Moviegoers from hardcore fans to casual viewers have followed the characters’ growth just as we’ve grown ourselves. These six heroes (Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye) were characters that debuted in the first phase of the MCU (2008-2012) and continued to appear in films since. Most notably, the original six heroes brought together in the first Avengers film in 2012 serve as the core cast of the film. The few Avengers that survived the snap all held major roles in Endgame in defeating Thanos and bringing back the fallen. Following the events of last year’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” Thanos was victorious in collecting all six infinity stones and snapped away half of all life in the universe leaving the remaining Avengers to either live with their failures or fight back.
“Avengers: Endgame” is the fourth full Avengers team-up movie in the long-running Marvel Cinematic Universe that has spanned 11 years and 22 films.
Though this chapter of MCU films has come to a conclusion, Endgame masterfully completes the stories of our most beloved characters through modes that take advantage of the storytelling done in the 21 films prior. The highly anticipated “Avengers: Endgame” has finally premiered, giving millions of moviegoers a conclusion to the characters we’ve followed for the past 11 years. This article contains some spoilers from “Avengers: Endgame.”
