Well, who are we to argue with the directors of Avengers: Endgame? After seeing the latest Marvel Studios epic at Thursday night previews, Rob and guest Kai Yaniz just had to share their in-depth — and SPOILER-filled — thoughts about the film. After all, much has been said about how Avengers: Endgame not only concludes the tale begun in last year’s Avengers: Infinity War but actually ties up the first 22 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We get into how Joe and Anthony Russo’s film serves as the final curtain call for the original MCU Avengers line-up, speculate on what might come next and generally gush about all the exciting surprises and emotional gut-punches contained in this three-hour superhero bonanza. Even though it’s en route to becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, Avengers: Endgame manages to take some legitimate storytelling risks and remain true to the characters that have transformed the MCU into a global phenomenon.

So let’s dig into everything that the marketing team was afraid to show you. Whatever it takes.
