Some good moments, but ruined characters

Rating: 5/10 (26 April 2019)

Endgame has some really fun and epic moments. It also has some very emotional moments. But this movie is far from a "love letter" to fans of the OG6 Avengers, as some critics have claimed. Far from it. Endgame basically steamrolls over 10 years of character development for most of the OG6, especially Tony, Steve, and Thor. I was extremely disappointed with how these characters were treated, because they deserved so much better than Endgame. Instead of resolving their character arcs in a satisfying and sensical way, the Russos decided to go for meaningless shock value and "fanservice" that only makes sense to them (and not the majority of fandom). This is like Age of Ultron all over again, except much more depressing and upsetting. A shameful end to a wonderful saga.
