Avengers: Endgame is full of so many great scenes; however this is my list of the Top 5 most iconic moments from the film.
#5: Captain America Vs. Captain America
One of the most iconic fight scenes in the film ends up being between Captain American and – well himself. While part of the team travels back to 2012 during the events of the first Avengers film, Cap mistakenly runs into his younger self during the mission. This leads to quite an exciting, and hilarious fight sequence in which Cap recognizes the weakness of his younger self, by telling him that “Bucky is still alive.” This also gives us one of the most memorable lines, “That is America’s ass.”
#4: Tony & Caps Ending
I had a hard time trying choose and separate between these two, cause both were perfect endings to these characters storylines. While I was certain that both of these characters storylines would end in this film. I was definitely caught off guard by how it happened, and how much it affected me. After the reveal of Tony’s daughter I was certain that they wouldn’t go through with his death, but they did, which it made it that much more impactful. Iron Man began this entire story over 11 years ago, and to see RDJ go out with a bang (or a snap) is such a fitting end to his character. However, I was mostly caught off guard with Caps ending. After the defeat of Thanos and the realization that Cap remained alive, I was certain he would continue on. But, boy was I wrong, what a touching a beautiful way to end his character as well. He got everything he wanted and more. I’ve never cried happy tears over a Marvel character til now!
#3: Cap using Mjolnir
This was one of my most shocking moments in the film. If you saw me in the theater, my mouth was open for a good minute. When Mjolnir started shaking and zooming towards Thor I was certain he would grab it. But having it soar past Thor and into Caps hand was just so satisfying and unexpected! As well as Thor reaction, “I knew he was worthy,” a call back to Age of Ultron when Cap first tried to lift Mjolnir.
#2: Women of Marvel (A-Force)
WOW! What a powerful moment for these characters, and the representation of women! When each of these characters stepped into frame and kept on coming, it was a MOMENT! “She’s not alone!” I screamed, I cheered, I yelled! These women meant business, and Thanos was NOT ready! Plus, let’s be honest, Scarlett Witch and Captain Marvel are the most power Avengers… and that’s a fact!
#1: “Avengers Assemble”
…and my number one most iconic moment from the film is of course, “Avengers Assemble!” When all seemed lost as Thanos beat Cap down to the ground basically destroying his shield in the process, the Avengers Assembled – all of them! To watch almost every character throughout these past 11 years of the MCU step through those portals and stand by our heroes side was just pure cinematic history. All of our favorites from past and present, standing together ready to fight for their lives; it was magic! Just pure CHILLS! “Avengers Assemble!”
Honorable Mention: “I love you 3000”
In hindsight this wasn’t truly an “iconic” scene from the film, however it’s had a lasting impression on both myself and the rest of the Marvel fanbase. “I love you 3000” has now become the most popular quote, and memed part of Avengers: Endgame. Which not only had a meaningful impression with Tony and his relationship with his daughter, but to us as viewers and our relationship with these characters. So with that being said, thank you Marvel, “I love you 3000.”
