00:00Whatever it takes.
00:08Endgame is a meditation on time,
00:11and it leaves us with a fittingly age-old message
00:14that we should cherish the moments we have on this Earth with our loved ones.
00:19As Tony Stark puts it, quoting his father to his father,
00:23no amount of money ever bought a second of time.
00:26In the wake of Thanos' fingersnap, we see the original Avengers
00:30revisiting the sights of their past adventures
00:32in order to collect the Infinity Stones, before Thanos did, in a time heist.
00:38Along the way, they confront important people from their pasts,
00:41and even former versions of themselves.
00:44And the movie arrives at some intriguingly counterintuitive conclusions,
00:49like that to move forward, we need to dig deep into our past
00:53instead of just letting it go,
00:55and that the end of the journey isn't necessarily something to fear
00:58if we've lived our lives to the fullest.
01:01Pepper, I've been called many things, nostalgic, is not one of them.
01:04So here's our take on the movie's deeper message
01:07about making the most of the time we have.
01:10Are you ready for our dance?
01:17Before we go on, we want to tell you a little bit about this video's sponsor.
01:21Movie is a curated film streaming service with a twist.
01:24You get 30 films per month, a new film every day.
01:27It's a hand-picked selection of movie gems from around the world.
01:31So click the link in our description below to get a full month of movie for free.
01:39We live in a world where we're told to only look forward.
01:43The world has changed, and none of us can go back.
01:48But Endgame sends us a message that flies in the face of that.
01:52When we're struggling, we have to look back at the past and dwell on it.
01:57Some people move on.
02:02But it matters.
02:04Viewers might have gone into Endgame expecting the movie
02:06to quickly undo the damage of Thanos' deadly snap.
02:10But one of the filmmakers' boldest choices is letting five years pass
02:15after the destruction of half of all life.
02:18Thanos wiped out 50% of all living creatures.
02:22This reminds us of the truth that time makes things real.
02:26In the moments immediately following a trauma,
02:29the event feels surreal.
02:31What is this?
02:32What the hell is happening?
02:33Yet, as time passes, we're forced to accept and process the event as reality.
02:39The Avengers feel the lasting absence of their loved ones.
02:43And now that these years have been lived,
02:46even if the Avengers somehow manage to bring the lost people back,
02:50this devastating event cannot be erased.
02:53We lost friends.
02:55We lost family.
02:56We lost a part of ourselves.
03:01Tony is committed to his future,
03:03his life with Pepper and their daughter Morgan.
03:06Yet, that doesn't make him any less haunted by the loss of his son figure,
03:10Peter Parker.
03:11So this reveals that we can't only look ahead.
03:14In order to feel whole,
03:16we have to allow ourselves to look back as well.
03:19Thanos mocks the Avengers for focusing on what's been lost
03:22instead of what could be.
03:23You could not live with your own failure.
03:27Where did that bring you?
03:29Back to me.
03:30This is, in classic Thanos fashion,
03:33the kind of rhetoric that sounds good in theory,
03:36but is terrible in practice.
03:38In the end, our hero's inability to move on
03:42turns out to be a good thing.
03:44Their stubbornness leads them to figure out how to go back in time.
03:48Even if there's a small chance that we can undo this,
03:51I mean, we owe it to everyone who's not in this room to try.
03:54So how does time travel work in Endgame?
03:58Put simply, when the Avengers go into the past and change events,
04:01this appears to create alternate timelines.
04:05Thus, just as the time travel doesn't erase those five years
04:09for the people left behind,
04:10creating new futures in the past
04:12doesn't undo other timelines that have already been lived.
04:16It's important to hear that nothing can actually undo what's already been done.
04:21Still, Endgame's joking allusions to Back to the Future
04:24and Hot Tub Time Machine are a winking nod to let us know
04:27that we don't need to focus too seriously on how this all works.
04:32Scott Lang races through his idea with his mouth full of sandwich,
04:35while Tony solves the technological aspect almost without trying.
04:40What's far more important to the story is the symbolism of the time travel.
04:45Confronting the past here is made literal,
04:47as we see when Captain America fights his past self
04:50and Nebula kills her former self.
04:53These scenes highlight that our past selves are not us.
04:57They're very different people due to the experiences we've been through
05:01that they haven't yet had.
05:02Think of the way present-day Cap dismisses his past self's catchphrase.
05:07I can do this all day.
05:09Looking on his former self as a simpler, more naive person.
05:14And when he gets on the elevator with the men from S.H.I.E.L.D.,
05:17in a callback to the famous scene from The Winter Soldier,
05:20he knows exactly what to say to infiltrate Hydra.
05:23So the hard lesson he learned years ago ends up being extremely valuable,
05:28which reveals that our past mistakes and failures
05:31are necessary to getting us where we are.
05:33The other interesting aspect of Endgame's film references
05:37is that the characters conclude Back to the Future got it wrong.
05:41Changing the past doesn't change the future,
05:44because when you go into the past, the past becomes your future.
05:48This has a very interesting symbolism,
05:51namely that our way to the future is via the past.
05:55When Tony and Cap go back to the 1970s army base
05:58where Cap had his training in the first Avenger,
06:00each sees the one person whose absence has shaped them,
06:04Tony's father Howard and Cap's love Peggy.
06:07As Howard shares his nerves about becoming a father,
06:10Tony, who's now a father himself,
06:12comes to see his dad as a human being,
06:15who was fallible and failed,
06:17not some malicious god-like entity he needs to keep resenting.
06:21This releases a rush of love in Tony and frees him to declare,
06:25looking back, I just remember the good stuff.
06:29The conversation shows how much the two men are alike,
06:32but also that Tony is better than his father,
06:35who, as Howard admits himself,
06:37never let the greater good outweigh his self-interest,
06:40which is exactly what we see Tony do.
06:43Meanwhile, Cap finds himself one room away from Peggy,
06:47and this breaks down whatever barriers he's put up
06:49to convince himself he's over her.
06:51Moreover, being so close to what he wants
06:54gives him hope that it's possible to be with her again.
06:58The lesson of this episode in the 70s
07:00is that by facing and confronting the unresolved pain in our past,
07:05we can free ourselves,
07:07whether that means letting go of past grievances,
07:10or grabbing onto something that we can't accept losing.
07:14Many fans predicted that Cap would sacrifice himself in Endgame,
07:24which would be in keeping with his identity
07:26as the moral center of the MCU,
07:28while Tony would retire to enjoy family life with Pepper.
07:31But it's the reverse.
07:33Tony gives his life in battle,
07:35and Cap takes a detour while returning the Infinity Stones,
07:38and gets to live a long, full life with Peggy.
07:41These two central Avengers have always been at odds,
07:45so it's fitting that they end up with inverse fates.
07:48Still, through them both, the movie sends the same message.
07:52We have to use our time well.
07:55Endgame pulls off a pretty amazing feat
07:57in making us feel Tony's death in a positive, life-affirming way.
08:02Before this, we get glimpses of what it would be like
08:05to lose the MCU's founding father,
08:07first when Thanos stabs him in Infinity War,
08:09and then again at the start of Endgame
08:11when he's near death in space.
08:14Oxygen will run out tomorrow morning.
08:16That'll be it.
08:17In both of these scenes,
08:18the prospect of his death feels tragic,
08:21because it would be in vain.
08:23He hasn't yet done what he needs to do.
08:25I can't help everybody.
08:27Sort of seems like you can.
08:28In Infinity War,
08:29Doctor Strange reveals that the only possible outcome
08:32where the Avengers win needs Tony alive.
08:35There was no other way.
08:37And in Endgame,
08:38Strange holds up one finger to subtly let Tony know
08:42that only he can defeat Thanos.
08:44Just as we foresaw in our One Marvelous Scene video
08:47about the Tony vs. Thanos fight in Infinity War,
08:50Tony is crucial in this fight
08:52because he doesn't try to defeat Thanos with more brute strength,
08:56which will never be enough.
08:58Like we talked about,
08:59the beauty of Tony Stark
09:01is his ability to find the way around the problem.
09:04Sure enough, in Endgame,
09:06Tony, in the crucial moment,
09:08doesn't take Thanos' gauntlet,
09:10which is what the supervillain expects,
09:12but sees that all he has to do is steal the stones.
09:17Summoning the strength for the snap that destroys Thanos kills Tony,
09:20but this time,
09:22even if it breaks our hearts,
09:24Tony's death feels right,
09:26because it serves a purpose.
09:28His sacrifice to save everyone else
09:29is a reversal of the vision
09:31that's haunted him since Age of Ultron.
09:33Watching my friends die,
09:35you'd think that'd be as bad as it gets, right?
09:38Nope.
09:41Wasn't the worst part.
09:42The worst part
09:43is that you didn't.
09:45He's achieved what he needs to do on his terms,
09:48and that's why as he dies,
09:50Pepper tells him,
09:51you can rest now.
09:53Tony's fate is the perfect culmination of his arc
09:55because it reveals that,
09:57while he's the guy who'd cut the wire,
09:59at the same time,
10:00he also is the guy to make the sacrifice play.
10:03You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play,
10:05to lay down on a wire
10:07and let the other guy crawl over you.
10:08I think I would just cut the wire.
10:10At his funeral,
10:11we see the arc reactor Pepper gave him that says,
10:13proof that Tony Stark has a heart.
10:16Tony's heart has been the center of the story
10:18from the beginning,
10:19as he's progressed from isolated playboy
10:22to loving family man.
10:24Endgame emphasizes how many lives
10:26Tony has touched
10:27when we see pretty much all the characters
10:30from the MCU gathered at his funeral,
10:32even an older Harley,
10:34the kid he befriends in Iron Man 3.
10:36So we have to marvel at all the good
10:39that's come from this one man
10:41discovering his own heart.
10:43All this came from that.
10:45In the end,
10:47Tony and Cap's fates
10:48actually are quite similar,
10:50because, lest we forget,
10:52Cap also sacrificed himself
10:54for the greater good many years before.
10:56This thing's moving too fast
10:58and it's heading for New York.
10:59I gotta put her in the water.
11:01And, at the end,
11:02when we see Cap as an old man
11:04with a life well lived behind him,
11:06his end feels right too.
11:08He finally got the time he was cheated out of.
11:11I had a date.
11:12The dance with Peggy feels
11:13like a reward for this character
11:15who's done nothing
11:16but put others before himself,
11:18which is why, like Tony,
11:20he's earned a little rest.
11:22It's satisfying to see Cap
11:23as an old man too,
11:25because, underneath his younger appearance,
11:27this is the generation
11:28he's always belonged to and represented,
11:31a classic era of American history.
11:34Through the ends of both Tony and Cap,
11:36Endgame tells us aging
11:37and even death aren't truly sad
11:39if we've made the most of our time here,
11:41as Cap realizes,
11:42we just have to get a life
11:44while we still can.
11:46As maybe the world's leading authority
11:48on waiting too long?
11:49Don't.
11:55Endgame is the harvest
11:56of the first decade of the MCU.
11:59In this film,
11:59seeds that were planted years ago
12:01finally bear fruit,
12:02from callbacks to iconic lines.
12:05I am Iron Man.
12:06Don't do anything stupid
12:07until I get back.
12:09How can I?
12:10Taking all the stupid with you.
12:11Don't say it.
12:13Don't you say it.
12:13On the left.
12:14Come on!
12:15I could do this all day.
12:16To Stan Lee's final cameo,
12:18to the iconic circle shot
12:20from the Avengers.
12:21Some moments are references
12:23to the comics too,
12:24like Cap saying,
12:25Hail Hydra,
12:26and Sam getting the Captain America shield.
12:29We finally get the satisfaction
12:30of hearing Cap say,
12:32Avengers assemble.
12:34After this was only teased
12:36in Age of Ultron,
12:37Avengers?
12:38We see the broken shield
12:41that also appeared
12:42in Tony's vision.
12:43While there's no post-credits scene,
12:45there is a sound of clanging metal
12:47that many are interpreting
12:48as a tribute to Tony
12:49forging his suit in Iron Man.
12:51The scene of Black Widow
12:53and Hawkeye
12:53enthusiastically fighting each other
12:55to sacrifice themselves
12:56is a warm inversion
12:58of the wrong-feeling scene
12:59in Infinity War
13:00where Thanos kills Gamora.
13:02Black Widow's death here
13:03also makes sense
13:04because it calls back to Hawkeye
13:06originally saving her.
13:08I got on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar
13:10in a bad way.
13:11Agent Barton was sent to kill me.
13:15He made a different call.
13:16And her act enables Hawkeye
13:18to return to his family,
13:19which is a counter to Tony's
13:21having to leave his family behind.
13:23Tony gives Cap his shield back
13:25after making him drop it
13:26during their conflict in Civil War.
13:28And to everyone's delight,
13:30Cap reveals that he's worthy
13:31of wielding Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.
13:34Whosoever holds this hammer,
13:36if he be worthy,
13:37shall possess the power of Thor.
13:39In Age of Ultron,
13:40he could only move it a little bit.
13:42But it was enough to get
13:44this reaction from Thor,
13:45who in Endgame shouts,
13:47I knew it!
13:48Fans have theorized
13:49that in Age of Ultron,
13:50Cap wasn't worthy
13:51because he hadn't yet told Tony
13:53the truth about Bucky
13:54killing Tony's parents.
13:55Did you know?
13:58Yes.
13:58Or he may not have been
14:02truly trying at the party
14:03because it wasn't for the right reason.
14:06But perhaps most centrally,
14:08Cap has become his most worthy self
14:11as he's grown to accept
14:12more complexity and gray
14:13in his worldview,
14:14while staying true
14:15to the greatest ideals
14:16he's always served.
14:18For as long as I can remember,
14:19I just wanted to do what was right.
14:23I guess I'm not quite sure
14:24what that is anymore.
14:25Tony and Pepper's daughter
14:26is named Morgan,
14:28which was foreshadowed
14:29in Infinity War
14:30when Tony shared
14:30his dream of parenthood.
14:32We named him after
14:33your eccentric uncle.
14:34What was his name?
14:35Morgan.
14:36Morgan.
14:37And the hologram message
14:38he leaves for her
14:39calls back to the video
14:40Howard leaves in Iron Man 2.
14:42My greatest creation
14:44is you.
14:45Like Tony,
14:46Morgan will grow up
14:47with an absent father,
14:48but hopefully she'll remember
14:50her father's great love
14:51and affection,
14:52as captured in his recording's
14:54final words to her,
14:55I love you 3000.
14:57At the end,
14:58when Happy asks Morgan
14:59what she wants to eat
15:00and she says cheeseburgers,
15:02this heart-wrenching moment
15:03reminds us of Tony's love
15:05of the food.
15:06I want an American cheeseburger.
15:07There's an interesting setup here
15:09of a daughter who will carry on
15:10her dad's legacy,
15:12and hopefully,
15:13in addition to loving burgers,
15:15some other aspects
15:16of Tony's personality too.
15:17So Endgame is paying homage
15:19to where Marvel has been
15:21in order to prepare us
15:22for where it's going.
15:24The last scene of the movie
15:25shows Cap and Peggy
15:26dancing to a song
15:27that's fittingly called
15:29It's Been a Long, Long Time,
15:31which we also heard
15:32in The Winter Soldier.
15:39This dance has been on Cap's mind
15:41for years.
15:42The emotional payoff of this moment
15:58comes from the fact
15:59that it's nearly a decade
16:00in the making.
16:01We have to wait,
16:03to invest years in 22 movies,
16:05for a scene to be able
16:06to touch us like that.
16:08We're conditioned to favor beginnings
16:10and dread endings,
16:12but through Endgame,
16:14we see that
16:14Part of the journey is the end.
16:16As Endgame delivers the resolution
16:17to everything the MCU
16:19has been building towards
16:20since its inception,
16:21it shows the moving,
16:22soul-touching depth
16:23an ending can have
16:25that a beginning just can't.
16:27Likewise, in our own lives,
16:28we create meaning
16:29by sharing lasting bonds
16:31and putting time
16:32with loved ones first.
16:33It's only at the end of the road
16:35that we'll get the satisfaction
16:36of reaping the harvests
16:38of our lives.
16:39And it's important,
16:40before we get there,
16:41to plant the seeds well.
16:43So as this phase of the MCU
16:45wraps up,
16:46we're left thinking
16:46of what Tony tells his loved ones
16:48in the message he leaves behind,
16:50that we should remember this
16:52in celebration.
16:53We can't stop things from ending,
16:55but we can take steps
16:57to ensure that,
16:58when that ending comes,
17:00we're at peace
17:01with what we made
17:01of the time we had,
17:03and all we feel
17:04is gratitude.
