Excellent! - Save Ending

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2019)

While I enjoyed Avengers: Endgame, very much, I sympathize, quite profusely, with the death of Thanos and his people. People need sound-minded leaders lest they become bad - or at the very least are perceived as vile.
Thanos was a formidable force. But he was mad.
He and his people, subdued, would have made commodious allies to earth in an unraveling universe, once supplied a cure.
It takes strength - great strength, to not kill. It is for this reason I admire Superman.
I would have preferred an ending were Ironman destroyed the stones (as Thanos did, rendering a part of his body inept), and in doing so, ended his life-dying for earth, and Thanos' people in the process: showing compassion. Albiet the business of returning the stones, it is sacrifice like that that turns a lost people around and helps them see the light-especially when they know the alternative would have been their demise.
Earth, now, in the wake of her genocide, has opened herself - in the MCU - to further attacks by other formidable forces, which will no doubt see her as a virulent threat. "When you wipe out a whole people, word gets around. A just galaxy will inevitably demand accountability."
That said, or written - as it were - Endgame supplies an adequate ending for a blockbuster sequel: A cosmic reprisal of sorts.
