- Clickbait Title: Everyone Who Dies In Avengers Endgame
And, yes, I realize that even by suggesting that someone does, in fact, die in Endgame could be construed as a spoiler because addressing the idea of a subject, even devoid of details, is already an indicator that the subject is relevant to the film.
I feel like with Endgame we have truly reached the apotheosis of spoiler-aversion. It has been so thoroughly hijacked by marketing forces that even reasonable discussion is viewed as hostility, that wanting to talk about movies is characterized as a betrayal of the movie itself.

I didn't like how the burrito subplot was pretty much dropped at the end of the film.
the reason there are five whole burritos left at the end is because Dan couldn't eat them until they undid the burrito snap
@@wishonpleiades6288 I can confirm, this is explained if you read the pop-up book series that the film was inspired by.
How was Dan able to eat those burritos with no training? We never actually SEE him LEARNING how to chew and swallow. This is OBJECTIVELY BAD WRITING.
Dan is such a Mary Sue.
@@enigma19833 *It's mexican food, so technically he's a Maria Sue.*
all these damn burrito based plot holes. at least five burrito plot holes by my count, and i could keep goin. the plot holes are all over this vlog...
Spoiler: Dan doesn't finish all ten burritos by the end of the film.
dude...
I wanna be that person reading some comments before watching this and having zero context
Comon mate!
For fuck sake a guy cant even watch a sad guy eating some burritos
Read this two minutes in and walked out the theatre. He better fix that in the sequel "I know I said you shouldn't order ten burritos but depression struck again".
bigger cliffhanger than Infinity War
I thought this video wouldn't actually spoil Endgame but it did.
I thought every burrito would be eaten but they didn't.
Big twists.
You should probably put a spoiler warning on this.
Same! Wow, glad I got to share this experience with another fan
THANKS FOR THE SPOILERS :(
This video confirms that the movie film Avengers: Endgame does in fact contain spoilers for the movie film Avengers: Endgame. I was going to see it but now I know to avoid it so it doesn't get spoiled. Thanks for the heads up!
You spoiled the video now smh
I feel like the character of Amy did not get enough lines or any burritos.
dominomasked Just another underrepresented cat...
And yet, the entire blog came to a halt just to give Amy screen time. Clear pandering to the feline demographic.
Omg I'm dying, did he really sit in a crowded theater for 3 hours with 7 taco bell burritos in his bag?
"The MCU that has been just _bloating_ and building for the last decade, twenty-some-odd movies, it's like 'okay, it's over. We are free".
I am _so,_ _so_ sorry, Past Dan. We're perpetually enslaved by our Mouse Overlord.
Dear God, this only gets more true every day.
Thankfully, you aren't forced to watch it... Yet
Except it *is* kind of true (also lmao I'm sorry I wrote like three paragraphs for a topic that didn't call for it).
Not in the sense that we're actually rid of these movies. By all indications, Disney will continue cranking these out until the heat-death of the universe, because they've boiled the whole process down to a reliable enough formula that it's highly unlikely (or it will take the bottom falling out of Hollywood as a whole) for them to not make money on these.
But I think for a lot of people, Endgame acting as the endpoint to almost all of the major plot points for basically all the Marvel movies up to that point provided a viable off-ramp. Like I cannot honestly say I have given a damn about any of these movies since then. And I wasn't like one of the anti-Marvel movie crowd; I *liked* a lot of these. But by the time the credits rolled on Endgame, I was kind of just... exhausted, for lack of a better term? It was so many movies, for so long, all building up to this extravaganza. I was done. That was the emotional release. The end of a decade of build-up. There wasn't any reason for me to keep going.
It's not even about the (perfectly legitimate) criticisms you can lob at the whole project, although those are fair and they don't increase my motivation to see the newer Marvel films. It's not even about superhero fatigue (although, again, that's not helping, either). The new movies could be legitimately good movies, genre aside (and maybe some of them are; I don't know, that's kind of the point), but it wouldn't matter because I can't *do it* again. It's too much. I'm burned out. And I know from talking to others that I'm not the only one.
For some reason I thought this would be Dan offering people burritos in exchange for spoiling Endgame for them...
Major missed opportunity. Hopefully someone will step up and make that video, because it would be amazing.

You're sitting on an EZ 5MIL VIEWS!

I'm subbing to everyone in this thread.. this video better fucking happen. I don't have a good camera, I'd only get 40 views from some boomers..

"Aaamy"
*Amy proceeds to move towards a knife*
It was great. There was a lot more full frontal male nudity than I expected though.
Was there a sixty feet tall blue dude with his balls dangling in the air?
But not as much full frontal male nudity as I'd hoped
Harrison McKenzie
Really?? I thought there wasn’t enough....
@@kseriousr Zack Snyder already made that movie.
Oh no. Alan Moore will be SO PISSED.
I agree about the big girl power moment. It was completely unearned. You can’t just ignore all the women for 2.5 hours and then pretend like because they assemble then women have had good representation.
The first hour was really introspective, but the last hour was kinda fanservicey. Man, though, there was some GREAT use of wide shots
The whole middle section was just kind of _there,_ though.
OMG man, you should put a spoiler warning if you're going to say stuff like that, some of us haven't seen the film yet
I can tell you're talking about Endgame.
I watched the whole video and it is nothing like that. It's just one guy eating burritos. It isn't even 10 minutes long, how can the first hour mean anything?
@@droidBasher Can't tell if woosh or if I am woosh.
My favourite part is when Amy took the gauntlet and made infinite burritos
That was a real plot twist! I expected her to push half the universe off the counter.
Are the burritos a visual metaphor for the movies, in which we had way more than we needed or actually wanted and we're just trying to force-feed ourselves with more content not out of hunger or genuine enjoyment but a sense of commitment to an arbitrary and meaningless product?
yi
Nah, his mind goblins just demanded 10 burritos. It's a nice round number, and it's divisible by 5.
Well shit, it is now. Deep dude.
No, they’re chorizo.
I feel like the first third of your comment was really introspective, but at the end it was a bit heavy on fanservice. Nice use of wide statements though!
Y’know I was pretty wishy-washy/ambivalent about your perspective on spoilers until I saw the Twitter backlash to this video and nowwwww I get it for sure on what it does to conversations about media.
Scarlet Witch has all of the necessary components to be a really badass character but she’s never quite there.
Because only Whedon cared enough to _do_ anything with the character, lol
Paradox Acres I mean the comic writers largely care enough to do anything w her ? like it’s def weirder to NOT be interested in making her cool as hell than to be interested in it bc she’s literally and explicitly the most powerful hero in marvel canon. idk how the films ignore that? comics Wanda could probs beat thanos on her own
@@BeccaMoses "canon" is a pretty bad idea. There are probably dozens of Marvel characters who, "in canon", became "the most powerful hero" for some stretch of time, often in year two of their solo series, if they ever got one. It's a lot better to focus on writing a good story than on "canon".
Well this comment aged interestingly.
Commenting from the future where she DOES finally get there
5:21 "I wasn't getting into anything!"
Amy's a precious fluff cat.
41%
Your pfp is so cute!! Is it a picrew?
I like how the first act is silly and it makes it look like there won’t actually be any spoilers, and the final act is serious and totally spoils the Endgame.
At 5:20 or so Amy looks the most guilty I have seen a cat look for a while. I love her so much.
I hope you feel better soon. Depression is awful.
Oh, boy, isn't it?
I love hearing the voices people use to talk to their pets, it's the most wholesome thing
No matter how depressed you are... 10 burritos us always too many.
nah man you gotta dig deeper into that hole and you'll find the ceaseless void necessary for those last few burritos
If you're truly depressed once you are full you can wait until you're hungry again looking uninterruptedly to the void. Easily getting to the 10 burritos mark
If you're depressed enough any size pizza can be a personal pan sized pizza.
Marvel needs to make another avengers movie so Dan can vlog about it and finish off the remaining four burritos
After the years it would take to make another avengers movie, those same burritos would probably still be safe to eat.
Avengers: Endier Game
Hmm, dunno, Marvel really don't tend to like making movies very often.
He can then make a time maschine and travel back to past then when they were still good.
@@amitthehuman Avengers: Postgame Afterparty.
I was complaining about the women's yearbook photo thing to my partner, then I started to feel crazy because I always go full on angry feminist with movies... but I watched this immediately after and you saying the same thing makes me feel so much better.
I'm not crazy, It's there. This shit is everywhere.
Yep, I felt the same. It was just a shallow Hollywood move giving lip-service to ideals they really couldn't care less about.
It felt like a studio's marketing move.
"See all the strong female characters in our movie! We're so feminist now!"
Meanwhile, all the superheroes were basically "Abercrombie and Finch" models, and the only person who didn't fit Hollywood's toxic beauty standards was ridiculed the entire movie about "being fat" and "being less of a man"!
You know Hollywood's feminism is fake when they support the toxic patriarchical standards for masculinity, 😒🤬
Thor, didn't deserve the ridicule and humiliation he got, 😫
“Sorry we fridged a beloved character!”
“Here’s an image you can put on your feminist T-shirts! You’re welcome, Women.”
(“This is what feminism is, right? Pictures of women all standing together not smiling?”)
@@galgacus832 Dang it! A more succinct ironic comment that extrapolates my point in a much more digestible way!
Touche! You win round one internet nerd, but I vow to one up you in round two, 😼!
Aye, it's an absolute pisstake. Often is.
Not saying you're wrong re: the beloved character, but.. does every death of a female main character count as "fridging" now? I thought fridging was when a female character was killed for no other reason than to give a male character motivation or development (i.e. the typical "dead girlfriend" example). I'm not that's what happened to the beloved character whose name I won't spoil.
"It feels insubstantial."
Compare that to a movie like Into the Spider-Verse which, while similarly straightforward, demands your attention and thought afterwards.
10 minute long shitposts. This is the content I subscribed for
the poor food choices because of a depressive mood is so real god bless love the content
also amy is perfect
Nearly a two years later, I find myself much more interested in what Amy is getting into than remembering what happened in Endgame.
6 Infinity Stones
6 Burritos
I’m a fan so I don’t believe in coincidences
About burritos:
So, one time during high school me and my friends were going to spend all weekend playing DnD and doing other assorted stupid things. My friend's parents were gone for the weekend, so it was just us.
One of my friends (the rich one) decided that he would subsist off of chalupas the entire weekend. So, we pulled into the Taco Bell drive through and it went something like this:
"Welcome to Taco Bell, do you want " (I forget w/e abomination was the special at this time) "?"
"No thanks, I would like forty seven chalupas. No lettuce."
". . . seven chalupas?"
"No, forty. seven. chalupas. No we aren't high, our friend is just an idiot."
"One moment please"
What followed was, I'm sure, a frantic conversation with the cook staff, the manager, and the 'your order will take less then 5 minutes sign'.
"Ok, the total will be xx" I forget, but it was in the 50-60 dollar range.
We then pull up to the window and see the entire crew frantically stuffing chalupas into wrappers.
SOBs made it under the time limit, props were due. A $100 bill was exchanged, and we had a good weekend.
But yeah, 10 burritos bad. 47 Chalupas (no lettuce) probably worse, health wise.
I love this story, and I hope that someday, it makes it into a book or movie. Thank you for sharing.
But which one was the REAL Gundren Rockseeker?
Maybe the real Gundren Rockseeker were the friends we made along the way. Or maybe he became a nuclear bomb, nobody will ever know.
Wait, what does D&D have to do with Endgame?
Luciano de Moraes Petersen Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this lol
Dat one is a bad boi! With all kinds of sinister magics.
Wait, I'm confused about the movie. So the cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up?
What are you talking about? There's nothing like that in there.
Hey, no spoiling Hobbs & Shaw.
Well there s a rat in the last shot and it's like because there's a rat in the force
Theon told them that. Or was it Jaime? XD
Is that a The Simpsons reference? Nice.
Alberta politics has me depressed too, I feel you.
Man, I've done such a good job of avoiding Endgame spoilers. I don't even know when the movie is coming out! Hopefully soon
I don’t watch these movies, Good to know Chris Evans really did retire to return to making weird indie movies he seems like a nice fellow. I totally just want a burrito now so badly. I think Taco Bell is still open
Im gonna demand he reprises the role of Lucas Lee
I need the first 10 seconds as a ring tone. I love the cadence, I love the humour that speaks to my dark and broken early-born millennial soul. But regardless, thank you Foldable Human, for talking about things I think about, but haven't found the right words for.
Wait, so Dan didn't just snap his fingers to eliminate half of all the burritos?
Alternate clickbait title: What Is My Cat Getting Into?
Dude. Amy does your dishes. Crazy.
I can't wait for Let's Spoil The Endgame: Endgame coming out on April 26th, 2020 where we find out what happened to the remaining 4 burritos that weren't eaten.
I can't believe you didn't even mention the part where Snape killed Dumbledore.
What? Dumbledore was dead all along! (And also Harry's father.)
I want to spoil the Amy
Yes! Seeing Amy be cute reminded me to get up and and give my own cats some attention. Cats deserve all the pats and adoration ^_^
PurpleGhost They must appreciate having such a nice owner! Even if they go full ‘cat mode’ and refuse to acknowledge your love and attention ;)
I felt like the alternate title could have been "Avengers: Closure"
Avengers: Completionism
The real spoilers are the fiery diarrhea we made along the way

That whole thing about so much being vaguely inconclusive and insubstantial with weird small writing problems within what looks to be a well-oiled machine kind of sums up everything that puts me off the mainline MCU films, save for the fact that, to whit, I'm just kind of not an action movie guy.
More like Let's Spoil Amy, am I right
60 seconds in, and you haven't talked about having to piss -- what the hell?
Go beforehand. Don't buy 80 ounces of carbonated caffeine and chug it down during the previews. Problem solved.
@@aradraugfea But if I don't spend more than the price of my ticket on concessions, have I really seen the movie?
Was this really three hours long? I went home after Thanos got punked.
You're the only valid one
Consider the rest an after credit scene.
i'm guessing you didn't have to pay for your ticket
i didnt hear any spoilers cause i was lost in his eyes
Inappropriate.
but true
I noticed that while my friend was watching this on their TV. He's got really nice eyes.
Tickets have been that long at the movie theatre in my town since the late 90s.
I have not seen Endgame, but I love spoilers, so everything is fine.
the sheer sadness with which you said "but no they just...punch eachother..." really sums up the mcu for me lol
What’s wrong with punching? That final battle was the spectacle we wanted, just everyone tearing in on Thanos.
Mordalon I felt like this final punching was earned a lot more than most of them
@@Mordalon Punching is kinda painful, not as much as getting punched yourself admittedly, but it still isn't pleasant. I personally would not recommend it.
@@Mordalon "you're wrong because we can beat you up" being the entire rationale of both Thanos and the people fighting him kind of sucks the life out of everything. Even the ultimate baddie these movies have built up is just a brainless thug.
Ira Shantz-Kreutzkamp Do you expect them to sit down and have a well reasoned debate? They both have fundamentally different world views, it doesn’t mean that they are brainless because they put achieving them over debating something that’s not going to change.
Last time I was this early half of the universe was alive
@Wednesday La Rocha it's been 12 years, we're not here anymore.... Please... Move on... We will always love you

Dan, I don't burrito-shame. You do you, pal.
I think the idea behind "I don't even know who you are" was kinda supposed to be like that line in the moral combat movie (Paraphrasing) "For you It was the most important day of your life, but for me it was Tuesday"
I hadn't actually considered the fact he has no idea who any of these people are until now.
Coco had similar line
-I don't even think about you
Or something similar
Some people say Dan is still out there, trying sadly to finish all those burritos.
His failure is..... inevitable.
"It doesn't matter how depressed you are, if your brain tells you to buy ten burritos... don't do it."
Sage advice.
EDIT: You're not the only one who's feeling catharsis. I've watched maybe three of these movies and even I'm feeling sorta grateful that this is all finally over.
Finally over? You sweet summer child...
Over for 3months till Spiderman's EuroTrip is out and then it's back for 11 more years...
Over? Nah, I'm sure they'll do a remake of Endgame in like six years.
Theres like 20 movies in the works we will never be free
This video filled the void in my life with a pleasant parasocial relationship for a brief moment. Thank you.
If time travel is the linchpin of the climax, why isn't this "Avengers: Opening" or "Midgame"?
Honestly watching someone depression eat burritos while explaining a movie that was just ok, is the best thing I've ever seen on youtube. Please do more of these
Came for the Endgame analysis, stayed for the man playing with a kitty
Wait a minute I thought Dan had pivoted to Fortnite?
I had to scroll really far down to find this.
@@LimeyLassen For once youtube has prevented my bad comments from being seen.
9:00 I didn't even think about that that would've been fantastic, she could've shown him all the suffering he caused then either he could have a moment of regret or up his assholery with the intention to double down and I'm actually really disappointed that didn't happen now
It's interesting coming back to this after a few years and a bunch of Disney+ shows. Especially the last comment about how Dan thought Scarlet Witch was going to show Thanos the impact of what he did but instead they just... punched each other. Because ain't that just an apt description of every goddamn MCU TV show.
Bruv he just killed her robot boyfriend 5 minutes ago (from her perspective), she was there to kill his ass for revenge, not talk-no jutsu him lmao.
Ngl steve getting to live a full life made me bawl more than any of the deaths. I was prepared for deaths, was not prepared for something nice like slow dancing
I’m so happy for him. I’m glad that the character is still around.
"It's over. We are free." Perfectly describes my feelings of the MCU.
Why? They are still making movies. I thought it was great.
Mordalon
I am just tired of the mcu. The super hero genre (especially the mcu) has become stale. I feel like every movie just keeps doing the same damn dance. Then we get a bigger dance when one of the team movies comes out.
Sorry if I'm not making much sense, I'm getting literally tired from a long day.
@@TheFreakDownStreet Who's making you see these movies then? And lots of movies that share genres are going to be similar. What makes the films different and fun is in the details. Watching a Guardians movie is not the same experience as watching Captain America, even if both are big scifi action films.
And I guess spoons make you fat? Just stop watching them.
Mordalon
The mcu isn't just similar, they feel interchangeable. All the same rating, all the same tone. They just feel dull. GotG is the only real exception, but that's mostly because of its space opera-ness.
I haven't seen Captain Marvel. But the fact that Captain Marvel literally just shows up at the start to save the plot, goes away, and then shows up at the end and destroys Thanos' big bad spaceship (effectively rescuing the plot again), and they continually explain that she isn't there and "why"...
It feels like all the old jokes about Justice League - "they have Superman, why have anyone else in the League?"
Where are the stakes, when she's involved?
But Dan's comment about Scarlet Witch not showing Thanos who she is and why he should care seems... a glaring omission. I didn't realise until now. Sad.
You haven't watched the movie, she doesn't just immediately save the day. And she has a pretty damn good reason for not hanging around Earth 24/7.
@@Mordalon be honest with yourself, blowing up Thanos' ship basically turns the tide of the battle and lets them have the fight over the infinity gauntlet for the final moments.
She basically rescues the plot. She's not a Deus Ex Machina, because she doesn't outright *solve* the plot when she does.
@@JammyD2579 I never said it didn't turn the tide, but her intervention doesn't automatically win the day. The Superman problem is that he can do that, just win whenever he wants to, but that's not the case here.
Watching this has thrown off my youtube recommendations so hard.
9:00 i actually liked that scene, it made thanos look even more convinced. he doesnt even care who this magical girl is crying at him
It reminded me of that often quoted Bison line from Street Fighter. "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. For me, it was Tuesday."
People: Don't spoil Endgame! Dan: I've got a bag full of Taco Bell, your argument is invalid.
I'm loving the burrito counter.
*4 burritos remaining*
Is that a cliff hanger for a sequel??
Gotta watch the post-credits.
I went to Del Taco once and tried to order 3 burritos, but accidentally ordered 8. That was the best night of my life. I was burrito rich.
I did this at my school food place thing but it was that I accidentally ordered 89 hashbrowns even though I actually wrote "&a hashbrown" and it didn't even look particularly close, but they only made me 30 hashbrowns (and they were really angry like "here's 30 we're not making you 89 hashbrowns", and I just played it off like "oh sorry" instead of saying I only wanted one). But still a lot. I was a god.
Oh boy, this was great! If I may suggest a video essay for you guys to do next, there was this film I watched called 'At Eternity's Gate', and the cinematography was... interesting. I would just love a video of you analyzing or making fun of the film and it's choices.
I would dare to say it's not about "this Thanos." It's about what Thanos embodies. The terrible, tyrannical, narcissistic father. It goes back to everything the series began with, Tony's struggle between self-involvement and heroism. That's the thing that does the most work to redeem Iron Man 2, btw.
I thought the metaphor was a little on the nose, what with Thanos eating good children and whatnot.
@@wilddogspam He eated what?! 😱
@@VashdaCrash the myth
I have the same feelings. Really enjoyed it (even cried), didn't think about it the second i left the theatre, don't care about watching it or talking about it again. If someone asks: "watch it, it's amazing", if no one asks don't even remember about it existence.
This happened to me with every other Russo MCU movie. I need someone like you to explain me why that is.
I still don't get why everyone treats Civil War like some amazing political thriller. It's not bad, but the conflict doesn't go much further than "Captain America fights the evil government".
my takeaway:
Avengers Endgame = 10 Burritos
yes, i approve of this metaphor.
To be precise, 1 hot burrito, 1 warm burrito, 3 cold burritos, and 4 burritos in the freezer.
if we're getting that "metaphorical": 1 hot, 2 warm, 3 lukewarm, 1 cold, and 3 freezer.
I'm happy. It felt like the closing of a very large book. Like they're saying, if you never want to see another comic book movie again, that's okay. You can outside and play now. (And DC executives are flipping over alllll the tables now in the most epic tantrum ever.)
I really liked the Amy subplot. It was subtle but well executed.
I was actually riveted for the first... was it an hour? I thought it was just a half an hour. Anyways, I thought it was great. It completely refuted Thanos's spiel about how killing half the universe would make life better for everybody, because it didn't. Everyone's just traumatized, and trying to deal with the losses. I would have loved to watch an entire movie about superheroes coming to terms with their new reality.
So if you don't like superhero movies, the first 30-60 minutes of Avengers: The Endgame gets 4 stars from me.
I'm still surprised they haven't done anything with the Five years, like that's such a large amount of time that everyone just seems to shrug off as "Oh that happened." Even the characters who directly mention it like in FFH and MoM are just treated as side gags instead of people who had to suffer through five years of not knowing if their friends/family would ever come back
The two-foot receipt I get now is just unreasonable.
So I loved that after watching this video like later that day I get a twitter notification of dan saying he finished the last burrito it was great
i love you so much you're amazing, never stop being great.
But Thanos already saw the consequences of what he did... through Nebula's memory scans... or whatever. And even if Scarlet Witch did make him experience all those events mentally & personally to the point of possible remorse... I would argue that Thanos has consistently been portrayed as a character who is so driven by ego that he'd find some way to justify all the horrible stuff he did one way or another.
The first 6 seconds of this video is an actual mood
Damn it, Dan! I waited to watch this video until after I had seen Endgame so I wouldn't have Endgame spoiled, but if only I had watched your video first, I would've known that watching Endgame will spoil Endgame for you.
WARNING: Avengers: Endgame contains SPOILERS for Endgame.
That's bullet-proof logic right there.
2 seconds away from 10 minutes to spite youtube
You have a Mabari plush!!!!! I find this utterly delightful.
I scrolled down through so many comments hoping I wasn't the only person who noticed this.
I felt like maybe it would have been neat if it had been a time loop, where Thanos was sent back to the past but under the impression that he'd win, leading to him in Infinity war seeing himself as 'destiny' and all that, certain that he'll be victorious, which would have at least made him the same PERSON, but even then you'd still have the same issue of this Thanos having no connection to the heroes.
this was the most albertan vlog ive ever seen. I love it
came for the tea on the latest overbaked Marvel juggernaut - the beautiful feline co-presenter was an unexpected, and exemplary, bonus. 12/10
This video taught me that I'm not the only one who buys food whenever depression kicks in. It's weird being sad only to buy a large pizza and eat it all in one sitting, but for some reason it works.
Out of all the reviews, this is the best review for endgame ive come across
I just love all of this. Good job. :)
9:08 Yeah, right..aside from Joss Whedon _nobody_ knows how to use Scarlet Witch properly. Say what you want about him, but Whedon's Scarlet Witch (and Vision) felt like a proper character. At least power-wise.
Scarlet Witch showing Thanos all the consequences of his actions followed by him doing his genocidal sadboy routine and saying that it was still worth the cost would have been a really cool moment and also definitely a spoiler for Avengers: Endgame
How would that have been cool?
I love your comment about, compared to Infinity War, there's relief instead of loss. I felt like a piece of my soul had left after IW but I was over Endgame by the start of the second act.
Why? I thought it was cathartic and a nice payoff and celebration of the last decade.
@@Mordalon People have different opinions about stuff, dude.
@@mutantfreak48 I know, that's why I asked Why, so I can understand other opinions, dude.
@@Mordalon It was, but that's exactly why it wasn't emotionally investing. Happiness is fleeting; sadness is persistent. Endgame was fun; IW was *good*. Endgame was a checklist of things that either (1) had to happen so that the MCU can continue or (2) the fans clamored for; IW was a tightly focused narrative. The first act of Endgame was like Infinity War, so I enjoyed it; by the second act, I knew everything was going to be fine, so I decoupled. I still enjoyed the ride, but the tension was gone.
@@christopherverdery1294 We knew everything would be fine ultimately from the beginning. If you thought the heroes wouldn't ultimately succeed, then you are really out of the loop on superhero stories. And just because we knew certain actors weren't likely to return doesn't mean the emotional tension was gone. It's about HOW they retire. Tony and Steve's fates were entirely different.
And I don't see the problem with the ending being a bunch of things that people wanted. Again, it's a celebration of the MCU, so I can only imagine you weren't invested in the ending if you don't care about the MCU, at which point I have to wonder what you are even doing watching this film.
1:25 - I realised at that moment what I was watching. This is the content I live for.
