Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Even though years have passed since the release of Avengers: Endgame, rewatching the movie prompts some major realizations. The MCU’s movie timeline came to a critical point in 2019 with Avengers: Endgame, which marked the ending of the franchise’s Infinity Saga. As the culmination of 11 years of build-up, Endgame marked one of the biggest cinematic experiences in modern movies.
Endgame’s story starts with a follow-on from Infinity War, but the interconnectivity runs far deeper. It’s intrinsically connected to the stories of several other movies and post-credits scenes in the MCU, with multiple plot points following on from various points in the franchise. As such, there are many elements of the movie that just don’t work when watched from a standalone viewpoint.
Upon rewatching, it’s all too clear that the MCU can’t ever replicate Endgame’s success. A huge part of its appeal was the unique and novel promise of seeing so many heroes bring about a definitive end to the Infinity Saga. Other movies in similar positions, such as Avengers: Secret Wars, will be at a distinct disadvantage as they lack a novelty component, and will be endlessly compared to Endgame.
Iron Man’s death was undoubtedly the biggest takeaway from Endgame’s conclusion, and has been the most influential in terms of the MCU’s future. In hindsight, I also realized that it has created an impossible situation for the franchise: by killing off the MCU’s most popular hero in a heartfelt and honorable way, there’s no good way to resurrect him.
The balance is further upset by Endgame’s inconsistent focus. Specific characters are given much more focus than others, and it doesn’t necessarily represent their actual contribution to its story. Ant-Man, for example, is heavily featured in the movie, despite having relatively little to do in the grand scheme of things. This approach to Endgame’s cast makes it feel more than a little imbalanced, and it’s hard to ignore on rewatching.
