Years of meticulous world-building finally culminated in a parade of all-roads-lead-here haymakers, delivering on the Russo\u2019s promise of perfect endings. Has the overall MCU suffered from a syndrome of mass-marketed appeal, interchangeable villains, and general safety in regard to handling dramatic moments? Yes, and I stand by all previous comments, tweets, and articles. That said, full admission,\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Endgame<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0is the motherload payoff once thought unachievable. I, a former doubter, now write these words as one of the converted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">My intake of Marvel\u2019s blockbuster boom has been that of a knowledgeable outsider without an encyclopedic knowledge. I can name and recognize heroes, villains, archetypes, and common-to-medium level attributes, but never the deepest panel cuts or variant lesser-publicized runs. Robert Downey Jr. is my Tony Stark, Chris Evans my Captain America, so on and so forth. I\u2019ve watched H.Y.D.R.A\u00a0 infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D, the Avengers unite under\u00a0Fury-ous\u00a0circumstances, and\u00a0Thanos\u00a0attempt to vaporize half of Earth\u2019s inhabitants &#8211; but until\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Endgame<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">, it all (mostly) felt like spectating from afar. Don\u2019t get me wrong, my appreciation for the MCU runs thick as blood for James Gunn\u2019s roguish <em>Guardians<\/em> to a brimming satisfaction over Wakanda\u2019s representation, but much of the MCU\u2019s establishment hit me on a casual, popcorn-flick level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">That was until the Avengers <em>truly<\/em> assembled in\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Endgame<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A daunting challenge, as\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Endgame\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">needed Stephen\u00a0Strange\u2019s\u00a0precision scalpel to dissect and reconnect every MCU\u00a0throughline\u00a0left unattended.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Even more intimidating,\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Endgame<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019s duty to rectify\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Infinity War<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019s apocalyptic \u201cSnappening\u201d would be the greatest challenge any MCU director could face &#8211; something I didn\u2019t think\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Infinity War<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0handled all that well.

A bookmark finale I, someone failed numerous times by fleeting MCU permanence, reacted to with nothing but indifference. I walked out of the theater feeling\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Infinity War <\/span><\/i>wa<span data-contrast=\"none\">s the setup we all knew was coming to a fault. A watchable fault, but still, \u201cPart I\u201d of the MCU\u2019s shakeup sold nothing more than record on-screen hero totals.

Par for the course and all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That\u2019s me, laughing at myself, the cocky moviegoer who sat between a birthday party of children who couldn\u2019t have attended anything before Phase Two in theaters and a couple who smartly brought homemade snacks in plastic containers. When the house lights dimmed, it became evident by the cheers and hollers bursting with anticipation that I, nestled in for a comfortable watch, was on a lower energy spectrum than those screaming for Phase Three\u2019s climax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">And then\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Avengers: Endgame<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0opened on Clint Barton\u2019s family enjoying a rustic outdoor farmhouse lunch. He trains daughter Lila in archery while wife Laura prepares hot dogs with either mustard or mayo (I know, mayo is weird, blame one of Barton\u2019s sons). Clint turns to grab one of Lila\u2019s shot arrows, a bullseye no less, and upon spinning back around, notices his family has disappeared. Gone forever, floating away as specs of ash caught in an upward spiral. This was it.

It\u2019s one thing to watch Peter Parker dematerialize as Tony sobs, far removed from greater humanity in intergalactic orbit. Clint\u2019s perspective grants us a hero\u2019s view after stashing his costume for a bit of earned leave, unable to stay out of the fray or protect those he loves even by exiting the greater fight. Tragedy, stakes, and choked-back tears within minutes of the\u00a0Russos\u2019 perfect introduction into\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Endgame<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2019s severity.
