Avengers: Endgame
Spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers.
Okay so first off: I have not in fact seen the entire film yet. Let me explain.
I have been spoiling myself for most things the last few years, because my general tendency to take fictional character death very hard plus all the family bereavement has left me not wanting to get blindsided. Odin's death in Ragnarok pretty much mentally kicked me out of the film for about 20 minutes, and Odin's a terrible dad I don't even care about!
So I've been reading up on spoilers and leaks for weeks and then was finally able to ask friends questions/read a reliable summary of Endgame. I thought I was going to be able to handle it until I heard that Tony leaves behind a daughter, and I can't, I just can't.
But I still want to see this before it leaves cinemas, so home alone this evening I pulled off the bandaid and watched a few scenes from a file I *ahemed*. I watched Natasha and Clint going to get the Soul Stone, and I watched from the start of the final battle until the end of the film. Possibly I will now be able to watch it at the cinema without totally traumatising myself? Who knows.
So bearing that in mind, here are my feelings:
+ I am GUTTED about Natasha. That hit really hard and I'm both sad and annoyed by it. To give her the two-thirds through 'now it's serious' death and not even having her in the big epic battle just feels awful. After so many of us have spent years clamouring for her to have her own film, to get more to do, to get more consistent writing, and then this. I loved the all-female relay team in the final battle, but dammit, Nat should've been there. :( :( :(
+ I am frankly blown away that Steve got a happy ending! I was so sure he was going to die, but no! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the final shot of the film would be him back together with Peggy, gosh. Happy happy crying.
+ Oh Tony. That felt both right and heartbreaking, and I can't really think about Pepper too hard without starting to cry again, oops.
That's about it for my first weird kind of watch! More as and when I can actually go see the whole thing.
