Five years ago today, the Avengers assembled to defeat Thanos
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
The most excited I've ever been for a movie and it completely delivered. Being in the theater with my friends on that first night was an amazing experience.

I was in the crowd opening night, have the purple coin and all, and man that crowd experience will never be defeated. The energy, the screaming, the celebrations, the cheers, the clapping, all of it was so beautiful and truly was everything I wanted
I normally hate crowds reacting loudly to movies but the cheer when Cap caught Mjolnir was earned and awesome.
Never seen so many people screaming and shouting and cheering and clapping and jumping up and down in a movie theatre when Thanos was defeated
5 years have flown by. Certainly one of, if not the most, memorable theater moments in my life was witnessing Cap go off on Thanos with Mjolnir.
It was all downhill from there. This and infinity war is the only ones I've seen besides the joker

Dude, I can still feel the chills just thinking about being in that theater witnessing that, my god the hype was through the roof. It was so loud I'm sure people could hear all the clapping, screaming, yelling and everyone being over the fucking moon
I'll never forget the electric hype in the theater on opening day.
Also, one of the longest media blackouts I did for any piece of media ever.

An all-timer moment in pop culture. I fear I'll never feel that kind of hype in a movie again
Man, the 60fps in this video really makes this scene look ugly haha

yep, and then later when iron man died, the entire theatre was just all quiet sobbing together, a true roller coaster of emotions
It was the greatest cinema experience of my life. The normally quiet crowd (we don't do cheering here lol) was ballistic all through. That entire final hour was a thing of beauty from the cheers of the battle moments, the screams during "I am iron man", the crying during the wrap ups and one last rapturous clapping session when the actors were shown during credits. Even the "5 years later" title card had audible gasps and shocks. There's never going to a movie that will get audiences this engaged.

different joe russo... who also happens to direct movies
everything about it was just about perfect. Cap catching Mjolnir was set up all the way back in Avengers Ultron and totally worth it.
It's still crazy to me that Phase 4 and beyond just don't seem to have acknowledged if there even is a current Avengers team or not.
I was in London for work and was able to grab a ticket a few days before I had tickets back home — the theater was *SO* into everything, it was amazing. Probably the single best theater experience for a movie I've attended. Definitely top 5 theater experiences in my life no doubt.
I just realized I recorded the entire audio of my screening 5 years ago and it's still on my phone lol
Nice to have as a historical artifact and I'm happy I did it. Should probably sync it to the movie just for shits and giggles. Lots of great crowd reactions to all the big moments in there.

Same weekend as the Battle of Winterfell. Even though GoT had been on a death spiral for years by that point, I was still ridiculously excited
LOL I specifically remember the tweets wishing both Stark family's good luck that weekend.
What a fucking great movie, from beginning to end it is so awesome! From the character arcs to the references to past movies in major and minor ways. I know it isn't flawless, but it is to me.
2019: the year of the MCU finale, the GOT finale, and the Star Wars sequel trilogy finale. And this was the only one that stuck the landing.
With hindsight, it's even more incredible that all these franchises wrapped up in 2019. Imagine if Endgame, Rise of Skywalker and GoT S8 were slated to drop in 2020...
Even though I thought the film was a step down from Infinity War, watching Endgame in the theater on opening night was an experience I'll never forget. The place was up for grabs from Portals on.
Thats right! What a weekend it was.

motion smoothing/interpolation on that video is so fucking terrible
anyway
There not being another Avengers movie, or really any connective tissue in 5 years, is fucking crazy. Even taking into account Covid, and what's happened with Majors, there really does not seem to have been a concrete plan for continuing these narratives. Everything is so disjointed - there really should have been a team up movie to cap off Phase 4.
The one positive is that so little of actual consequence has happened, that if the hype is there, it would be easy for a casual viewer to jump back in.
