sometimes a family is five teens screaming in a van rolling down the road in the wee hours of the morning after they were almost murdered by a blind serial killer in her 80s while their one friend is covered in shit but no one cares because they just found 400 million dollars in gold

ENDGAME SPOILERS!!!!!!

soo there is so much to process and these are just random thoughts

• I was already crying at the initial titles. Just seeing the Marvel Studios Logo broke me. Thinking about all this journey that led to this moment, and how much it has meant for me and all the other people that were with me in that room, watching that movie with me, it killed me. The MCU means so much to me, it has been so important for me and seeing those titles really made me realise how much I’m thankful for all of this.
• Tony in space. Facing his worst nightmare. So thin. So sick. So scared. So, so, so human. Which is what makes him my favourite character. Him being just human. The fact that anyone of us could be Tony Stark. Anyone of us could be Iron Man. Because he is just like us. The message to Pepper. That whole scene was heartbreaking. Seeing our favourite hero so miserable, so hopeless.
• Carol rescuing Tony was veryyyy predictable but also very amazing. Her strength really amazes me every time.
• Tony reunion with Pepper was everything I was waiting for. That little kiss on her cheek made my heart melt. 
• Tony’s reaction to Steve questions and to his plans felt so real. Tony was sick, scared and scarred and any other reaction would have been totally unrealistic. It would have felt shallow to see Steve and Tony agreeing like their conflict had never happened. And also considering that Tony was mentally, physically and emotionally devasted that was the only reaction possible.
• When we saw Thanos again for the first time I immediately understood what was going to happen. So no big fight to kill Thanos. I wasn’t expecting it but it was the most obvious way in the end. Because the survivors couldn’t have fought against Thanos with his full powers again. So it was inevitable that there would have been something else. Thor saying that he went for the head was 🔝
• 5 years later. Natasha that manages everything at the Avengers Headquarters. Love her red hair that fade into blonde. She is so strong and so beautiful and I love her so much. And she is so human and so devastated, too. The short scene with Steve was so soft and I wish we had more.
• Big no for Thor. Honestly they did him so dirty. He had been my favourite character in Infinity War and he was too humiliated in this movie. Like some things were fun. I admit it. But it was too much. We cannot watch the final epic battle with That Thor. No.
• Morgan. There’s nothing more beautiful and perfect of that scene of Tony and his daughter. Him holding her in her arms. Just thinking about it makes me cry all over again. This is so important for Tony’s arch.
• I totally loved the scenes when they organise the time travels. Those little domestic scenes that we have always talked about in thousand of headcanons and fanfictions. There’s one scene with Tony, Nat and Bruce laying down on a table talking about the stones that was super cute. I could totally watch a movie with only scene like that.
• I loooooooooved the time travel scenes. Especially New York, Asgard and the 70s. Like how fucking epic it is to see again in the cinema the scene of the first team up from the first Avengers. Just great. Seeing it makes me feel so empowered. And I also loved all those scenes after the New York battle. Seeing the other iconic scene with all of the avengers looking at Loki but from the other side was so cool. And then them starting to talk and joke was so fun. Also loved seeing the differences between the characters then and now. Just great. The Steve/Steve fight was epic and reminds us of how unbearable was Steve in the Avengers. (Also can we talk about the fact that to distract himself Steve used Bucky? Like, he totally knows that it is his weak point.)
• The 70s with Tony meeting Howard again. Closing a circle. And Steve seeing Peggy. I almost died when I saw her.
• Natalie Portman. Nothing to add. I know that many hate Jane for I don’t know why but Natalie is my favourite actress so even seeing her for just a few second was so good.
• I appreciated the choice of having Thor meet his mom rather than his father or Loki.
• Seeing Peter Quill dancing from outside and looking like a total idiot was epic.
• Clint e Natasha. Fucking finally. Honestly the Feels. We have been so blessed. It was everything I was waiting for since 2012. (I’m totally still bitter about everything that happened in age of Ultron but that’s for another time). From the beginning when she his devastated hearing about everything that he has done. When she rescues him and they hold hands. When they understand that one of them has to die. Them holding hands again. Them fighting just like in civil war. Nat dying. It was so heartbreaking. (And also I’m still waiting to know what happened in Budapest).
• When they reunite all the stones on Iron Man’s gauntlet. What a fucking powerful symbol. The strength that comes from that shot. Nothing else compares. As soon as I saw it I knew Tony was going to kill Thanos and what was the consequence. (Also this is a big fuck you to everyone that hates Tony Stark and thinks that he is not the protagonist of the mcu) One word: epic.
• The 3 seconds in which everything seemed resolved and birds reappear but we know that Thanos is coming and everything is going to hell.
• The big 3 ready to face Thanos. Amazing. Wonderful. Epic. Perfect scene. The 3 of them combining their skills. Steve holding the hammer. Thor saying that he knew it and all of us thinking it with him. Steve left alone against Thanos and falling down once again. And once again standing up ready to say “I could do this all day”. But then we hear Sam’s voice and all the portals start to open. And the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen begins.
• All the characters appearing. The Avengers Theme that resounds in our hearts. I was literally jumping on the chair. Tears and a huge smile. Seeing all of them united and knowing that for Thanos it’s over. Steve saying Avengers Assemble. And suddenly they’re all Avengers. And we are all Avengers. And you really feel the strength and power of this story.
• All the reunions that happen in the middle of the fight. Peter and Tony hugging. All of them swapping the gauntlet up to Carol. And the amazing scene of all the girls united. (And I just want to say to everyone that thinks that it was just “politically correct”: Fuck you. Because yes it was but it was also fucking important. For me and for all the other girls watching those movies with the same passion and dedication of the guys, that have all the right of feeling represented. Because when I saw all of them united I also saw myself standing with them. And I’m sure that many other girls have felt the same way. So who gives a fuck if it’s “just politically correct”).
• Carol was so underused but I understand it. Firstly because she is honestly too powerful compared to the others. Secondly because Endgame was the ending of the original cycle of characters and she is going to be the beginning of the next one.
• Little thougths on the final scenes because I’m still shook. Tony taking the gauntlet from Thanos. Him saying that fucking annoying line and Tony answering: “I am Iron Man”. And the circle closes. And I don’t think there’s much too add. Tony is the Marvel Cinematic Universe and without him there wouldn’t be anything else. I’m sorry but no other character has the same value. He is the protagonist and no one can change my mind. And when he says “I am Iron Man” as he snaps his fingers, and we all say it with him, it’s fucking powerful.
• Tony dying sorrounded by his loved ones. Pepper’s hand on the reactor. Devastating.
• Tony’s message. His voiceover that reminds me of the ending of Iron Man 3. That ends with that same line. I am Iron Man. The beginning and the end. Nothing else to add.
• The funeral. Morgan watching the video. Everyone being there for Tony, the kid from Iron Man 3, Nick fury, May. Happy saying to Morgan that her dad loved cheeseburgers too. Proof that Tony Stark has an heart. All of this killed me.
• Valkyrie king of New Asgard and Thor with the guardians is perfect. I think that he fits in that group much more than into the new Avengers. Quill looking at a picture of Gamora with the word “searching” hinting at the plot of the next movie.
• Steve leaving and saying goodbye to Bucky with the same words of The First Avenger. So beautiful. Steve coming back and passing the shield to Sam. I agree so much with this choice. The fact that the movies ends with the dance between Steve and Peggy that we had been waiting for all this time and them kissing is just perfection.
• The amazing end credits. With the signatures of the original Avengers. Ending with RDJ. Because as much as Tony is the MCU, Robert Downey Jr. is. The Marvel logo at the end with the background noise of the hammer as a tribute to the scene where Tony forged the first armour, beginning this amazing journey.
• In conclusion I liked this movie much more than Infinity War. Maybe because Infinity War was a transitioning movie, very fast, very dynamics for sure but also simpler. Endgame was so full of stuff. Many things and I loved them all or almost all. The perfect conclusion for the characters and this whole cycle. And for anyone complaining about the contradiction regarding time travels, honestly it’s a movie about aliens and superheroes who cares if something doesn’t add up.

Watching Carol, Wanda, Gamora, Nebula, Mantis, Shuri, Okoye, Pepper, Hope and Valkyrie charge together towards Thanos (and, in doing so, carrying out Natasha’s legacy) was a religious experience

I can’t get over that scene in the car in general, but mostly I cannot get over Edoardo’s silence. He didn’t say a single word while Ele was speaking, he didn’t touch her or try to comfort her in the middle of her speech, he just sat, close, quiet, and let her just word vomit out this thing that she clearly hadn’t ever really expressed to anyone in her whole life. I mean, I honestly wonder if Eleonora had ever told anyone about her having to get a taxi alone to the hospital for her appendix. Does Eva know? Probably not. Do Silvia, Sana, and Federica? I’m almost positive they don’t. And through all of that, he didn’t touch her until she started to cry, and he didn’t say anything at all until she had completely broken down, and even then, it wasn’t anything to do with what she said. It wasn’t “I’m so sorry thats terrible” or “I’m here now you don’t have to feel that” or anything like that. He listened to her, so intently, he wiped away her tears, and he looked her dead in the eyes and said the only thing he should have said, which was that he was not going to be another person who hurts her. He didn’t try to mask her problems, or try to act like he was going to be the one to solve them, he just comforted her, let her speak, let her break down, and assured her that, whatever else goes on in her life, whatever other pain and strife she faces, he will not be a person who piles on to what she’s feeling. 

When she got in the car, so angry, she was ready for him to clam up and close her out, because that’s what people do to Ele. She is the listener, the Mom Friend, the Mom to herself and her brother, she is used to people walking away, and Edoardo’s lie coming to light in that way hit her right where she lives. It made her feel like whatever she was doing, it wasn’t enough for him to be honest and truthful, and he was willing to cut her out of a part of his life because of it. He lied, and she apologised to him. This girl has been so alone, so discarded, so self sufficient her entire life, that her boyfriend lies to her (to protect her), and she apologises to him because she thinks it must be something she did that would make him not want to tell her the truth, and not want to bring her around his brother. She feels like somehow, its her fault that there was this small rift between them, even if she’s angry with him for it. 

And Edoardo, instead of making up a lie, or trying to cover it up, tells her that he isn’t ready to open up yet, which is such a vulnerable thing for him to say, and i think that really hits Eleonora in that moment. He tells her that he isn’t ready, and that whatever they’re doing now, just slowly getting to know each other, is okay with him, but they both have to get themselves to that place, and she realises that this person understands that part of her in a way that maybe her other friends don’t. She doesn’t know his family story, but there is something there that he hides away, and she is all too familiar with that feeling.  She hasn’t told anyone about this weight that she carries, and hearing that he feels that too, this need to close himself up and not let people in when it comes to big things that really matter, makes her feel like she can trust him, and all these things come bubbling up and spilling out, and she’s so vulnerable and small in that moment, I think that was the smallest we have ever seen Ele, such a contrast from the girl we are introduced to in Eva’s season. And Edoardo just… lets her. 

I think him letting her shrink, take off that brave exterior shell she puts on, and completely break down to that place, and then physically reaching over to wipe away her tears, to wipe away her sadness, to make her turn to face him so she knows he really sees her, and telling her that he’s there, and he will not hurt her, is, without a doubt, the best thing he could have done. He has shown her through actions that he cares for her. He dotes on her, he takes care of her. He makes her snacks and drives her around and is soft and kind with her, but in that moment, he lets her be completely raw and vulnerable, and assures her that he’s just… there. However she will let him be. 

Eleonora never had anyone who listened to her, who cared for her, who let her be small and afraid and vulnerable, in her life. Eleonora spent her whole life by herself, completely self sufficient and alone, by force, not by choice. Eleonora has always felt like no matter what, that she has to face everything the world throws at her all by herself. And in that moment, in that car, quietly, softly, as gently as he could, Edoardo put himself by her side, and made it clear that she doesn’t have to do that, not anymore.
