澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame is five years old, which means two things: 1) We’re getting old (if we're not there already, if we’re be𒀰ing honest) and 2) It’s time to take a trip down memory lane on what was one of the best cinema experiences ofﷺ all time.

In truth, Endgame delivered on the impossible hype. In the run-up to release, we were all distracted by debates over the three-hour runtime, the surprisingly spoiler-free marketing, and even what was then-Avengers 4 would𒁃 be called (we still recall an leading people to speculate it would be calleꦕd Avengers: Annihilation).

Then, we got it. The portals. On your left. The snap. Each moment left an indelible mark on pop culture. For many, it was their Star Wars – some𒀰thing they’d tell the grandkids they lived ♛through. 

For me, personally, it was the wildest audience I’ve ever seen. UK crowds are used to a quick chuckle and maybe a light applause if we’re really feeling it. This was unprecedented. People were hugging stran♈gers when Captain A🦋merica caught Mjolnir.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios, of course, has been chasing that high ever since – and it’s no surprise that audiences have dipped in Marvel Phases 4 and 5 given just how well they stuck the landing. It felt like the end of everyt꧅hing. And it’s that lightning-in-a-bottle farewell that fans are fondly remembering five year✤s on.

"Five years ago, I walked out of AVENGERS: ENDGAME and ꦫsaid it was one of the best movie experiences I'd ever had. Now...I'd still say it. An event that honestly, as a kid, I thought I'd never see, and I'm glad I got to," critic Shaurya Chawla .

"Endgame wasn’t a film, it was an experience, you had to be ♉there to enjoy it P𝐆ure goosebumps," . 

Elsewhere, the praise is similarly still effusive. "It still feels like the super superhero event that no😼 one has been able to top," one fan .

, "A 🐷lot of people say the MCU should’ve ended with this movie. Safe to say it just hasn’t quite been the same ever since…." 

"Since today is the 5thꦍ anniversary of the release of Avengers: Endgame, I wanted to give an appreciation shoutout to the real MVP of the whole dang movie: Alan Silvestri," one , referring to Endgame’s composer. "His score absolutely MADE this movie. The ‘Portals’ t⛄heme is nothing short of iconic."

Inevitabꦑly, in the years since, there has been talk of♑ the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans reprising their long-departed roles as Iron Man and Captain America respectively.

The Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo, in turn, have responded to Downey Jr’s claims that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he would "happily" return to the MCU fold with some bemusement. 

"I don’t know how they would do it. I don’t know what the road to that would be [laughs]," Anthony Russo澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: told GamesRadar+ at the Sands: International Film Festival in St Andrews, Scot💛𝓀land. 

Joe Russo added: "I mean we closed that book so it woꦿuld be up to them to figure out how to reopen it."
