added, plus more details on some // 22.49 another added // 23.26 link to āspoilersā video added
Time Travel involved?
A- Of course!
How long after IW does it start?
A-Ā it starts 22 days later. They try and fail to reverse it all. THEN it jumps to FIVE YEARS LATER
Where is Thanos?
Heās off on a farm somewhere (other planet? Not sure.) Heās in a bad state. Using the gauntlet has drained him.
What big characters die?
A- Black Widow (dies to save Hawkeye), Iron Man (and they have his funeral), and Thanos. As far as I can make out,Thor kills him during the first 22 days. He cuts his head off. The others ask him why and he says,Ā āI went for the head.ā
Is it true that Cap goes back and dances with Peggy?
A- yes and he stays in the past.
Does Jane appear?
A- yes. Thor goes back to Asgard with Rocket. Rocket removes the ether from Jane via a needle. Thor decides he canāt bear to meet her, so goes to visit Frigga instead.
Do they actually manage to reverse the snap?
A- Yes. Everyone that was killed by the snap comes back. They do it by going back in time and āborrowingā the stones and Tony has his own gauntlet and snaps it and ta-dah!
HAWKEYE?
A- yes. In fact the movie opens with him and his daughter on his farm(?) just before the snap, when all his family die. In other words the snap didnāt get him.
Valkyrie??
A- Yes. Sheās alive
Pepper Potts?
A- Yes. She has a 5 yr old daughter with Tony, who is just as brainy as he is.
The Asgardians?
A- Half are alive and as far as I could make out from the synopsis video, they are in something like a fishing village????????? No idea!!!
Hulk?
A- This is a really weird bit- the hulk and Banner have combined and now there is Professor Hulk. Yeah.
Bucky?
A- Yes heās there, heās fine. He has the opportunity to go back and stay in the past but decided not to.
LOKI???
A-Ā You see him in the past. Itās never confirmed if heās dead, if he gets back to change things, nothing. He is in it VERY briefly and gets 2 lines.
Tony returns to Avengers Tower in 2012. They need to get the Tesseract. Loki is caught and bound- handcuffs, muzzle etc. The tesseract is in a suitcase which gets dropped and opens- the tesseract rolls to Lokiās feet. He uses it to escape right there. One review says he escapes āin a puff of smokeā but I donāt know if thatās how they did it or if the reviewer was using those words in sarcasm ;)Ā He is not seen again. I can only assume they left it open so that the series can go ahead.
Is the opening scene from IW revisited?
A- No. And I think that sucks, because that scene never made sense to me. It had tons of holes, was very disjointed.
The sun will shine on us again?
A- no, this doesnāt mean Loki and Thor reunite in the future. BUT when the Avengers reverse the snap, the trees all go green again, and the SUN SHINES BRIGHTLY. So you have to think well, how did Loki know to say that? Itās going to lead to sooo many fanfics and fan theories. (I had a theory quite a while back that this phrase might not mean Thor and Loki, and instead meant the Asgardians, and hate to say it but sheesh it seems I at last got something right.)
Overall?
Itās getting a big 10/10 in the reviews and summaries Iāve seen, but also Iāve heard that, although satisfying in that it resolves a lot, it is a pretty depressing movie, albeit with lots of action, and a big fight at the end where everyone like Black Panther, Dr Strange heck EVERYONE from snappy time arrives. (But no Loki, who IMHO could have come through and fought alongside everyone. WOW imagine if heād helped save Midgardians? Wouldnāt that be a great resolution to his invasion in 2012? Wouldnāt that close something off really nicely? Wahhh)
ALSO Iāve read that itās confusing (like, you donāt say??)
So- although I like that they didnāt exactly spell out that Loki was dead, neither did they explain the huge holes in that first scene of IW. It also means that when Thanos hurled Lokiās body at Thor (or towards the audience), saying āno resurrections this timeā he really was breaking the fourth wall. That, plus that whole disjointed scene, is going to leave me angry for all time.
Leaving it this way lets his fans able to say he got away and the non-fans say nah, he dead. But it also means that the last time we see Loki in an MCU film, heās seen as a villain.
Lastly, a link to one of the spoiler vidās Iāve watched.

#Iām glad Iāve stuck to my ānot giving Marvel another penny of my moneyā mantra! #Iām done with them. #Totally.
major (!!!)Ā endgame spoilers under the cut. if the read more doesnāt show up, scroll fast. i will be putting a couple spaces between here and the actual text itself to make sure that you will not be spoiled if you donāt want to be spoiled.Ā
anybody who knows me would know that natasha romanoff is one of my all time favourite avengers.Ā
i legit have a poster of her hanging up in my room. sheās a character i look up to and channel when i need a little bit of courage. every time a new marvel movie comes out i always seek out content related to her because i am very invested in her arc.Ā she means so much to me.Ā
i canāt believe she died.Ā
she sacrificed herself. sacrificed herself for her family, for her world. sheās been undermined for so long, by the fans and by the people in-universe, because she didnāt have typical āsuperpowersā. all she had was her wit and her will and her fists. and she made do and succeeded with just that.Ā
she died a hero. and iām sure in-universe, people will finally recognize her as that upon hearing about her sacrifice. but sheās always been a hero. not only to people within the marvel universe, but to people like me in the real world. and this is a question that doesnāt need answering but sheās always beenĀ worthy and she doesnāt need a mythical magical hammer to prove that.Ā
the red is finally wiped from her ledger.
iām sorry nat. iām sorry you were the butt of so many sexist jokes. iām sorry you underestimated as a 'sexy secretaryā when you are so much more than that. if thereās any character that deserved aĀ āhappily ever afterā, itās you. i wish you were able to experience that.Ā
