Finally we are now have the time to write about this blockbuster of a film. A film that brought all the movie houses to showcase this even in the wee hours in the morning. A film that allowed the same venues to allow rice meals into their theaters. All the things they allowed for you to endure three hours of endgame, the only thing they can't hold off is your need to go the bathroom.
After watching, your friends tell you to hold off your reviews and comments or they will brand you as a spoiler. Are they my friend? Really?
Its been a while now since Avengers Endgame has been shown and I think they won't mind if I do this right? With this review I will put some questions and comments that I shall raise as this movie created more questions than answers for me.
DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE FILM. LOTS OF SPOILERS HERE.
Okay. Let me start off that I like the movie starting off with Tony and Nebula was stuck in their spaceship trying to reach Earth. It shows its continuing from where Avengers Infinity War end off and they are starting with this one. Then Tony created a final video just in case he won't survive the journey.
[they had jump capability - why did Nebula didn't use it? If they were low in fuel or energy, Nebula would know where the nearest gas station would be]
Then they were rescued by Captain Marvel. Thank God her movie was shown a month before or else they won't be saved.
[where was Captain Marvel when Thanos attacked Thor's ship on his way to Earth?]
Then they were returned to Earth and Pepper was happy to see her husband alive albeit not kicking. Then the whole story turned into a sad note as all of them were depressed about losing to Thanos and lost half of the civilization. Good thing Captain Marvel was now around, and with a bit of luck, they were able to pinpoint Thanos retirement home and subdue him. They wanted to get hold of the Infinity gauntlet to hopefully snap back those who where "dusted", only to find out that their rescue plan was a bit late. The stones were "dusted" by Thanos to prevent anyone doing the thing the Avengers would be doing.
[destroying the stones means the balance of the universe will be unbalanced of sorts as narrated later on by the Ancient One. How was Thanos able to destroy the stones yet the Universe remains intact?]
They were late to the rescue and languished for 5 more years trying to find an alternative. Some of them have already accepted their fate and even Tony Stark accepted this. His family was still complete and his only remorse is, he lost the kid named Spiderman. He was over him already when suddenly Antman came back from the Quantum Realm and finally the Avengers had a chance to bring back the dusted back to life. A plan that brought back Tony Stark back in the fold and created a time GPS. A device not conceived by Hank Pym, the guy who created the Antman Suit.
[Janet Van Dyne, who was stuck in the Quantum Realm for most decades, mentioned to Scott Lang not to get stuck to the time vortex there. Why were no time vortex shown in the endgame? If time works differently in the Quantum Realm, why did Janet age when he she was rescued? She could have remained young like what happened to Scott when he was stuck there in Infinity War? His 5 hour stay there was 5 years in real time.]
With the time GPS, they were able to travel back in time to get the infinity stones.
[It was fortunate for them that Hank Pym, who was dusted, was able to produce and left them Pym Particles enough for them to travel to and back for one time. Although the suit was designed by Tony Stark, the whole thing was powered by the Pym Particles. We liked the idea of creating a twist for Captain America and Ironman to travel back further in time to get more of the Pym Particle and get the power stone. Nice touch there. Now the greatest question I had was, when the old Nebula operated the Quantum Machine, how was she able to bring the 2014 Thanos and his gang and his huge ship to 2019? She only had 1 Pym Particle when the new Nebula was caught back in 2014.]
[another case in point - during the procurement of the stones, the power stone was lost in the battle of new york when Loki picked it up and vanished in a void. Where did he go with it? How did it affect the future time continuum? I guess we will be seeing Loki in the next Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3]
[Tony Stark was able to create his own infinity gauntlet so I guess he is at par with Eitri. The same guy who created Thanos' gauntlet, and Mjolnir and Storm Breaker. He is truly a genius.]
In the end, they were able to bring back all who were dusted and was able to join in the greatest cosmic battle ever to happen in the universe, on earth.
[I was wondering how there were able to fit all those armies, mostly space aliens, in that part of the United States. Where were the US Airforce, Army, Marines, National Guard, or better yet, why were no civilians running? I would be alarmed even if I don't live there. These are more comments or questions that don't need to be answered. I just wondered.]
[If 2014 Nebula died, will the 2019 Nebula still exist?]
To close out the Marvel Universe Phase 3, they had to kill off the superhero that we loved the most and who started it all. Guess who that guy is, we won't tell.
[in the requiem, all the superhero movies were seen grieving for the fallen hero. First question - who was that handsome lad that was shown alone? We later knew he was the kid in Ironman 3 who created the potato gun. Will he be the Iron Lad in Phase 4? All the heroes were grouped according to their films, then why did Cobie Mulders character Maria Hill all alone and Nick Fury was later found to be in the patio? They are usually seen together but this time, they weren't.]
In conclusion, the three hours playtime was well worth the time spent to create a storyline to end the Phase 3 of the MCU. If you like action and some twists, then watch Avengers Infinity War. This movie isn't for you. This one had all the thought process built into. This creates a feeling of sadness for the loss of love ones and of how they struggled to bring them back. A feeling of joy reverberates when they are finally back and joined the living fight off the 2014 Thanos.
We raised a lot of questions here, and more are coming as we keep on watching Avengers Endgame over and over again. We feel that these question were not answered as they would not fit in the 3 hour playtime they already had. Maybe, just maybe they will be answered in 1) in the Directors Cut DVD/ Blueray that will be coming out soon as extended versions 2) a video clip of answers coming from the Russo brothers in that same DVD or Blueray or 3) will be in the next movies under MCU Phase 4.
If you have answers to my questions, be my guest and email them at submit.katooga@gmail.com. I am a fan of the Marvel movies, but not of the comics so clearly I will miss a lot of parts in between. My questions were raised as per the story telling perspective. Thanks in advance for your answers.
