Avengers - Endgame: infinity is a matter of time

Avengers: Endgame is more than a movie. In its three hours of projection, what is seen is a parade of superheroes and visual effects, true homage to the legion of fans who, since 2008, as in a great TV series, have been following the saga.

Who is a follower of the Marvel Comic Universe on film screens, knows that after half of humanity and most heroes have been "wiped out" by Titan Thanos, bets on a possible rematch between the survivors and the possessor of the powerful Infinity Stones was a matter of time.

The remaining Avengers (Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Combat Machine, Rocket, and Nebula), still without knowing the whereabouts of the Hawkeye, make a trip, with Captain Marvel, to the planet where the Titan is, where fight an unsuccessful battle for the recovery of the cosmic gems.

Five years later, Ant-Man returns from his journey to the Quantum Realm, which began before the Thanos' crushing "snap”, and finds a world totally devastated, with abandoned ships and cars, empty streets, and a memorial named after thousands of dead, including his. Her daughter Cassie is alive, but she has become a teenager.

Realizing that he traveled in time, Ant-Man presents the idea to the Avengers, at first rejected for being unlikely, though not impossible according to Hulk. The scientist explains that when we travel to the past, this becomes our future, while our present becomes the new past.

With Captain America and the Iron Man as protagonists, the team travels back in time, where they will recover some fundamental concepts to heroism such as honor, sacrifice, and tragedy.

The Avengers, as we shall discover over time, are susceptible to the strength of this element and, unlike what we have become accustomed to seeing in the old comic books, are subject to impermanence, as can be seen in the final battle, one of the most impressive scenes already seen on the screens.

Among the losses, the saddest, certainly, was that of Stan Lee.
