The highly-anticipated movie of 2019, Avengers: Endgame, will be showing next week, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it. It’s all I think about these past few days.
I have been a fan of many film series but let me tell you that nothing — not the X-Men or even my childhood favorite, Star Wars franchise — got me this crazy-psyched and emotionally-invested. I have been waiting for this sequel since I was left with my mouth gaping at the end of Avengers: Infinity War last year.
For the entire time, there has been a lot of speculation on how the movie will end. The most-talked-about is the possibility of the original Avengers Captain America and Iron Man making a heroic sacrifice to defeat Thanos that would eventually kill one or both of them.
Just the mere thought of it is making my stomach turn upside down. Iron Man is my favorite Avenger ever, while Captain America, being played by Chris Evans—is currently my only object of carnal affection.
When they released the movie’s official poster a few weeks back with the Cap right smack in the middle, I thought, does this give us a clue of his impending doom? Will he make the ultimate sacrifice to save another Avenger? Iron Man is also almost superimposed on the poster—will he die as well? Is this why Doctor Strange traded the Time Stone for Tony Stark’s life because he saw his importance?
I don’t know about RDJ, but I can’t help but think that there is a strong possibility that this will be the last time I’d see Evans as Captain Rogers. After all, his six-picture contract to play the “Star-Spangled man with a plan” is up and has been very vocal about wanting to do other things. If the year-long speculations were true, then I don’t think I can deal with it that easy and y’all might see me come out of the theater in tears.
Iron Man, even after the arrival of all the other super cool characters, is still my favorite Avenger. The whole MCU would be boring without our favorite genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist. However, after that Edinburgh scene in Infinity War, when Captain America appeared in the shadows at a train station to rescue Wanda and Vision, I have developed this huge-crush-bordering-obsession on Chris Evans (I’ll tell you more about that on a separate post), so he came in close second to Iron Man since then.
No shit. If one (or both!) of them dies in the movie, it will be much more hurtful than my recent breakup.
The film will open in theaters here in the Philippines on April 24. As much as I want to be the first one running to see it, I can’t, since it falls on a weekday. I wouldn’t want to watch it then probably call-in sick the next day if Stark or Rogers die so I reserved a ticket for the 3:15 PM screening on Friday, April 26. I have the whole weekend to “recuperate” if the ending turned out to be exactly what I feared it to be.
The film will run for three hours, so remind me to wear an adult diaper and ditch the biggie iced tea to lukewarm bottled water so my bladder won’t go knockin’. Make it a large popcorn and New York hotdog sandwich for me to bring inside as 180-minutes is no joke for my extra-efficient stomach.
I can't wait for a lot of things! For one, I want to know how Stark will be able to go back to earth (I’m sure Nebula will play a vital part) and how will it be joining forces with Rogers again after their fallout in Civil War. I would love to see Rocket (I find him very entertaining in IW) and was particularly thrilled seeing the trailer where he was all-suit up as an Avenger.
I am intrigued on what Danver’s meta-human/Kree powers (the end of IW made it seem that Fury thinks she’s the best bet to save the day) and Ant-Man’s knowledge of the Quantum Realm could do to help the earth’s mightiest heroes beat Thanos.
Must I forget Thor? Will he finally go for the head of the titan with his Stormbreaker? (I still believe he’s the mightiest and most powerful Avenger and I don’t care what Captain Marvel fans say). Will an enraged Banner turn to Hulk now and “smash”? How about our super assassins Black Widow and Hawkeye? Will they have the fight of their lives? Will Hawkeye be Ronin now?
And Groot. Heck, they must bring back Groot.
Endgame is going to be jam-packed, that’s for sure, as there are lots of questions that needed answers. I don’t think it will have that many slow scenes like in Infinity War (I got bored on the Soul Stone scene at Vormir where Thanos sacrificed Gamora). I predict it to be so epic and climactic, a fitting end to MCU’s Phase 3.
Now as I will be a couple of days behind, I am hoping that I won’t see any spoilers posted on my social media newsfeed. I tell you—if I see something even as vague as an emoji or a quote from the movie that gives away what happened, I am ready to hit the UNFRIEND button on anyone faster than Thanos could snap.
