                                         Spoilers final warning.

First this maybe an unpopular opinion but I'm glad Carol Danvers didn't play a huge role. For me, this was supposed to be the original 6 Avengers last hurrah sort of thing. Not someone who's literally been in only 1 other MCU movie.

Second, thank you Russo Brother's for letting Tony be mad at Steve. And I'm sorry but after all Tony went through he deserved to be mad. And it broke my heart when Tony broke down. That they were the Avengers and not the "Pre-vengers". Since as Steve said in AoU If they lost they’d lose together and Civil War split the team Tony has every right to be angry. And no matter who’s side you were on, no one can deny Steve’s heavy hand and hypocritical behavior in the movie. (But that’s a post for another day)

Third, how the **** did they have a time travel movie without coming off cheesy or like they jumped the shark?!?! This was so well put together! And so well thought out. Is it perfect? No. Will there be a couple of us out there trying to figure out the time hole/loops? Probably. But it did not come out cheesy? Awesome.

Fourth, It is incredible how well the Avengers are showing the stages of grief. Steve is Denial (getting over denial?) with his support group is beautiful. Clint’s Anger is beautifully and heart breaking beautiful. Bruce and Hulk’s Bargaining in literally becoming one, while weird is amazingly creative and cool. Thor’s Depression is so freaking relatable it’s almost heartbreaking. And Tony’s Acceptance of everything and having moved on is incredible.

Fifth, Morgan Stark is adorable. Like rivals my nephew adorable. And heartbreaking since my first thought when seeing her was ‘NO! Do not give us Peter and take away Morgan!’ She was honestly what Tony always wanted in a way. She is him being able to move on. He was so trapped by what happened in Afghanistan that it took him and Pepper 10 years before they were able to settle down with each other. Tony was destined to be a parent/paternal figure. Literally since the beginning of the MCU fan fic writers have been giving him children and now the MCU has made it cannon! And more importantly it fits. Look at them!

Sixth, I’ve seen my parents have the same conversation that Tony and Pepper have. They both want to help people so much it takes over their lives and relationships half the time. And yet they still do it. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. And because it gives my sister and I an example to look up to.

Seventh, The Vormir scene. 

I was not expecting Natasha to die. but then they said they had to go to Volmir, and that it was Clint and Natasha going. I was mentally preparing myself to say goodbye to Clint. And then Natasha JUMPS after him. They saved each other for a moment and I was like ‘Red Skull will let them both live because of the love for each other.’ And the she LETS GO!!!!!!!!! And Clint breaks down for the lost of his friend. When in the EXACT SAME SITUATION Thanos did nothing!!! And everyone mourns. Yes! She has always said the Avengers were her family, but in that scene everyone shows how they are a family. Even when Thor blows it off thinking he could bring her back still feels right. Like how you expect a loved one to come back after they’re gone.

Eighth, The interactions during time travel is awesome. I love how all the Asgardians call Rocket a rabbit. I love that moment with Frigga and Thor matched only by Howard and Tony. This is truly the moment, both of them feel and understand their parents love. I love how they joked about the whole Cap is Hydra thing from a few years ago, and more importantly everyone’s faces in the elevator. Although I wish we would’ve seen more of Rocket on Asgard. Please let there be a deleted scene somewhere!

Ninth, Thanos and his army comes into the future. It feels so right. Of course even though he knows he’s going to win in his current course, he’ll do something to ensure it stays. And how he manipulates past Nebula is honestly heartbreaking. There you see all Nebula ever wanted was to be loved. And she honestly went down doing what she thought her father wanted from her. 

Tenth, Nebula killing Nebula works on so many levels. Don’t tell me it’s a plot hole. This was such an important moment for her.  This was her truly letting go of her past. This was her letting go of wanting to please Thanos. Letting go of the anger she had for Gamora. Letting go of her self hatred. It was her becoming her own person.

Eleventh, the Battle Scene. 

I can’t get the GIF where they’re all together. But the simplicity of Steve’s “Assemble” Was just so beautiful I almost cried! This was literally 11 Years worth of movies coming together for one incredible moment. It had literally every able person fighting in one single moment. 

Twelfth, I swear I’m not a lesbian or bi or anything. But that A- Force moment where all the female heroes are together, gave me goosebumps. And am a little turn on? Either way it was incredible!!!!!!!! And there better be another moment like this in any other movie!

Thirteenth, I love, love, love that they killed Tony. Not because I hate Tony. In fact I love him. But he has been trying to die a heroes death since the literal beginning. Heck, IM1 began with him almost dying. He has been a martyr denied the right to die. And the best part was that he died surrounded by the one he loved, except for Morgan. The love of his life, his best friend, and the person he saw as a son. Do NOT say Peter isn’t his son. That hug was the way you hugged someone you thought you’d never see again. And it was heartbreaking. And it was amazing!! And I’m pretty sure he made sure Thanos was the last one dusted. And I love that! Like a suffer what I suffer moment where everything he worked for turned to ash.

Finally, complaints. I wished Harley, Lila, Cassie and Morgan played a bigger part. I understand why they didn’t. Truly I do. But I wanted to see a set up for the next generation outside of Peter. They need to do a new generation, passing of the torch thing in my opinion. Also, I wish that Thanos had been able to split Steve’s shield in half like Tony’s vision in AoU. Imagine how incredible it would’ve been if Tony saw that and Steve (Unconscious or dead) before he turned the tables on Thanos. That would’ve been awesome. 

I’m so curious how things will go from here. I’m not sorry for such a long post. MCU has played such a huge role in my life. I was 7 when the first Iron Man movie came out. And I have loved it ever since. I needed to share my thoughts. Please expect more. 

And one last thing, I don’t usually sponsor others but please for the love of MCU check out the One Marvelous Scene playlist. They all have so much to say and the YouTubers have so much to say in general.
