So Endgame is fast approaching and well not everyone has seen every mcu movie, or has
the time to catch up or wants to but they still want to go in and not be too lost.
So Top 10 Nerd is here to help I'm Sasha and this is what you need to know before you go
see Endgame or you can just jump in.
Whatever works for you.
Also spoilers.
So where to start when you get in to Endgame it's probably going to be a pretty direct
follow up from Infinity War which saw Thanos the Mad Titan succeeding in his plan to halve
the universes population which in the process caused many heroes to dramatically dispensary
with Peter Parker's death in particular sparking online feelings and memes oh so many memes.
(Clip Mr Stark I don't Feel So Good).
The end of this left the Avengers scattered with a core group back on Earth including
Thor and Bruce Banner who made it back post Ragnarok. and Tony up in space with Nebulae.
Side Note Loki's 'death' in that film occurred pre snap via Thano's giant hands.
Captain Marvel for those who missed it introduced the world to the character and her power level
in order to establish that she has met up with the Earth bound Avengers crew to join
the team and help stop the threat.
That's most of what you need to know there also she can Punch space ships.
The Thor we're dealing with now is much more hardened and somber than the Thor of the past
the comedic tone of Thor Ragnorak made it easy to miss the fact that most of his people
and his friend like the warriors 3 minus Sif were brutally killed.
Thor has lost essentially everyone but the team at this point.
As for the Guardians most of the team snapped, Rocket is on Earth, Nebulae as mentioned is
with Tony and Thanos killed Gamora but fans believe she may be lurking in the soul realm
inside the Soul Stone.
Wanda snapped, Vision dead and snapped, two for one.
Black Panther snapped.
A lot of people snapped gotta save money where you can, also the drama.
Steve lost Bucky in the snap and also appears more hardened after years on the run.
So for this we need to go back to Civil War which was handled just as messily as it was
in the comics.
The question of hero registration and teams being controlled by a government or un board
is introduced.
A traumatized Tony Stark who has been established as having PTSD since the first Avengers film,
which was exacerbated in age of Ultron after Wanda showed him his worst fears is attempting
to better the world by introducing youth programs.
Here he is confronted by a mother of one of the victims of a past Avengers incident and
it sends him into a tail spin that causes him to seriously consider thye accords to
make sure the team doesn't do more harm than good.
After only Natasha bothering to see if he is alright the rest of the team rallies behind
Captain America who is partially driven in his feelings by negativity towards registration
because of what he saw in world war 2 and also because Bucky his former friend now kinda
his friend and the brainwashed winter soldier is captured.
So Steve sacrifices everything for him and drags/the rest of the team decides to come
with him to support.
Team Cap vs Team iron man was real.
People saw this movie very differently,.
So Tony snaps imprisons his own team and ends up in a fight with Steve and Bucky after learning
that Bucky killed his parents.
Steve brings his shield down on where the arc reactor was which would have killed him
if the arc reactor hadn't been retconned out in Iron Man three.
From then on Steve and most of the Avengers including Black widow who initially sided
with Tony were on the run.
Except for Hawkeye and Clint who accepted hosue arrest to stay near their families.
For in the MCU Clint has a secret family.
Some have no Tony sympathy by the way cause he built Ultron in the MCU which wow did that
go wrong but ut gave the world vision.
So Steve and them were on the run.
Tony and Steve not talking but Steve gave him a flip phone.
Now onto Doctor Strange who by the way snapped.
So Doctor Strange is the sorcerer supreme he had the time stone and was shown to have
permeated all the potentialities for how to stop Thanos so theories are that Endgame will
be the one timeline he saw where they succeeded.
Ant Man and the wasp introduced the world to the quantum realm that looks like it could
play a big part in endgame with some thinking the entire team is going to have to go there.
But you basically need peripheral knowledge of this.
Hawkeye is looking like he's now going to be in his Ronin personae, and just in general
most fans think this movie is going to deal with time travel so just basic knowledge of
the early years may be required.
The fact that Steve left Peggy back in the 40s when he sacrificed himself.
The big chitari incident in New York where the Avengers first tested their metal as a
team, the fact that Clint and Natasha did something in Budapest.
Ok let's talk about the Hulk, Bruce Banner in Hulk form left the earth after age of ultron
and didn't properly reappear til Ragnarok where he had been chilling as a gladiator
to entertain the grandmaster.
Thor managed to get him to revert to his Banner personae however since they got back to Earth
for the climactic Thanos battle Bruce hasn't been able to summon the Hulk which has made
some fans mighty suspcious.
Black Panther so Black Panther gives a full origin to T'Challa but also introduces the
space of Wakanda properly in all it's advanced glory as well as the Kings supporting cast
some of whom survived the snap.
Chances are the remainers in Wakanda will be able to help out with their tech.
This is where the big Thanos battle took place, one of them.
Also Pepper and Tony were talking about babies just fyi also not everything will be picked
up especially character wise the films have to pick and choose what to depict so not all
emotional beats will be fully explored.
Be prepared.
In general Endgame is setting up the next phase of the MCU and we have many of the players
on deck and it looks like a lot of snaps will be undone as it was confirmed that Spider-Man
Far From Home occurs after Endgame in the timeline.
So there could still be a Bucky or Falcon Cap.
Maybe there will be Kate Bishop, perhaps Monica Rambeau introduced in Captain Marvel will
be Photon.
Everything will change.
I think you're ready for Endgame if any of you can think of anything else put it down
below.
Tell the people so they can go in informed.
I'm Sasha and the MCU has been a ride serious question are you still excited or did you
fall off at some point if so when?
Or maybe you're just getting started?
Thanks so much for watching top 10 nerd also I can't contain my salt about civil war I
try but that film hurt me.
