The idea of Drax thinking he killed Thanos' son and him being confused is absolutely amazing lol

I adored this rewrite. The ending was especially brilliant. But my God, this movie would be seven hours long.

It would be extremely fun and satisfying if Thor was unaffected by the Reality Stone not because of Stormbreaker but because he’s so used to Loki’s illusions that he’s grown immune to that little trick (this was even hinted at in Ragnorok)

The only thing I'd change in this is what Tony says to Thanos after his "You can't kill an idea" from what it was to "No. We can't, but neither could you." It would be an amazing call back to the "There was an idea" that started the Avengers in the first place.

What sold me on this was the multiverse-chain-thanos-prime thing that properly justifies the ludicrous number of universes Dr Strange had to experience. It ties the plot together in a neat multidimensional bow.

I really love this, especially the "calculated risk" line from the hulk, we all know that people would meme the hell out of it

And you know another awesome part about the Professor Hulk bit? The soul stone canonically allows for that 'internal monologue' of one's soul to happen, so it's only fitting that Natasha's sacrifice for the soul stone is what allowed Bruce's soul and Hulk's soul to finally reconcile This re-write is so damn cool

The idea of Tony getting drunk and getting into a physiological debate with Thanos is for some reason really funny to me

This just makes me realise that infinity war should’ve been a trilogy

That hulk-banner reconciliation scene literally brought a tear to my eye as you described it. Would have been so cool to see that on the big screen

That "one in 14 million" explanation was AMAZING. I am *so glad* I rewatched this video.

This version of Thanos' master plan is fucking brilliant and I would much rather acknowledge this as the canonical "Endgame" rather than the one we got. It was a good movie, but it wasn't what had been hyped up for over a decade.

"But for someone who calls himself Iron Man, you bend like gold" That was an epic line, it also gave me actual shivers

Ok the avengers and thanos just chillin' in the garden has to be the COOLEST idea i've ever heard. I NEED to see that illustrated or exceuted SOME way.

1:16:55 Makes more sense than the actual movie to be honest. We never see why this one singular universe is so special that it has to go the way it did, your change actually justifies it.

this would be absolutely awful if it were shoved into a single movie, but if it was split into 2 parts it would be absolutely PERFECT

My only real issue is that I really enjoyed Thanos’ death scene. Just the realization his army lost and rather than fight it or scream he accepts and awaits it.

i feel like a more powerful stark line would've been "Sure, bud. Maybe you *can't* kill an idea. But something I've taken to heart... _you can always have a better one._ "

Favorite parts of the rewritten version: -When hulk and banner finally work together. The tension of the scene on top of the logic that lead to it and how they were able to relate over natashas death is great. Also seeing hulk fight calculatively is an awesome mental image -Thor and Nebulas dialogue and Thor’s character growth from it. The way she scoffed at his one failure puts a lot in perspective over how much she has suffered and in the same note how little (comparatively) he has. Nebula of all people showing how there is pride that comes with the scars and failures does a lot for her character and also is a great way to spark a compelling and realistic drive for Thor -The use of the stones throughout the battle bc awesome, and why wouldn’t you -The use of different terrain throughout the battle bc awesome, and why wouldn’t you -Bringing in younger thanos and showing how he has changed not only new and exciting but also adds more weight to thanos’ character. It provides a reason to not just randomly change his whole character in the end by just becoming a mad tyrant who wants to kill everyone. -Utilizing the axe more -Making CPT Marvel not dreadful to watch by giving her an interesting role in all of it -Showing the emotion rocket has built up inside him And there’s a lot more but those were my favorites. I do think that with all that is happening in it, it could almost be overwhelming but still really good job:)

1:03:46 this was actually the original plan for Endgame, however Chris Hemsworth convinced the writers to keep Thor fat and depressed as to not take away the effect depression has on a person. He wanted to emphasise that it is not a thing that you just get over, it takes a very long time and lots of healing, something that Thor just didn't have time to do while he was consumed by guilt and anger. Unfortunately, Thor ends up immediately getting better in Love and Thunder so that entire idea didn't end up mattering.

The chain-solution to the "1 in 14 million" problem is actually genius, I would have loved for that to be the actual explanation!

1:25:51 I expected Tony's final quip to be "We had a better idea. We called them 'The Avengers.'"

This feels like a fan fiction done right I’m obsessed thank you for this it actually gives us fans what we deserve

"In fact I was just about to start a collection" why can one random fan write more creative and funny dialogue than a paid team of writers for a billion dollar franchise. Your understanding of Thanos through Infinity War was incredible. The speech at the 50 minute mark gave me chills. It's also a perfect expansion into Post-Phase 3's exploration of the infinte Multiverse.

I loved this. I was really skeptical at the start when you were talking about young Thanos but you really brought it home with the soul stone swap, that alone solves my single biggest problem with Endgame. I do feel, though, that you got a little wrapped up in finding the perfect ending for every single character and it's just too much. Especially the month long sabbatical with Thanos, that would suck all the momentum out of the story and makes no sense with these characters, many of whom would rather die trying to kill Thanos than live in the same vicinity of him for more than 25 seconds. The final battle should take place no more than a few hours later, and in the gap should be Tony arguing with Thanos briefly to distract him while the other call for help and your Thor/Nebula scene which was very good. Also I really liked that Tony and Thanos both died quietly, it added much needed weight to their endings.

You may call it cringe, but "My mind was overwhelmed by a different thought... The Work isn't done. We must all learn to make sacrifices, and it is time for you to make yours." is 100% a badass line. Not to mention that it reinforces the other thing that makes Thanos a compelling villain: He is OBSESSED. He is called the Mad Titan for a reason. You nailed it!

That bit with Drax and the younger thanos is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day.

1:22:10 or instead of having doctor strange get the time stone back immediately to reverse thanos pulling the planet apart, have him struggling to literally hold the planet together while the fight is going on. Doctor strange is one of the strongest and most magically gifted characters, so having him trying to hold back the planet they are standing on from falling apart instead of holding back some water seems like a way better and way cooler display of his abilities. You could even have instances where an enemy force attacks him while he’s doing his magic and he has to momentarily fight the attacker, which causes chunks of earth to break apart and start drifting from each other until doctor strange goes back to pull the ground together again

I don't think this works as a film, at all. However, this works great as a novel.

The bit about “honor in failure” was a fantastic moment for both Thor and Nebula. The payoff for it in the big ending fight was awesome too. I personally appreciated the sentiment that failure doesn’t have to be something you learn from, or something that contributes to a greater success, but that failure itself is something valuable. As someone who’s failed far more than I’ve succeeded, it’s encouraging and makes me love Nebula even more. Your version of Thor is also something I can relate to and appreciate much more than the cannon version. Good job

I like how you've given Captain Marvel a larger role in this movie, having her be the one to bring back the dusted, properly making her a bigger and more important character as teased in Infinity War's post-credits stinger and the fact that she had an entire solo film to herself that ended off teasing the pager again.

I really like how you made Thanos' plan go from being purely cold logic to all out obsessive insanity with the reveal that he went to other universes.

This sounds like either a 10-hour movie or a TV season’s worth of story. I’d be 100% down to watch it either way though!

The snap chain Thanos starts by traveling to other universes and informing himself on how to win is SO COOL. It also makes sense logically as to why Doctor Strange only saw one timeline where they won. Sadly, I think it would've felt overwhelming for many. General audiences just now wrapped their head around the Multiverse with Loki, What-If, and Spider-Man.

I think the only bad thing about this would be how complicated it’d be for the casual audience.

The part where Thanos speaks to other universe versions of himself and ensures their victory kind of makes sense because Strange did look at 14 million other futures and they only win in their own.

I feel that in the soul stone scene when Thanos states to Gamora that’ll he come back for her, she should respond something to the effect of “I won’t go back, not with you.” While I think how you’ve written the scene here definitely portrays his (super abusive) ‘love’ for her it doesn’t show her feelings on the matter. Plus this change potentially sets up a nice contrast for when the Guardians come rescue her in a future movie.

My favorite lines hands down: 33:34 “Calculated risk!” 1:10:38 “Where do you think I got my powers from?” 1:19:44 “We missed you too bud…” 1:26:08 “It’s about how you *execute* them!”

I think cutting out Thor's pep talk with his Mum makes him so much less in a Role model. That scene was an alpha Male who'd completely lost everything. All he needed to remind him that he was good enough, was to expose his insecurities to someone he can trust. That's something that a lot of men needed to see. After that, he sees that he is worthy because of who he is.

While I did like Endgame, HOLY CRAP this would've been incredible. And you made Captain Marvel a good character, bravo!

1:26:20 I think it makes the most sense for Tony to say the “ideas are cheap” part, blast Thanos, then say “It’s about how you execute them.” It would have probably looked cooler than “ideas are cheap,” prime, “it’s about how you execute them,” blast.

I absolutely love this rewrite. The idea of Thanos orchestrating an “Omniversal-snap” which is what kept the avengers from winning in all but one timeline isnt just brilliant and a better explanation than “he’s just too powerful for us to defeat”, but also a great way to raise the stakes even higher than they were in the last movie, which shouldn’t have even been possible.

That scene with Rocket near the end made, me, tear, up. Such a good way of pointing out their flaws but making him feel like so much more than comic relief.

10/10 this movie would have been so long but you put so much care in to meticulously designing the character interactions and the scene

“We all stand on the shoulders of giants.” Would be a good line for Iron Man at the end. It alludes to the whole science, learning and humility aspect Iron Man is putting his faith in.

A Captain Marvel rewrite would be interesting, just from how broken that movie is in many places. For critiques of your rewrite, the biggest problem with it I can see is the Nebula and Thor scene. Thor's entire character arch is built on his failure and his getting back up again throughout every movie. That is one of the reasons I hated seeing him degenerate into fat Thor and become the butt of every joke. Him not being able to state when he has failed is ridiculous. Nebula may have been taken to pieces, but his failure led to half of the Asgards to die from Thanos along with Loki right after he thought them rescued. That is not a matter of "pride".

I love that you kept the trademark marvel quips and humor, like at the end when iron man says he’s talking about the suits he designed. Love them or hate them, marvel jokes are a staple and it wouldn’t be a marvel movie without them. I feel like the balance between humor and seriousness was perfect in this rewrite.

27:16 it wasn’t in a day. Remember- theyre dealing with time travel. They could take as much time as they needed, since 5 years after the snap would still be 5 years after the snap, no matter what time you’re coming from. I think the biggest flaw about your rewrite is that you just don’t think nonlinearly with your time travel.

I'd love to do a critique of the whole thing, but that would be too big for a comment. I'll say that you've succeeded in your goal of making Thanos better in endgame, and filled in some plot holes. But the clever one liners and last words from Tony detract from the impact of his snap. He knew it would kill him, so he chose his last words. "I am Iron Man"

With the "mass produce the Pym particles in a day" thing (just from memory, I haven't researched). When the team went back in time it would have looked like a few seconds for anyone else in the room, I'd say it took like an hour at least for them to snap everyone back. Not to mention that they can be brought to the future from any point in time, so they could have spent years studying and making it and told evil Nebula "get us from this specific point in time, we should have it all ready by then"

That Nebula and Thor scene with failure is the best god damn thing I've heard in a long time. Absolutely phenomenal

My logical reason for Thanos going insane is this one line from Antman. "The process is highly volatile. If one isn't protected by a specialized helmet, it can affect the brain's chemistry." - Hank Pym Thanos shrunk to travel through time without wearing a helmet so he went insane. Always wear a helmet kids.

I really like most of the rewrite. The changes to Thor, and making Strange's plan and quote tie in better, keeping older Thanos as the final boss instead of a time-displaced stranger, these are all great in idea and execution. Giving Drax a moment of extracting revenge on Thanos is a great beat too. I know Dave Bautista has wished he could do something with that in Endgame, and this works well. I do not like the post-final-snap changes. Let Thanos take his defeat and despair. It's part of the catharsis of victory for our heroes and introducing "But what about the NEXT Thanos" here takes away from the finality. I also prefer the original take on Tony's last moments, and what he really needed to hear was Pepper going "It's ok, you can rest now" were stronger. The other big thing is that when they are debating the merits of the snap, I don't think Thanos should make any progress at all. Every argument he makes should just get clowned on by the heroes in a clear reverse of Thanos's dominating physical fights. Because our heroes are AVENGERS, it should keep tying back to the ideas of loss and misery caused by the snap and other attrocities. When we look in on planets that have been effected by Thanos's snap or conventional slaughter, we see societies that are basically stagnating in despair and loss. Thanos's solution is a failure. It is too much for many people to take. But Thanos is too stubborn and proud to accept that. Just like he can't accept that he was a horrible, abusive father to both Gamorra and Nebula. And we can cap it with a call-out to Thanos's comic-book motivation. "You never really loved Gamorra. All you love is telling yourself you're right, and death." and maybe Thor could quip in "And you weren't Hela's type anyway."

I like this version a lot more than the original version. It feels coherent where Endgame felt like a bunch of post-it notes stuck together.

I absolutely love the idea of the snapped people being in the soul stone and sorta like, trapped in time. So cool.

It's far too convoluted, but far more compelling. It would be very difficult to explain everything, considering not all people understood how the time travel worked in the first place. Also, giving these moments to these characters could take moments from Ironman, making his sacrifice less compelling

I really enjoyed this. I particularly liked the way Captain Marvel was used, since it restricted her power and ability to fight in a logical way. The only real criticism I have is Tony talking in the end. To me it just felt like the silent visual cues carried more weight than any last words could. And leaving a hologram recording with his final words, as was done in the original movie, felt more fitting for Tony

What about Wanda though: "you took everything from me". I so wanted the real Thanos to hear those words and feel the pain she inflicts on him.

I really like your past Thanos idea. It makes so much sense. As for Corvus Glaive, in the comics he is able to come back every time he's killed, as long as his weapon is intact. So him being back with young Thanos works really well

Corvus Glaive is actually a great pick for his longtime second in command, as his dark matter staff also keeps him immortal as long as he wields it, enabling him to stay by Thanos' side, but forever being a "child" in his eyes. That's how he became a sycophantic zealot.

My only issue is that Marvel goes from being an overpowered answer to Thanos's physical dominance to a mcguffin damsel. Also, damn it's sad that your ending for Tony felt so much better and more in line with the character. Fuck it, your whole rewrite felt better in terms of consistant characterization.

As much as I love this, I fully understand that they really just couldn't. It'd be WAY too long, or WAY too rushed, and even if it wasn't or it was split into two movies, it would be too much for the general audience. The original definitely could have used a lot of changes, but this would probably go over everyone's heads. I don't really think they could pull something like this off, is all.

From what I remember from the comics, Corvus Glaive is actually immortal as long as his weapon remains relatively intact; so 14:30 is would make sense for him to be that old. And giving how there was an “indication of partners” could bring up Proxima Midnight, his wife in the comics.. Bam! You stay true to the comics and give half of the Black Hand more significance.

The chain you created, and Dr Strange having to give up the Time stone for a REAL PURPOSE, is SO COOL. I really, really love that idea. It not only builds on the character Thanos knows in a real way (he would totally start that chain) but it really does tie back to that scene, establish the multiverse, and make everything feel so much more epic. Love this whole thing!! I realize this would probably have to be two movies but i don't care XD

Something that occurs to me about this rewrite is that the Avengers go into the past and encounter Young Thanos, which just so happens to be one of the two younger Thanoses in the infinite multiverse that Thanos used to start his chain, which gave Young Thanos the edge that allowed him to come back to the present and eventually restore original Thanos. It's possible to consider that if you were to go to the past, you would end up in the same universe as someone else that went back in time, but then I'm not sure how you would get to a different universe. After they get stranded in the Garden, Thanos says he will keep them there until the other Thanoses start propagating his chain, thereby making the omnisnap too powerful to stop. It doesn't occur to me how Thanos is waiting for something to happen in the past. It seems like the line between "in the past" and "in another dimension" has gotten blurred by that point in the rewrite, to the point where Young Thanoses are operating in real time somehow. It requires some form of "meta-time" to conceptualize, where the process of creating the chain takes a form of time that transcends how we understand minutes and hours. "The work wasn't done" is a fantastic line that feels like a natural extension of Thanos's philosophy from Infinity War and keeps him "in the game," helping to raise the stakes in a believable way. It would provide a realistic reason as to why he wouldn't destroy the stones in Endgame, but the inevitable result would certainly make for a complex predicament. If Thanos were to start his chain, assuming he could only contact two other Thanoses, they would realistically only need the Time Stone to continue the chain. Once the chain started, the Avengers could only really stop it by using the Pym particles to start a "counter-chain", providing Avengers from other universes the information to stop Thanos before he can snap. It seems like it would result in an eternal conflict, where there would always be some universe somewhere where the Avengers and Thanos are still fighting for the stones, since any one of them could end up using the Time Stone, Pym Particles, etc. at any point to keep it going. "Bend like gold" strikes me as a line that would feel off for mainstream audiences, since it requires the knowledge that gold is a soft metal to understand. For those that don't have that knowledge, it sounds odd for Thanos to insult Tony by saying he's like gold, a precious metal we commonly associate with status and value. In terms of alternative lines, I'm sure there are many alternative metals or objects that could replace 'gold'. The first thing that came to mind for me was playing on the fact that Tony hasn't fought in awhile by calling him "rusty", but that's may be too juvenile for a Thanos combat quote. The reunion of the Guardians, Nebula's conversation with Thor, and Banner's merging with Hulk were the stand-out bits of original dialogue from my viewing. The Nebula convo did have a sense where one side forgets all their strong arguments so the other side can have more of a point, since Thor lost a lot more than just his eye, but I liked the integration of Nebula's mostly artificial body into her point. It makes it a speech which only Nebula can give, in a way that puts emphasis on who she is as a person rather than who she knows (Gamora/Thanos). If I were to watch the scene in a film as I envision it, it would be the most prominent scene of Nebula in any Marvel movie I've seen. Your point about Thanos Endgame =/= Thanos Infinity War mirrors my thoughts on it perfectly. The Avengers are fighting against the villain everyone was expecting Thanos to be based on his appearances from Guardians and the 6 years of buildup. Endgame Thanos went through no sacrifice and no on-screen struggle, so all of the investment is on the side of the hero. It's the narrative equivalent to when a human-looking villain in Power Rangers transforms into one of the goofy rubber monster villains. Beyond the physical fight, the Avengers had a ideological battle with Thanos in Infinity War that Endgame robs us of. They never had a chance to make a counterargument against the 50/50 snap and instead are tasked to argue against the 100/0 snap, which only the most fervent anti-natalist could justify. All things considered, an interesting rewrite with a lot of solid ideas. Mostly needs a good deal of streamlining and the ability to reconcile the always-troublesome time travel mechanics.

I really like the way you write dialogue. It's something that not a lot of people can master but I can say your dialogue offers both fun and in depth ideas for the universe you're writing in. Great job overall.

This is by far the best storyline I've heard for anything ever! I hope that Kevin Fiege listens to this and makes you a director or producer for his next Endgame level project. Much better than the Avengers: Endgame we got

i literally jumped up and gasped when explained how captain marvel used her own power from the stone to snap everyone back. holy shit

The drax thing is brilliant. It's probably funnier than most of the endgame humor

This would be an amazing comic book series. Mark millar Or Geoff Johns would have a field day with this outline. Loved this story.

Beautiful! I loved the darkest hour moment. This whole thing was so well thought out.

Nebula: *triumphantly* "I just can't stop failing you, can I, Father?" Thor: *too messed up to even cheer, but gives a weakly hearty chuckle*

1:09:08 I love this idea, don’t get me wrong, but remember-Thanos destroyed the space stone earlier in the movie, so Stormbreaker wouldn’t be able to cut through any portals because they weren’t made yet, remember?

That Hulk/Banner inner dialog is exactly what I wanted them to do. Maybe peace between them won't last but today they fight as one. Instead the writers murdered Hulk off-screen and handed Banner a happy ending on a silver platter. The cardinal rule of the character is inner conflict. I guess I should say was, because now he's just an attempt at comedy. EDIT: The connection between Marvel and the Space Stone was something I thought of as well. Like she'd use her power to create a feedback loop with the Space Stone, destroying it but probably also herself. She dies (or is de-powered) but now there can never be another Snap. Overall, thumbs up. Would have been really damn long, but it could have been two movies.

Such an amazing rewrite, I loved Endgame to pieces but I can't deny your version (with a little polish!) would've been even better.

As someone who enjoyed Endgame as it was, this definitely could've added layers to it, though it might've added like an hour of content to it. Though I do prefer Thanos' last lines being "I am inevitable" and Tony's being "and I am ironman" more subtle. Then Fat thor, hey man, I like seeing fat superheroes, I think it's still fine, don't need him to slim up for the final fight, though I suppose he could do some sit ups regardless.

I really like what you did with the time stone and creating a chain of multiversal Thanos'. I know a big problem people had with endgame was using the Pym particles for time travel, because now time travel just exists in the MCU so you have to come up with excuses to not use it as a solution in future movies. Plus it keeps Thanos more true to his character in infinity war, so good job on that. I also like the change to give professor Hulk a proper introduction scene instead of just being "a thing that happened" off screen. You miss out on the meme of Hulk dabbing, but I think it's worth the trade off. Not feeling that hot on the dialogue you wrote for Iron man at the end. Yeah it's in character for him to be cracking jokes, but I think that scene works better when played straight and showing him as so weak after snapping that he can barely keep his eyes open, let alone talk.

This was the best hour and a half video on a decent movie that I've watched, and after listening to how you changed it I now want a movie like this, especially since I can pictures everything that happens

Great ideas. A few things: 1. Allowing the gauntlet to be so readily available - even without all six stones - makes the user too powerful. This will leave a huge hole in the battles and outcomes. In Inf. War, with 2 stones, Thor and Banner said Thanos was unstoppable - but he had 4 and was nearly defeated on Titan? 2. I greatly dislike time-travel stories. I thought that since the stones create or sustain the universe, I always had the idea that the after Thanos destroyed the stones, they simply reconstituted themselves (five yeats seems like too short a timeframe for that so maybe by using the quanum realm they were able to fast forward the process, idk) - and the Avengers would have needed to travel across the universe to get them - facing off against the Kree, Skrulls, Grand Master, Ravagers, etc. 3. I love your idea about bringing Thanos back to life. 4. I love your idea of making the indivdual stones more intergral to the plot. 5. I love your idea about Cap. Marvel's role. I would double down on her being a 'gauntlet' unto herself and intergrated that into the conflict. 6. At the beginning of the film when the Avengers arrived at the Garden, there should have been fleets from many different worlds who tracked Thanos there, but were too afraid to attack. The Avengers, being from Earth where the initial snap took place, along with an Asgardian and Capt. Marvel, show have been allowed to confront Thanos.

I really like a lot of elements to this, but I felt as though there were like 3 third acts. The whole hanging with Thanos on the planet is interesting, but I feel like it needs to be way earlier to allow it not feel like a brick wall for the pacing. The structure falls apart a bit. I love the whole concept of Thanos creating a chain but I wasn't really able to follow exactly how stopping him after he already had started it undid the original? I usually can follow time travel plots, but I was still a little unclear. Maybe he should come up with that idea and they just have to stop him from executing it. I like captain marvel being used as a stone but maybe more setup is needed? I think her being there when Tony snaps is also just a little silly visually. I understand the want to have Tony speak after his snap, but to be honest it deflated so much of the emotional rawness of that scene for me. Him being totally fine and able to quip right up to keeling over is too much. I like Thanos using HIS last moments to speak, but maybe something a little more self reflective. I like the line Tony has in a vacuum (it's a well thought out line), but again, it's too much for this scene. The real endgame made Tony's snap feel so brutal, and I'd hesitate to remove that. He sacrifices everything, including a proper goodbye. Thor also should not speak after Tony snaps, he come to the same conclusion later (maybe talking to Nebula or something?), but him having the conclusion to his character arc right after Tony's snap really robs the limelight. Also there's a lot of characters having big monologues mid fight/scene - way too much dialogue to fit between swings. I really loved your Guardians reunion, really felt earned and heartfelt, and btw I completely agree with your take on Gamora's pseudo resurrection in the original film. To be honest I think you kept too much of the original film, whereas you should have just completely gone from scratch. The whole time heist really doesn't feel like it fits any more, and maybe they should get the stones some other way? I saw you made the thumbnail someone else's comment about this movie being 7 hours long, so obvs you're aware of this but yeh it would be insanely dense if not insanely long. Really like the whole Professor Hulk thing - again, feels like that's where Act 3 starts but then everything slows down again a few more times. I'd worry a little about in this version making Nat's death come across as "fridging" her for the sake of Hulk's development. Obviously we know she dies in the real one without impacting Hulk, but were this the version that came out in cinemas, it may feel a bit like that. Thor's development is really nice here, far superior to "fat joke" Thor in the real movie. I love the whole thing of him admitting that he can't beat Thanos, followed by "You don't have to beat him, you just have to stall him". That is a little stroke of genius. I'm a little conflicted on young Thanos. I think it's a cool thing to show the differences between him and our modern day Thanos, but again there's so much else going on that he's practically an entirely new villain that ends up dying half way through the first act 3. There's so much in this version that you could split Endgame into a further two movies. I agree that the original Thanos needs to return for the finale, and I don't even know how the hell I would achieve that, but any time travelling past Thanos kinda complicates things regardless of whether or not you trade him back for original Thanos. He doesn't really serve much of a purpose other than getting back original Thanos, whom we could have not killed at the start, or used his own time travel/multiverse plan to bring back, without involving another version. As much as I enjoy the original "I went for the head" moment from the real endgame, it may just be best to avoid it for this version. Your idea that he doesn't go for the head again, but on purpose this time, is really interesting and a subversion of the obvious idea. Maybe Thanos lives his time out peacefully in the garden over the five years, but somehow he's reinvolved, or the timetravelling avengers go to the one point they know the stones are all in the one place at the one time - on Thanos after the snap. I dunno lmao this is just spitballin at this point. Anyway those are just my very initial raw thoughts after finishing the video for the first time. I have a feeling I'll probably rewatch it again in the future, but you asked for feedback!!! Overall though I did really enjoy the video and really appreciate a lot of your ideas, and think they do overall provide a more cohesive whole than the original did with infinity war

Thor needs to still get the pep talk I think. It's such a powerful moment as someone who has felt the same way he has about failing. It's really a lot more meaningful than you think.

27:15 "For a whole army?! And a ship?! In a day?!" Well realistically, considering time travel was involved they wouldn't need to do it in a day, they could take as much time as necessary and Nebula would just bring them in whenever they were finished.

I always thought the soul stone was connected throughout the multiverse, meaning it’s weird purgatory pocket dimension is single and unique, existing outside the concept of the multiverse. Which also technically means you could use it to universe hop if you could figure it out.

The hulk banner scene was amazing and better than the deleted scene one, also you unintentionally made a version of endgame has more build up to the eternals

Definitely a little heavy on the "tell, not show", but you brought up some great ideas that would have made the film so much better (and I enjoyed Endgame)

This was amazing! +1 Sub! And yes... A Captain Marvel Rewrite would be amazing!

i’m starting to picture and imagine this as the real endgame in my head and i’m a lot happier now

The line at 50:07 makes the title "Infinity War" even more fitting now lol (I know this is Endgame, but STILL that's good)

The "one chance" explanation is SO good. It's the only explanation wild enough to justify the odds given. Like in the canonical story, they almost won anyways and would have if Quill could chill the hell out for a minute. There wasn't a universe in which Strange coaches Quill to keep it together? No, this chain reaction that you need to be in a position to stop lest it consume you unawares is way better. But what's up with all the portals Thanos keeps creating without the space stone my dude? That is bothering me a bit

Liked a lot of the ideas. I think you're absolutely right about where the emotional impact of Endgame falls short, but I think a lot of your solutions are too convoluted and confusing

holy smokes.. I'm watching this while playing some video games, this felt good... It could have been so much more. thank you.

This is good and certainly explores a lot more character moments, but it’s a bit overly complicated and you’d have lost half your audience (fittingly lol). Endgame just about managed to hold it together regarding complexity.

Your characterization of Thanos and his past self was so brilliantly executed! And the conflict of dealing with the intricacies of the timeline reads almost comical (I mean that I'm the best way possible) I almost feel obligated to accept this as canon, this is a real epic

This was amazing man great job! Totally meant to be writing scripts. Hulk becoming united with banner gave me literal chills!

Absolutely loved this! Gave me the conclusion I was hoping for.

Man, it took 3 years, but I finally found someone who put the problem I had with Thanos into words

I really love a lot of this, but I feel as though Captain Marvel shouldn't be dragged around as the surrogate Space Stone for the entirety of the final battle. I think a better solution would be that she gives up some of her power to create an entirely new - albeit weaker - Space Stone that appears in the gauntlet before she snaps (and maybe it breaks apart later so that the stone stays gone). That way you don't need to have her awkwardly sitting next to Tony while he's in the middle of making his sacrifice. Great video otherwise. Love the Hulk stuff and the Thor/Nebula bits especially.

That was fun to watch! I rarely sit through long videos in one time, but I did for this. And it was worth it! Have a great day!

The last words of Tony to Pepper, Peter, and Rhody hit different. I just found your channel and you are way too good at this lmao.

My favorite part was the Hulk. It reminded me of Immortal Hulk in a way, and it's something I think the MCU had been missing since The Incredible Hulk. Not only that, but Thanos feels more compelling here than even in Infinity War. This is how you do a villain, and this is how you write a hero, and this is how you write a movie. This is genius
