Avengers Endgame Review: Of Ends and Beginnings

Avengers Endgame is a movie about payoffs, it’s not just the culmination of the Infinity Saga that started with 2012’s The Avengers, but it also serves as the closing chapter to many of the characters whose journey started with 2008’s Iron Man. So whether you’ve been following the MCU ever since then or from any later point, whether you are a causal fan of the connected cinematic Universe or a die-hard comic lover who is heavily invested in the journey of these characters, you should definitely watch Endgame, simply cause there’s going to be massive payoffs for you that you’ll find both deeply satisfying and rewarding.

With the burst of great comic book films for the last couple of years, a lot of general moviegoers who's generally not into comics are increasingly drawn into these exciting fictional universes.

For example 'City Level' means the included characters in this tier operate on a City wide scale & also has th...
