Quickly ~ how many Avengers are there? Sorry, but I can’t give you the answer. I just know that this exciting, tension filled movie brings them all together for an epic battle with Thanos, a space warlord. Did I mention that Marvel Studios has included magic, time travel, and space travel along with mythology and science. Does that sound like too much all at once on one movie screen? If I had read this post before I saw the movie I certainly would have thought so. However, with great creativity and many doses of humour in the midst of these epic space and time battles, Avengers: Endgame was a beautifully wrought and sensational story about the fight against good and evil. Potential real life losses for these superheroes were discussed very poignantly. Questions of how time travel could affect a time line and all the lives involved were presented. The Avengers gathered at fictional Stark Industries to discuss the chance that time travel could open the possibility of doing battle with Thanos.
I’ll admit. I am biased about the Marvel movies and the philosophical issues that are raised in the most absurd ways. Epic battles between space warlords and superheroes? Come on. That doesn’t even make sense.
More skilled creativity is the many, many loose ends that become more apparent towards the end of the movie, suggesting that the Endgame is only the end for certain characters. No spoiler alerts or name dropping from this writer. Speaking of names, I’ve purposely left out the names of a few of the characters. The cast of characters is immense: known SuperHero actors as well as many cameo appearances of extremely well known actors, each one moving the story forward. This vastness really precludes adding them to the list of cast members provided below. I will see this movie again……and probably again. It was fun despite being very thought provoking! (And you might need a tissue -but I didn't.)
