Look, I get that not everyone enjoyed Endgame. I am well aware. But the problem I have seen in almost every reblog and almost every textpost is that things didn’t go your way, so you’re upset about it. Tony dying was extremely sad, yes. I cried three time just throughout his death, the funeral, and Morgan’s line. But it was good writing. Anything else would have been off for his character. He came full circle. Nat dying? Also a perfect end to her story arc because the red in her ledger is wiped out. Someone somewhere complained that Clint killed innocent people, but he didn’t – he killed people in the cartels and other people who killed others. What he did was wrong, maybe, but it wasn’t killing innocent people.
Nat dying was not as a result of misogyny. Steve’s choice to go back to Peggy was perfectly in character for him. Tony’s death was the only way to end his story.
Are there things I wish had happened? Yes, but I recognize that Endgame was good writing. You all need to separate wish fulfillment from good writing. Just because things didn’t go your way doesn’t make this movie bad. On the contrary, that’s half of what makes it good – any story that’s littered with wish fulfillment is bound to be a terrible story.
We all knew Tony was going to die. We all predicted it for IW. We got our Irondad hug and Tony got himself a family. Peter saw Tony die moments later, but this was a war and Tony just wielded the gauntlet, which nearly killed both the Hulk and Thanos. If you write something being that powerful, you need to follow through with it.
Have your opinions on Endgame. But if you reblog from me and rant about Endgame, put it in the tags or specifically tag your rants with “endgame critique” or “endgame rant” or even “anti endgame.” I don’t want to see it. I’m tired of seeing people complain because things didn’t go their way. I’m not asking for much – I am just asking that you tag your complaints and your rants. Please. Some of us actually think Endgame was great writing.
