Heartbreaking, just like you'd expect. But unexpected in so many different ways

Rating: 10/10 (25 April 2019)

I've been a fan of the MCU since 2010, when the first Captain America movie was released and to be honest, knowing that the cast's contracts will be ending in this movie I couldn't ask for a better culmination for the 21-film journey. Even the characters I used to hate, I began to see the light in them after watching Avengers: Endgame. Although previous Avengers franchises have barely shown a great deal towards Natasha Romanoff, I'm glad that in this movie they were able to showcase the attributes and personality she was able to unfold throughout all the films and morph them into one scene. I've grown appreciation towards her in this movie and I'd like to commend Scarlett Johansson for her infamous portrayal of the character. I've been a fan of Iron Man since his first movie although I've barely shown avid interest due to its release being in my younger years. But he has always been my all-time favorite Avenger and his departure scene in the film has made me feel several things: bravery, appreciation, and love despite him being a fictional comic character. I've grown attachment towards Tony, Pepper, Rhodey, Happy, the Iron Man family and even Peter Parker that's been close to Tony in the recent events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline. Although upset about his death because of the fact that he started it all, I would gladly appreciate the efforts Robert Downey Jr. has put on the character for the past 11 years. We were able to see the growth and transformation of a narcissistic, playboy, and goody two shoes Tony Stark and at the same time love the surprisingly warm-hearted, intelligent and creative inventor of the Avengers superhero team.
Chris Evans has always openly shown his love for Captain America since day 1. He is his biggest fan and to see his final farewell in this movie; with it being so obviously expressed in the film in several moments brought tears to my eyes. Despite it being beautifully produced and perfectly directed, the family, friendship and lessons learned all throughout the MCU journey will always remain intact. And me being emotionally attached to the characters and the community will miss the theories and element of surprise and excitement when waiting for the next film. Other than that, Avengers: Endgame; fan or not has shown an exquisite portrayal of what it is to say goodbye to a lifelong worth of friendship and memories; and that a part of the journey is the end.
