Avengers end game
This is not a review
Just a summary of the events leading to the end game!
No spoilers!
Just a refresher for those who are not big comic nerds and for others it is like a recap of the story till now and what you can expect!
A culmination of more than ten years of a single storyline is no mere feat indeed and never has a movie series done this before!
Let’s see how the characters have developed over the years till the previous installation of Avengers infinity war starting of course by captain America and Iron Man but keeping the best for the last!
Thanos!
The huge supervillain who was given lots of end credit appearances and later on made a full blown entrance with the Guardians of the Galaxy! Everytime he enters a scene, the audience literally shivered!
He can single handedly defeat the whole avengers and how! What happened with just a snap of his fingers we all know!
His quest for infinity stones and the eventual destruction of universe makes the final central storyline! His two daughters fight with themselves and with their conscience and choose a side!
The guardians of galaxy
There were two movies with the first one being a racy entertainment! You would think Quil would be the star and for the first two movies he was until the last Avenger and then we have Rocket Racoon taking the centre stage! Groot comes and goes!
Black Panther
The surprise hit! So black panther takes over his father’s Kingdom and leads Wakanda once again by giving support to the avengers!
Ant man
Develops as a super hero in the first film and due the consequences of the second one he somehow survives the infinity catastrophe and becomes one of the keys in the end game! (This much you know even from the trailor so no surprise there!)
Black widow and hawk-eye
There’s something special about these two who have no special powers!
Though black widow aka Nat was introduced in iron man 2, it was in the original avengers where both their characters grew into a formidable force! In the subsequent avenger movie (the age of Ultron) they became more serious with family (hawk-eye) and friends (hulk and Nat may have had something going on!). Nat was seen also in cap America second part and the third and the last Avenger while hawk was visibly absent in the last one! Both of them come back in this one to play very important role!
Hulk
Hulk should have been called sulk! Starting from the first Avenger he was expected to smash and he did in the first two avengers! But his last three appearances were more low key and that was the plan all along! He just survives the Avenger infinity war and becomes both calm and dependable in the end!
Spiderman
With a mix of costume given by iron man, Spiderman becomes more iron spider with incredible New powers and his growth from the first homecoming to his guest appearance in the civil war to his final act, he has been consistent and his growth is a special treat to watch!
Thor
Three movies in avengers storyline! Develops from the god of thunder to an Avenger! He teams up with hulk in rangrok which was one the best Thor movies with an awesome soundtrack! And finally teams up with the unlikeliest of the friends! In the serious movie the two big guns that is hulk and Thor actually provide the much needed comic relief and how!
Supporting stars guests!
Captain Marvel! You gotta see the movie to know that she rocks!
Doctor strange! You know the future and there is a reason for your every decision!
Wanda or scarlet witch! She had grown stronger in each movie! Nuff said!
Captain America!
Starting with the first Avenger movie which was just a base he followed it up with the winter Soldier and in this juncture there is a scene in the elevator which you must see again! Then the third installment of cap was civil war which was almost an Avenger movie! The first Avenger is fit as a fiddle and looks so young even after ten years of this series! Like all Avenger movies, here also he gets one of the chief roles and in one scene reminiscent of the popular animation he says AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! That was literally the top adrenaline surge moment in the movie!
Iron man
It all started with him and his brain! Three amazing stand alone movies and his special appearance in Spiderman and cap America makes him the chief Avenger! Just like the first Avenger movie he forms the final in the finale!
The infinity stones- a recap of where and when you came across them
You have five stones
The first one is the tessaract in the first Avenger
The second one was in Asgard mentioned in the second Thor movie
Then we have the stone described in the guardians of galaxy which Quil takes and tries to sell!
Then we have the stone given to Doctor Strange in his stand alone movie which was also awesome by the way!
Finally the soul stone which demands a soul! Always!!
So don’t forget to refresh these scenes from the previous movies!
first Avenger war scene!
The cap America escalator and meeting Howard Stark scene!
Guardians of galaxy star lord intro scene!
Thor dark world scene with Thor’s mother!
See the infinity war again just to be lucid!
So you have your heroes and villians and stones and characters sorted out then you can go ahead and watch this three hour emotional action packed roller coaster ride!
Have fun but don’t forget to take your tissues just in case! And rest assured, the future is bright!
