[1.Ch.] Endgame (Spoilers)
Upon reflection, Endgame is, for me, less than the sum of its parts.
Yes, it has many good moments. Yes, the ending is a tearjerker. Yes, the gay nod and the A-Force lineup and your fave got a cool moment. Everyone gets a cool moment.
Except Nebula and Black Widow. Nebula shoots her past self in a setting that can't be assed to explain whether that's suicide in the present. Natasha commits suicide on an alien planet so Hawkeye can come home to his family.

I wanted to love this film. I can't.
I can't love a film whose prequel sets up a showdown between Thanos and Captain Marvel, then ends by having her deliver the gauntlet to Tony so the character who can't _not_ martyr himself (seriously, he tries in almost every MCU film) can blow himself up.
I can't love a film that tortures its female heroes in the dark and can't even honor their struggles with a nod during the rich white guy's funeral gala.

@orrery On the other hand Carol and Scarlet Witch were the only two to go head to head with Thanos and overpower him, leading to desperation plays both times.
Also I'd have to watch it again to be sure but the idea was to send it back to the past not deliver it to Tony. Thanos just fucked that plan up.
Natasha wasn't the kind of person who'd go for that kind of funeral. And narratively her loss was handled earlier (she does get a call back at the funeral).
