Fandom: Endgame (no spoilers)
Apr. 28th, 2019 07:39 pmSaw it, not sure I'll have a post for it until I get to see it again, and I haven't settled on whether I should watch it again in the theater now or wait until I finish my very slow marathon and watch it in its appropriate place at the end.
Friend of mine did the full series marathon in the cinema leading up to Endgame. His posting about it made my week and brought a whole bunch of us together who haven't talked much since grad school, so that was fun, everyone bonding over this shared experience that we were actually living vicariously in the first place!
J's brother, J2, would have loved the hell out of this movie. He died in 2013, shortly after Thor: The Dark World, and there have been a ton of movies he would have loved that have made me sad to think about (Winter Soldier! Ragnarok! Black Panther! Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp! Probably Ultron, too, because of the different things he liked that I didn't), but he would have adored Endgame, and I have an ache in my heart over the fact that I never got to share this with him. I rarely talk to J about it because he hasn't really processed J2's death (or my mom's death the year before), but when we talked briefly after I got home, before I went to do some work until midnight and he went to sleep, the first thing I told him was how much J2 would have loved it.
He would have, and I'm sad that he missed all the ways this universe expanded.
I really enjoyed Endgame, am satisfied with how this phase ended, and look forward to the future.
Awhile back I said J's family and my family take turns being the most stressful. 2018 was definitely the year for his family, but my family took the torch back for 2019. We've had some massive illnesses, death in the extended family, pets having to be put down (not my beloved Cuddle Monster), and lots and lots of other losses. We're all exhausted, and it's only April. (Also: how the hell is it April, it feels like it should still be January?!) But Sister has a big trip in May, and I have a big trip shortly after with Dad and J, and life continues.
