I feel you on the magic thing. I've been here since 2011-12 and even characters I wasn't so hot on like Tony I still liked having around (also I feel an affiliation with his fans) so it's definitely feeling like the end of an era for me. I liked Nat and was sad to see her go. I didn't particularly care for Steve's ending but he was one of my favourite characters for most of the last three phases. Even though I'm *sort of* getting my fave (Loki) back I'm looking at it with apprehension because the TV shows feel like a cynical ploy to get more money out of the characters (and their fans) who didn't get as much attention in the films. I love Thor but I'm always honest and perhaps unpopular in that he doesn't feel like the same character to me at all anymore so I'm not sure if I want to watch his next film despite dabbling in the comics. So I'm aware of the storyline Thor 4 is based upon but we'll see how I feel nearer the time.

I know the point is similar to the comics in that new teams, stories and leaders emerge all the time and that's where we're at now. But for some reason it just isn't working for me in the films Vs on the page? I do like most of the newer characters but am just not feeling it. Maybe I'm just exhausted with having to keep up with so many things, including trips to the cinema if I don't want to be spoiled, whereas I can just get comic book subscriptions delivered to my door and it feel easier.

Yeah, Endgame gave me a lot of weird feels. Like, Tony is my fave and has been since the start, even though I didn't get ~fannish~ until recently. And his ending was really good, but I almost don't care, I just want him back.

Nat's ending was also really good, but it still feels like kind of a waste? Like, I just don't think her character was anywhere near done?

And Steve's probably my third favorite character, but...I kind of think he should've died in Endgame, and it actually feels like a waste that he didn't, to me. I mean, if the actor wanted to stay, then hell no, don't kill him! But if he had to leave, I think he should've died for a cause. Because it's Steve, of course that's how he goes out. It's weird he left the way he did.

And yeah, giving us more Loki but...in a different timeline? Is a weird way to go. I like Loki a lot as a character (he was easily my favorite part of the first two Thor movies, and had a lot of unfulfilled potential as a character imo), but I don't know if the whole different timelines things is something I'm into.

I know the point is similar to the comics in that new teams, stories and leaders emerge all the time and that's where we're at now. But for some reason it just isn't working for me in the films Vs on the page?

Yeah, I think this is where they lose me completely because I've just never been into comics at all. Like, no disrespect, comics are cool. But I have zero interest. And part of that is that the format just doesn't grab me even a little. But part of it is that I'm not really interested in the whole endless-worlds-endless-iterations-nothing-is-permanent-everything-is-changeable aspect of comics.

I like that endless variability in fanfic. Yet for some reason I don't like it much in my canon.

Steve is by far my favorite character (as anyone can tell you) and I also wish he had died. The ending he gave him was awful and so OOC.

I hate what they did to Steve I'm Endgame
After killing off Loki in the first 10 mins of IW Steve's ooc ending was the last straw for me

Yeah, the more I think about Steve's ending the more I dislike it. It really does kind of reduce his character arc down to a dot.

Given that we all pretty much suspected we were going to lose Steve and Tony in Endgame, I was praying the writers would kill Steve (heroically), and retire Tony, because that feels in-keeping with their characters. I couldn't really imagine Steve retiring - he's too duty-bound to walk away. I can imagine Tony retiring, as long as he can still contribute heavily on the research and tech front.

I don't hate Endgame. I've been deeply invested in too many properties that went off the rails a hundred times worse than Endgame did; by comparison, Endgame feels like a triumph. But I do very much wish they'd done some things differently.
