What did you think of the Endgame? Here's what the Russo Brothers' had to say about the time travel questions in the film. bgr.com/2019/04/30/avengers-endgame-ending-russo-brothers-on-captain-america-iron-man/ Get Skillshare FREE at: skl.sh/captainmidnight14

"Everything special about you came from a bottle." *Cap holds Mjolnir* "You wouldn't do the sacrifice play" *Iron Man snaps his fingers*

"I am Iron Man" It really hurt to hear that one for the last time

Remember, the fate of Tony Stark was written decades ago in the Black Sabbath song, which closed the first movie in 2008: "He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field Where he traveled time For the future of mankind"

People need to understand that Thanos is far less nuanced in this movie because he hasn't made the sacrifices required to get the infinity stones.

Karen Gillan is superb as Nebula. She deserves more acclaim for her work.

Too many endings??? I was ready to watch 3 hours of Cap returning the stones. This film could have been 24 hours long and I woulda been happy.

Just realized that both thanos, and tony gave up their daughters to see their destinies come to fruition. Cursed with knowledge.

I honestly thought Black Widow's ending was...perfectly in line with her character. I know most people might've wanted or expected Hawkeye to die for the soul stone, but from the very start, Natasha's always felt burdened by what she had done in her past (the red in her ledger) and so her sacrifice is like, the ultimate way of earning redemption in her own eyes. At least, that's how I interpret it. Not to mention, The Avengers were her family and she clearly would've done anything to save the people she loved.

Iron Man released 11 years ago today (May 2nd).

Nebula "They didn't suspect a thing." Thanos "The arrogant never do." I loved the irony of this line. Thanos has seen that by staying the course, he achieves his goal, yet in his OWN arrogance, goes back in time to change things, dying in the process.

The finale may have been fan service, but it's fan service we waited years for. It was payoff to everything that had previously been teased like: Cap wielded Mjolnir Cap said "Avengers... Assemble" Tony and Peter hugged We saw insta kill mode in action Falcon finally got his "on your left" revenge And finally "I... am... Iron Man" The reason it was so impactful was the same reason all other big Marvel action scenes work, we love the characters because of the time we've spent with them as people, seeing them just live. We feel like we know them deeply so we feel like we're right there with them in the fight. I straight up cried during the battle because it was so earned.

I think Thanos had a lot more bravado in Endgame because he never had the weight of the journey and victory he experienced in Infinity War. He was several years away from it.

I was pretty sad at the fact that Quill and Gamora’s relationship will basically have to start from scratch now.

Ant-man really did some heavy lifting in this one. Incredible from Rudd

My favorite callback to previous MCU films was when Captain America went into the elevator in role reversal to the scene in The Winter Soldier. His idea of saying "hail HYDRA" shows how clever he is.

Although the Captain America ending might seem a bit jarring personally I feel like he deserved a happy ending

The last hour of Endgame is the best thing I’ve ever seen in a movie theater tbh

I just don't understand how fan service in the 22nd and final chapter of a Comic Book Movie saga could ever be referred to as a bad thing.

"I had a date" - Steve got the date he deserved finally.

I loved the fact tbat Cap stayed, because he was always an outsider in this time and for him to go back home and live the life he wanted to was perfect

If Thor 4 is made I think villian will be @Noobmaster69

I personally thought Black Widow's death was the best type of send off for her. Her whole life, she's been a secret agent/spy who've killed hundreds of people, and throughout the mcu, by joining the Avengers, she's been given a chance to prove to everyone and more importantly herself, that she's not a monster. Having her sacrifice herself for not only the only family she's ever had in the avengers, but for trillions of beings in the universe, is greatest ending you can have for her character arch.

Tbh, the whole time travel section felt amazing, it was a glorified boss rush of the entire MCU movies.

Be careful of your use of "Fan Service". That term is associated with cynicism and this film doesnt use it in that way, the fan service in Endgame is a reward for fans who followed these charcters for 11 years, and it isnt used to cover up its own flaws like most uses of fan service like Solo.

Black Widow had nothing to lose. Hawkeye had to get his family back. So it made more sense for Widow to bite the dust.

Tony's arc in the mcu is one of the most brilliant character works I've ever seen. There is a reason why grown adults where literally sobbing in the theater when he died. And more in general, marvel has almost always put characters before action, and that's partly the reason why so many people are invested in this universe, so the first act of the movie makes perfect sense to me.

I loved Tony’s funeral scene where they play his last recording and show the universe that Ironman and RDJ made possible. I haven’t cried like that since titanic

i cried the hardest when Cap went back i'm really happy people are finally starting to give The First Avenger the praise it deserves

T'Challa to RDJ: Get this man a Oscar

My favorite scene is where tony sees peter for the first time since the snap and while Pete is rambling Tony’s face expression then the hug made me cry

many people give lots of love to the actors on screen. this love is not misplaced. one thing that makes the movie is that the actors are fully invested into their character and believing that it is all real. it makes the viewer believe it is real too. however what many people don't think about is that without the tech people, these actors would just be a bunch of folks running around in cosplay doing role play. they would look like the average anime nerd in cosplay. rocket would just be a sock puppet. thanos would just be some guy in a barney costume. let us have a moment of silence for the tech people who made these movies possible.

"Where he traveled time For the future of mankind" - Black Sabbath, Iron Man

I think part of Thanos being different is that he's younger. I think he gained a lot of his complexity during Infinity War and just before. To me it feels like Thanos mellowed out due to the losses he suffered. With the Thanos of 2014, he suffered none of the losses and was shown his win. He was given a vision of his future as successful. This gave him a confidence and belief in his inevitablity without the mellow he gains. So basically everything that boosts one's ego without any of the things that mellows a person out which gave him a more truly tyrannical personality

To be honest, I think the lack of action is what helped gravitate this film more. Don't get me wrong we all watch the marvel movies for that sweet bit of engaging action sequences and showdowns, but the first two hours of this movie helped make that last hour really worth watching. The concept of Banner merging with Hulk embodying best of both worlds was a good concept and him actually SPOILERS bringing everyone back is much more of a feat than him just smashing everything in sight. The reason why most of the flagship and main avengers got the most screentime in this movie was because this was a sendoff to them, a goodbye note for 11 years. Yes you can argue that some scenes did feel dragged out, but to be honest this movie felt more like character development rather than an action movie in my opinion, and of course like a good time traveling back to the future movie. The theme of this movie was the concept of what they lost and nearly every character had something to fight for. Captain America wanted to fight for the deaths of Falcon and Winter Soldier, Hawkeye lost his family to the decimation, Thor let thanos win and lost his dignity and lost nearly all of his loved ones and the list goes on and on. Some people don't understand that we can't always just have action flicks to tell a story. We can have good superhero movies that delve into character growth and development. SPOILERS Black widows death was important because was the reason she sacrificed herself wasn't because she had 'nothing to live for' or she wanted the team to simply beat thanos and resurrect everyone, but she wanted her 'family' to succeed in the end and in the end, was willing to give her own life to do so, Barton still had a chance to see his family come back and she wanted him to have that chance. There are many heartfelt scenes that I don't think get enough attention and people just go straight to the action. This movie wouldn't mean as much if it were just balls to the wall fighting every single frame no. This is the culmination of 11 years of filmwork. This was the right way to go out guys. Endgame might be one of and if not THE best marvel film. Thank you RDJ, Chris evans. Thank you all for your amazing work. Thank you for giving us the experience we needed and most of all, thank you Josh brolin for giving us one of the most amazing villains in fictional history.

I’d be so down for an entire video on Thor, considering he’s both hilarious and a strong character.

I thought Cap’s ending was perfect.

End Game is such a good ass movie. I saw it on Sunday and I'm going right back tonight.

I fell in love with Nebula's character. Never would I thought she would be a favorite. They portray her so well of what she was then and she is now. It's almost like I needed to review how on earth she changed over time. Thinking about it, everything she stood for and talked about was so refreshing to me to explore more of the dysfunctional family of Thanos. And yet even after all that, She doesn't take pleasure in Thanos death or death of her past self despite her arrogance. This is jarring since she was so hellbent on killing him and pretty much staying a psychopath. Although very exaggerated, it struck a chord with me for those characters who seemingly cannot have a redemption.

10:23 I think the real reason Thanos acted a lot more villainous in this movie is because he didn't have to go through the heartbreak that Infinity War Thanos had to go through. 2014 Thanos didn't go toe to toe with Iron Man and told him that he respected him, and 2014 Thanos didn't even sacrifice Gamora yet. Also, seeing how he wins in the future really made this Thanos much more scarier and unforgiving.

Seriously, I don't get the hate for Hawkeye, I never thought he was the worst Avenger, and definitely don't think it is a miss cast.

Honestly I feel like Jeremy Renner could be a great Hawkeye, he just needs more to work with. I mean his performance in this film is great.

I think Karen Gillian and RDJ both show how to play a angry character beautiful

RDJ deserves a frickin Oscar for his portrayal of Iron Man. He is PITCH PERFECT, every mannerism, every word, its all a perfectly crafted character to the point where you dont know if youre watching RDJ or Stark sometimes, it is just fantastic

Endgame is the best movie ever made in cinematic history. Nothing can beat Endgame.

I think this film will go down in history. Not just because of the box office, but because of what the MCU has given people over these 11 years of adventures of our favorite heroes. Endgame concludes the main story of the 6 original Avengers(at least 3) and I'm pleased that it went that way. Despite the shortcomings, I love this movie probably 3000?

Agreed that this was probably RDJ's best performance in the MCU

Give RDJ his Oscar already, he's earned it. His Tony Stark is the greatest superhero in cinema ever, bar none.

The only problem I had with Cap's ending was that he left Bucky behind in present time after years of trying to get him back. "I'm with you till the end of the line"

I thought what they did with Iron Man was...perfect. "We're going to be okay Tony. You can rest now". I cried. With that statement, Pepper Potts got to the heart of Tony's character since day one. I also liked what they did with Captain America. It made perfect sense to me. My favorite Marvel Films? "Iron Man", "Captain America: The First Avenger", "Endgame", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Black Panther", "Civil War"

When I saw this film I understood... I love this movie 3000 no more, no less.

The hype and excitement for Avengers Endgame will never be repeated. My favorite movie of all time. I saw this movie the morning it came out with my Brother and Dad, April 26th in IMAX theaters at 2:45 AM.

Black Widow's Sacrifice was actually a nod to the comics that shes ready to die if she needs to. (It was a fight between avengers, correct me if im wrong. FilmTheory explained it better) And in MCU's story, its like a given that Hawkeye saved BW life, instead of killing her. And as a way to pay back Hawk, she sacrificed herself for the universe.

Thanos: I am Inevitable. Tony Stark: I am Iron Man.

"I AM IRONMAN.", the alpha and omega of MCU movie quotes.

I felt the Captain America ending was the most satisfying. The soldier can finally lay down his arms and retire. He deserved his happiness

Cap couldn't choose Bucky. The world has only known him as the Winter Soldier: Assassin/Russian tool. Now he's the next Captain America? YIKES Also, it's probably something he and Bucky already spoke about offscreen. I couldn't imagine Bucky willingly stepping into the spotlight again either.

The question was answered in the first Avengers movie. Iron Man guided the nuke into space not knowing if he would survive. He did lay down his life for others.

I think black widow dying the way she did was a perfect ending, a lonely assassin who was brought in and given a chance to prove herself, her sacrificing herself for the universe is the story telling us she’s not just a robot emotionless killing machine which it felt like in all the past avengers films.

first time i cried with a movie and first time crying in a movie theater as well, loved the movie. Huge thank you to RDJ.

That moment when Hulk’s in the back of the van and the chill music played made me smile, because it really stuck out to me how different this film was and what a treat it would be to long time fans. Endgame was so grounded and focussed in character, something really refreshing in a superhero film, especially an Avengers film. And then when it goes from the groundedness of the first act to the quirky fun heist/time travel/fanservice/further character growth section of the second half to the insane epic third act, it really shows Marvel’s diversity in terms of genre and tone.

i love the subversion of expectations when they decapitated thanos. truly wtf moment for me. loved it.

How was Black Widows sacrifice bad? She was the only one that didn’t have anything to lose. It made sense thematically! Love your videos!!

I just hope that the “Portals” scene becomes one of those landmark cinematic scenes in movie history. It gives me chills just thinking about it - the build up, the score, the visuals, the borderline raw emotion from it it’s just so so good

Oh man 2019 when movies were coming left and right I really miss these days and not just because of movies I’m getting really emotional

2015: “I don’t trust a guy without a dark side”. 2019: “You trust me?” “I do.”

I keep crying when I hear this.... Also... They did a reverse of Tony holding Peter.... and it made everything even more painful

This is why people need to stop hating on the movie because it is boring. It is more of a storytelling movie or character arc movie.

People who hated Endgame, except DC fanboys and fangirls, probably didn't understand the symbolisms of a lot of scenes in the movie.

4:00 Don’t forget Downey has two Oscar nominations himself - for playing two Oscar nominees.

That third act to me was pretty incredible. I fucking cried when I saw everyone come back through the portals and when cap said “Avengers assemble”

captain midnight : "The first avenger is my favorite Captain America movie" What you said sir is illegal .

Tears when happy told Morgan theyd get cheeseburgers

Another way that argument was proven wrong was Tony telling Captain "Everything you have came out of a bottle" but only Cap's will could allow him to whoop Thanos' ass with Mjolnir...

Robert Downey JR always brings his A game but in the last two movies he’s brought his A++++++++ game

Gotta say I love Jermey as Hawkeye. I feel like he’s underrated and personally he is one of my favourite MCU characters. His series on Disney + is one of the main reasons I’ll purchase it!

Tony: “I love you 3,000.” Me: “I love you 30,000!” Drax: “I love you 30,000,000!”

Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I really cried during the last scene with Steve and Peggy. I love this ending.

I rewatched Age of Ultron after Endgame and I thought there was a lot of small hints to what was to come in Infinity War and Endgame.

Avengers Endgame is the best MCU movie. It's not even a question.

I think that black widows death actually made a lot of sense. Her character has always felt guilty for her past actions, and I think she wanted to do something that could redeem herself for what she had done. So her killing herself to get the stone, and bring back everyone, playing a major part in the destruction of Thanos, is a redemption for her.

17 minute midnight vid Am I dreaming?

Now he can rest. He started the Infinity Saga and he finished it. Rest in peace Tony Stark, you will be missed. Love you 3000.

Endgame shows that a superhero movie is not just fighting for 2 to 3 hours. It perfectly builds up the story to the point of the final battle. I don't care what the stupid fake fans say about this movie

The final battle in endgame was one of the best moments in the mcu

I laughed, I cried, I watched my favorite movie of all time

I mean, it was Nat or Hawkeye. One of them had to die. And personally, I think they made the right choice. Hawkeye has a family, a wife and kids. It make sense for him to stay around

Endgame is my favorite MCU film of all time. I’ve never been more floored and more hyped in a theater in my entire life

Why people keep saying Endgame resolved that arc for Tony when in The Avengers he sacrificed his life with the Nuke? That arc was completed there...

I walked out of the theater more shook than ever, but when I got home I was depressed. Really the only thing I could think about other than the movie was, "Man, when is Captain Midnight gonna post his video?" lmao

Can we talk about the fact that since we didn't get it in Spider-Man Homecoming, Tony Stark's death was low-key the MCU's version of Uncle Ben's death

They followed the time travel rules throughout the whole film, except at the end when old cap showed up. They didn’t break their own rules during the time heist. Great video though.

I agree, the part that made me almost cry the most was when Happy showed up. There's just this innocence he has that almost got me. Maybe it's the fact that most films would treat a character like that as if they were an afterthought, but not the MCU, they never forgot about Happy.

Thank you for acknowledging the amazing performances of Robert Downey Jr., because, let's be real, he's the real hero.

You only had grin on the throwback to the first avengers scene? I FUCKIN HAD A SEIZURE WATCHIN THAT SCENE

I have something to add with the Thanos bit - infinity war was HIS story with HIS own character ark. This was before that, before he really started to grow as a character with all those layers. That’s just my take on it

I loved Avengers Endgame, easily best comic book movie of its year and easily the biggest and greatest cinematic event of my life

Thor Odinsons arc is much better than Luke Skywalkers arc I'm actually excited to see what they do with Thor Odinson

"I used to have nothing, then I got this family."

"Is this outfit what your ex-partner wore?" " *What?* *What* did you say?"
