Just in case you're not aware of this billion dollar earning franchise, they gave us the Superhero characters such as Spiderman, Ironman, Thor, Captain America etc. and the female superhero characters of Black Widow, Captain Marvel etc.
There'll be no spoiler alerts in this blog but suffice to say that it was a fitting end to the movies series (although I hear that there may still be some more in the making) and quite unexpected in the ending with much to consider in the three-hour long movie finale.
One of the interesting considerations, for me, was the protagonist's claim of saying "I am" which is considered a biblical reference to saying that he was God as he considers his victory. However, when things don't quite go as he had wanted it to go, his nemesis says the same but the consequences are different.
It definitely had a nostalgic feeling to the movie with references to past movies and characters, and so for those who weren't aware of those connections then the final movie may not be as meaningful unless you knew the relationships that were forged in prior movies.
Enough said, this Marvel superhero series reminds us that although there are no intergalactic superheroes (that we are aware of) in reality we can be those superheroes in the lives of those who count most to us by making those decisions that count for our families, in caring enough to call out bullies etc and working as a team to make things happen for the greater good. That's what I learnt from this movie series. Over and out...
