Avengers: Endgame
Overview
Half the universe is gone, and the heroes who survived are the walking wounded. Tony Stark is drifting in space. Steve Rogers is running support groups. Thor has let grief and guilt swallow him whole. Endgame opens in the wreckage of Infinity War and sits with it — five years of loss, a world that moved on without ever healing. Then Scott Lang pops out of the Quantum Realm with an idea so desperate it barely qualifies as a plan: travel back through key moments in the Avengers' own history and pull the six Infinity Stones forward before Thanos can destroy them. Every stop forces somebody to face the person they lost or the failure they can't outrun. Tony, now a father, has everything to lose. Natasha and Clint end up on Vormir, where the price of one stone is a life. Steve keeps running into ghosts — including a dance he was promised decades ago. It all builds to a final battle that empties the bench, every hero in the saga standing together for one last stand. There are jokes, sure, but this is really a film about grief, hope, friendship and letting go — and when Tony Stark says "I am Iron Man" one last time, it lands like the end of an era. Because it is.
