Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has always been more than just a franchise; it is an expansive universe that has firmly rooted itself in the hearts of millions. Nine years ago, we were introduced to an ensemble cast that defied our expectations and raised the bar for comic book adaptations. When this latest trilogy concluded, it felt as if we were watching the last episode of a beloved sitcom, with all the characters going their separate ways. It’s hard to believe that we’ve journeyed with these characters for almost a decade.

In this final chapter, the introduction of the High Evolutionary brought a level of madness and unpredictability that I had initially expected from the character of Kang. Subtle moments in the plot spoke volumes, hinting at an underlying complexity that rewards the attentive viewer. We see each character, those lovable misfits from the beginning, finally achieving their redemption arc.

Saying goodbye was difficult, I must admit. I found myself welling up with emotion, recognizing that they were the final remnants of the original MCU that has fueled our collective imagination for so long. Now, as Tony Stark so eloquently put it, “We’re in the endgame now.”
