WELL FOLKS WE MADE IT.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! I sure can’t. 22 movies have led us to THIS.

(No idea what I’m talking about? I’m watching all of the Marvel movies for the very first time and sharing my thoughts. Yes I know I am 12 years late.)

I realize this was most of you arriving at Endgame…

…and honestly, I don’t know how you did it! I started this journey a month ago, and literally watched Infinity War two days prior to Endgame. But still, I am SO EXCITED and a little scared. Mostly anxious to see how (if) we bring back our long lost heroes!! I don’t think my heart can take it if we can’t.

Are you ready? Are you excited? (Are you like…yea Molly, we’ve been here already?) THEN LET’S DO IT.

`107.  Nothing against Clint, but I feel much better with Black Panther being in charge of the glove.

108. This is like the most vital game of “keep away.”

109. She’s not my fave, but DANG I gotta respect Scarlet Witch. She’s holding her own against Thanos pretty impressively.

110. Peter Parker always trying to introduce himself in battle is the cutest thing ever.

111. GROOT AND ROCKET TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!

112. CAP. clap. TAIN. clap. MARVEL!!!!!

113. LADY SQUAD. LADY SQUAD. LADY SQUAD!!!!!!

114. Captain Marvel is INSANE. Like, Thanos needed a stone to punch her effectively.

115. Strange and Stark are exchanging knowing looks and gestures. And I feel like I KNOW what Strange means by holding up one finger — but I don’t want to know.

116. I AM IRON MAN.

117. I’m actually concerned.

118. Thanos, Imma let you finish but, Voldemort had the best supervillain fade to dust finish of all time.

119.  “Mr. Stark.” Peter is ripping my heart out for the second film.

120. PEPPS. “You can rest now.” Because she asked if he could rest earlier. Wow my heart continues to be shattered.

121. I am so happy and so sad all together.

122. “I hope if you play this back…it’s in celebration” AS THEY SHOW BLACK PANTHER. I know they didn’t know what they were doing at the time but OH MY GOD.

123. Proof that Tony Stark has a heart.

124. NICK. FURY. This would be such a fun party if it wasn’t the most depressing funeral ever.

125. Clint and Wanda. Part of a club no one ever wants to be in.

126. *cheeseburgers* So happy to see Happy, but not under these circumstances.

127. Queen Valkyrie. I love that.

128. 10/10 would watch a Guardians + Thor spin off.

129. Good luck Cap.

130. OLD MAN CAP!!!! He looks like Joe Biden.

131. Oh no. I know what this means.

132. Looks good on you Falcon.

133. HE GOT HIS DANCE.

134. These credits are AWESOME. I am just clapping for each person.

135. NO END CREDIT SCENE???

WHAT. A. PAYOFF. I mean NO one plays the long game like Marvel, but wow, was it worth it.

When Cap picked up the hammer or Sam said “on your left” and everyone showed up, I lost my mind sitting alone on my couch. I can only imagine what that was like in theaters. (Actually, thanks to this awesome video from Scott Gustin, I don’t have to completely imagine:)

And of course the theater reaction to PORTALS was bonkers. pic.twitter.com/tllxg9aqMG

This movie was excellent — specifically the last hour. It was heartbreaking to say goodbye to Tony, but the action was unreal and the battle was perfect. I honestly think everyone showing up with the portals is one of my favorite scenes in a movie EVER.

That said, I think I liked Infinity War just the tiniest bit more. Even though it ended in despair, I liked that the whole gang was together for the majority of the film. Don’t get me wrong — I love the OG Avengers (who mostly made up this film), but I also adore T’Challa, the Guardians, Sam, Bucky….

I understand why people love this movie so much now. It was well worth the wait to see the Avengers Assemble. I loved this movie 3000.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with a 1 being Thanos and a 10 being Peggy and Steve dancing, I award Avengers: Endgame a 9.8!

Next up: Spider-Man: Far From Home
