(Caution: spoilers for Infinity War) The wait is over Marvel fans!!! The Avengers 4 title has been revealed with a reveal trailer. Now the most pivotal movie of all Marvel films will be called… Avengers Endgame. This is a title that most people were expecting Marvel to go with for the fourth installment in the Avengers saga. Avengers Endgame is already breaking the internet as it already has 21 million views on youtube, with almost the same amount on Twitter and Instagram. Last year when Marvel revealed Avengers Infinity War it destroyed the internet, racking up 200 million views on Youtube and became the second highest grossing film at 2 billion dollars!! With Endgame being a direct sequel to Infinity War’s massive cliff hanger his movie has a lot of expectations going into it. I can definitely say that the trailer make it look like it won’t disappoint.
Even though Infinity War was one of the more serious Marvel films that we have had there were a lot of funny and hilarious jokes throughout the movie. This isn’t a bad thing and it certainly doesn't downgrade the movie at all; but we would all love to see marvel go into that dark and deep tone that really emotionally drives us. The end of Infinity War was just that. As the Avengers were giving it all that they could to stop Thanos but it still wasn’t enough. Thanos ended up getting all the Infinity Stones and snapped half of the Universe away. Due to this, some of our favorite characters died like Spider-man and Black Panther. This is the dark tone we were looking for from marvel and it appears that same tone continues in Endgame. The trailer starts with a defeated Tony Stark abandoned on a ship in the middle of space. No help seems to be in range and he is running out of supplies. Knowing that oxygen will run out in the ship tomorrow he sent a message to his fiance Pepper Potts. He accepts that the end is near stating “part of the journey is the end”. He finally states “ when I drift off I will drift off about you… its always been you.” This statement is very emotional and can almost bring tears to your eyes as we see a character that we have known to be the joyful one of the group become broken and devastated. After that sequence the epic music sets in and we are shown our first look of Captain America who has tears in his eyes mourning the loss of some of his closest friends. The one thing that this trailer shows is all of the original 6 Avengers and how devastated they are after their defeat. Most noticeably Clint Barton (aka. Hawkeye) who takes a more violent role and a new name… Ronin. He carries a sword with him now and it appears he’s is on a rampage in Tokyo. We can assume he has this big change because he lost his family after the snap (decimation), and it pushes him over the edge. I can’t wait to see how his character is used in Endgame and the effect it has on the team. This trailer does a great job of showing us just enough to keep us satisfied but not showing us too much too where the plot is exposed. Now we have to keep speculating until the next trailer comes out for the movie which will be a while. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out but either way… we’re in the Endgame now! |
