I went to this movie with the heaviest of expectations. The fact that it was able to super cede anything I could imagine is genuinely nothing, next to how it was able to make me feel.
The landscape of life right now is so...blatantly and overwhelming bleak. And it’s easy to lose escape in a fictional hero. But this movie is so much more than that. Yes, it fulfills our lofty expectations (and personally much more). But far more important than that this movie made my feel a sense of joy, reverence, and genuine love all but too rare. The best of cinema has always done this...but for me nothing else has ever come as close as Avengers: Endgame.
It is a triumph.
