(Thanks, Thanos.) It’s a more patient, focused film, even as its plot draws in elements of a dozen other movies. Immediately, “ Endgame” is a more focused piece than “Infinity War” by virtue of having a tighter, smaller cast. “Avengers: Endgame” picks up a few weeks after “The Snap,” as the remaining heroes try to pick up the pieces and figure out if there’s a way to reverse Thanos’ destruction. The disappointing “ Avengers: Infinity War” ended with Thanos finally getting all of the six Infinity Stones he so desperately sought, and then using them to wipe out half of existence, including beloved heroes like Black Panther, Star-Lord, and Spider-Man. The main joy of this film is in how its incredibly complex narrative unfolds, and you can go elsewhere if you want that ruined.
Don’t worry: I will stay very spoiler-free.
