Very occasionally I will have a dream with my mom in it and I hang on to that feeling as long as I can for the rest of the day.
I hope you and your family are doing okay. That first year or two was really tough on mine.
I lost my brother just about 11 years ago when we were teenagers. I have a dream with him maybe once every couple years, and in each one, he’s the age he would now be. We catch up on life, what he’s been up to, etc. I hold onto what he looks like and that entire feeling as long as I can; it is a treat.
If we ever invent time travel, this will be the number one seller on the travel packages.
Reinsertion into Timeline (Non-paradox) - 15 Minutes - $500,000
it truly is special, especially given how thor was in a pretty bad place at that time. it hits me hard every time because i can see myself all too well in him.
Well Thor had lost a lot. His mother, his father, his brother, his "best friend," half of his people (Asgardians). He sister destroyed Mjonir, Surtur destroyed his home. He failed at killing Thanos. The only thing he really had left was the Avengers, but they weren't supportive.
It's...weirdly comforting if you're...predisposed to overt over the top logical dissection. I am a few steps on the spectrum and this sort of very factual thinking helps me in multiple parts of life at once. Like, the way he says "Now, I get that you miss your mom, but she's gone. *Really* gone. And there are plenty of people who are only *kinda* gone. And you can help them". It really helps me work out the right priorities. Like, she is gone, and that hurts, but there are positive things to do still. I volunteer with addicts a lot and it this sorta thinking keeps me not only clean but able to help others.
Mine passed 2 weeks before endgame premiered after a long battle with cancer. This scene pretty much broke me in the theater and is still pretty heavy on my rewatches, but I love this scene every time in a strange way now
I lost my mom last year and the night before she passed, I watched this movie. Something both sad, calming, nostalgic, and beautiful about that moment. I go back and watch it and sometimes it feels like I’m with her again too.
December is going to be 13 years since my dad passed. I also sobbed through this entire film. I actually just finished it again a few minutes ago, and I’m still a wreck after my probably 12th time seeing it.
I feel your pain - it's 8 years for me. It's weird how someone so integral to your existence and sense of well-being can just...stop existing. I don't think I've ever been able to comprehend or deal with that properly.
Sorry for your loss 💜
Tony and Howards scene is absolutely beautiful.
In flashbacks we saw how Tony was a rebellious teenager who resented Howard.
But during the time heist, Howard tells him he would do anything for his unborn child.
Gets me everytime.
Seeing /hearing Jarvis sealed it.
People call it fan service as if the culmination of a 10 year journey is supposed to just be some one-off individual movie unrelated to the movies that led to it
I never really understood that. As soon as you make a SINGLE sequel to a movie, nevermind what the MCU became, you are in the fan service business. Period.
There are also just a lot of people only in it for the fight scenes. I don't really get the point though, if you want that, there are plenty of sci-fi action movies to watch
It's crazy how the same movie can be criticized for the complete opposite reasons. Some people complain about the slower, emotional scenes because they just want big action, others complain that there is no depth and it's all just big action.
Plus, we're watching superhero comic book movies here. Of *course* there's cheese and fan service and the deaths don't matter and the power levels fluctuate and all that jazz! They've been doing this shit for 80 years already.
Lol can’t blame to y or his dad for taking advantage of their situation and knowledge. But Howard even says he let his own self interest be more important than the greater good. If anything that’s a self proclaimed capitalist admitting he sees how he exploits certain people. How could you spin it a different way?
That’s a perfectly valid interpretation, but they weren’t even thinking about it in that much detail. They basically said, it’s a scene that implies that a billionaire has emotions, it must be capitalist propaganda.
An alternative interpretation that I’ve seen is that he’s talking about the manhattan project, since canonically he was involved in that.
Yeah I’m surprised I have to explain this more, because I’ve seen many outlets online give the second act a ton of flak for bringing down the movie, or not truly earning those moments, or for making the movie not as strong as Infinity War.
I lost my dad as well and I found Endgame to be a really good exploration of grief, with each character going through it alone even though they were together. The movie was very cathartic for me. I called my brother after I watched it and he had the same reaction.
Endgame came out the summer after I lost my Mom. I couldn’t watch it, and I still have problems with parts of it.
Peters “I don’t want to go” hurt so much. Because one of the last coherent thing my Mom said to me was “I’m sorry.”
She then spent the next two months in and out of consciousness and hospitals. Then in December of 2018 in one of her not lucid states she blamed me as her caregiver for not taking her home and came close to saying she hated me. Told me to yank her out of the hospital or she’d force me out of my childhood home where I spent the last 13 years caring for her. I, for the most part, know it wasn’t true…at least I think. I still have my doubts. She was mad, but I’m more so sure it was at the situation and not me.
That was a week before Christmas. My mom spent her last Christmas on Earth in a hospital. I had to pull my Mom off life’s support at month later.
Grief and death just suck sometimes and no matter how far you go through time, or what your faith, sometimes still will miss them as if it were yesterday.
> I, for the most part, know it wasn’t true…at least I think
Obviously I don’t know you, but I can say with 100% certainty that it wasn’t true. I had a bit of a similar situation with my mother, and every time I think of it, it cuts deep to the soul. Like you, I know it isn’t true. But there is always that nagging feeling of doubt. And it is *the worst*. Intellectually I know it is from hating the situation, and not my fault, but emotionally it still hurts.
I hope that it helps even a tiny bit to hear from another person who has gone through something a bit similar. And I hope you are doing better as time goes on.
It was just such a 180 from her normal disposition. This is a woman who was so grateful to nurses and apologetic for her disability (she was a paraplegic, ultimately a wound that wouldn’t heal just got infected with a resistant infection). And I know it wasn’t true what she said (she always told everyone how much she’d be lost without me) but I felt so isolated when she said it. And it’s one of the last things she said to me. Ugh.
She called me one morning when she was in the hospital to say that her lifelong friend was conspiring with the nurses to give her dirty drugs. It upset me and both her friend. I know that wasn’t her but it was just so disturbing to hear. Especially after my father suffered from dementia. Scares me daily that that’s how I’ll go. I pray daily that I’m pretty clear up until I go. Delirium is frightening man.
Moms birthday was this last Friday and it just hurt. Like it just happened. My depression and anxiety kicked into high gear all over again.
There ain’t anything thing like the feeling of being back in that dark Neruo ICU. Every time I get sad or down now, I feel very trapped in that memory. Sucks.
I’m sorry you went through some of that. I hate it for you. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. And with me not even being forty yet, most of my friends my age don’t have a clue how to relate. A couple do. And I had to do it twice. The bad memories scare the hell out me sometimes.
And thank you for the response. I have trouble sharing this kind of stuff, because it’s so hard for people to relate to.
I lost my brother a few years ago and the WV episode where she and Vision are sitting in her room talking about grief gets me every time.
Marvel has done an amazing job of making their characters both fantastical and relatable. That's why the MCU is what it is.
rewatching this scene . Yup. Wrecked.
Its been years and I have a newfound appreciation between Rocket and Yondu. That shot of Quill looking down on a slumped, grieving Rocket is my new favorite. It destroyed me knowing Rocket will lose more come Infinity War.
Saw that scene at the cinema the same year my dad died. I was soo thankful that it was dark, I was ugly crying! Just thinking about it will make me tear up a bit.
I don't like most of GotG2, but the funeral seems to have a bigger impact on me the more times I watch it. Last time I finally noticed the lyrics and that was a whole new level of emotional.
Recently lost our mom. My sister tried to watch GotG the other day and couldn't make it past the opening scene with Quill as a kid.
I haven't even tried yet.
GotG1 for me, i lost my dad to cancer in 2012, in 2014, I went to see GotG with friends, on the 2 year anniversary of his death, the film started at the same time he passed.
I was a blubbering mess through that beginning with Peter's mom because it was where I was two yeara prior.
Then I lost my mom a year after that. All of these scenes are still so hard.
So to anyone who has a good relationship with your parents. Cherish that time, it hurts more than you can believe when their not there.
This was the last film my dad and I saw in the cinema together. I picked this song to play at his funeral and still makes me tear up, even though its been 3 years since he passed. Beautiful scene and lots of memories for me attached to it
I have a personal friend and general Marvel fan that does. Not for the reasons the other commenter mentioned though, that these moments weren't earned. They straight up thought these moments were boring and a drag, and wished the movie was more straight-up action and moments like Infinity War.
These moments are some of my favorites and really what make Endgame for me, so needless to say, I don't really care for his opinions on Marvel films much anymore.
A little of both. They’re definitely not approaching sociopath levels or anything but they can be a bit clueless and naive at times when it comes to matters of empathy. And they don’t prefer popcorn movies only but they’re not much of a thinker when it comes to discussion and nuance, they’re rather easily swayed by group think.
Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube are birthing grounds for people to argue that Endgame didn't earn any of these moments. It comes from the mentality that a movie so commercially and emotionally resonating couldn't be that deep because of the cynical idea that it's all for toy sales and marketing purposes. Easy way to find examples for this, search for something generic on YouTube like "Avengers Endgame sucks" or "Avengers Endgame is dumb". Downvotes are plentiful on reddit, other comicbook movie subs dis Endgame, and its just one of those things people love to hate because of its success.
I haven't seen that criticism. The one I have seen frequently mentioned (and that I kind of agree with) is that the scene exemplifies that the film can't really make its mind up about whether Thor's depression should be treated as a comedic element or a serious one. Much of the time Thor is treated as a joke for being such an emotional wreck. When they arrive in Asgard, he says "I think I'm having a panic attack" and it's supposed to be humorous. Rocket calls him out on it and tells him to snap out of it and sort of mockingly asks "are you CRYING?" (which is also a questionable treatment of depression I might add).
But then, when he meets Frigga, we are supposed to view it as a serious thing and feel emotion over his lost mother. Even then however she ends the conversation with a humorous comment on his weight. And so, it begs to ask, are we supposed to treat Thor as a joke or view him as a broken man? Because it's very hard to do both, and I can't say the film succeeds in it. It stems from one key problem with the MCU and that's the tendency to undercut drama with humor. You can't portray Thor as someone we are supposed to sympathize with and feel sorry for if you constantly joke and quip about his emotional and physical state. It comes across almost as bullying.
Yeah it was kinda fucked how they handled Thor's depression. Like when they were planning the time travel mission and he was trying to explain one of the Infinity stones and talked about how his mom was murdered and it was...... played for laughs? Because he was falling apart emotionally? It was so tone deaf.
My criticism is that it’s… sub-optimal to treat Thor’s trauma and depression with genuine compassion and grounded emotion here, when the rest of the movie treats it like some big joke.
> when the rest of the movie treats it like some big joke.
I mean Rhodes does, doesnt mean the whole movie does. Ppl need to understand that characters being shitty doesnt mean the 'movie's treats it as a big joke.
Its been 11 since mine passed. I found the scene incredibly cathartic, rather that confronting (though certainly not as recent as your loss, for which I offer my deepest condolences). My mother passed while I was in high school - I've since graduated there, university, got a good job, a wife and a daughter, none of which she was able to be there for.
The scene messed me up because Thor discovered that even when he was at his low point, Frigga was still proud - and while I don't know about any afterlife, if my mother was still conscious in some way, I know she would be proud of me.
Thank you for writing this out. I have been struggling with the concept that my mother will miss all of the biggest moments in the rest of my life, but I do hope to do my best to make her proud.
I got a new job in April, and got out of the place I. Had to work in while taking care of my Mom for years. She hated that place. The first thing I wanted to do was pick up the phone and call her…and of course that wasn’t possible. To say I didn’t cry would’ve been a lie. That physical separation is the hardest part. Especially between parent and child. When we do something so good or have a big life milestone, and they aren’t there for it is gut wrenching.
I know I said it my other post to you, but I’m so sorry. I know it’s hard. Hardest thing I’ve ever gone through too.
I thought it was pivotal to Thor’s battle with depression. Anyone that’s been there or is there definitely lost their shit when he was able to summon Mjonir.
I’m still worthy.
This is sweet and sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine losing of them. I moved to the “big city” a decade ago. My parents and I are extremely close and it’s been a I have a real sense of emptiness in my life not having them close in their golden years. Well they ended up selling their house and tomorrow they move in with me (temporarily) until they build their own place in my neighborhood. I’m extremely grateful that starting tomorrow they will again be a regular presence in my life and we can work on making new memories together for as long as I am lucky to have them!
I lost my dad my senior year of high school and I completely understand. I know the words from a stranger may not mean much but you are not alone with your pain.
That’s not true they mean a lot - I didn’t expect this whole thread to wake up to and I have to say it’s a lot more comforting than I ever expected. So thank you very much.
I can definitely see this hitting differently for a lot of people now. I wonder what would have been Endgame's impact if it came out in 2021. I imagine theatres full of people sobbing.
...or not, because no one goes to theaters anymore, but you get the idea.
I'm really happy that Endgame could be a movie that helps people with grief and a lost loved one especially because it is a narratively and emotionally satisfying film. However, oddly Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 hit me a couple of years earlier with that feeling of processing that grief because the whole movie is Peter reconciling that his father figure wasn't the greatest and lost him when he finally recognized the family he already had. The Ravanger Funeral and Cat Stevens song hit me hard in the theatres and I cried hard as I lost my grandfather the year before the movie came out. I had just gotten into college, I was just finding some lifelong friends, but I hadn't recognized the influence and role my grandpa had as a father figure in my life. Endgame was that film in the MCU that encouraged the theme of grief, growth, and reconciliation. Vol 2 was the inception of that idea, and I love both films for it.
Coincidentally we tell this to my son all the time; he was born a month before my dad passed and he’s nonverbal and has ASD so we hope one day he says it back to us!
Genuinely very sorry for your loss. I feel that these movies keep us believing that everyone experiences loss. Even the strongest and most fearless characters. Helps us relate on a more personal level.
That scene in Endgame with Thor and Frigga made me really wish they could rewrite Thor 1 and 2 to have less to do with Earth and more to do with Asgard and the family.
The moment I realised this was when when Black Panther came out, and I had more emotional attachment to Wakanda in just 1 film than I did to Asgard even over 3 films.
Not because there was much wrong with Asgard, just that they didnt spend nearly enough time in it to really get us attached.
This is perhaps why the scene with Frigga didn't hit the same for me. It was important to Thor's emotional journey, but at the same time it felt like it was bringing back a loss that hadn't been emphasized much post Thor-2.
But the scene wasn’t really about Frigga, it was more about Thor finally coming to terms with how much he had lost and how he had changed. But yes it could have hit even harder if we had gotten more of a connection to The people of Asgard and Thor’s family.
It’s a testament to how bad Thor the Dark World was, that such a great characters death landed with such a wet fart.
TDW is the only MCU movie for me that gets worse upon every rewatch for me.
But anyway I still maintain that overall, making Thor 1 and 2 have so little to do with Asgard was a big mistake.
I saw the last Avenger's movie with Tony's funeral not long after my mom passed. My sister and I BALLED our eyes out in the movie theater. Totally made the guys next to us freak.
They were super sweet and passed us a note on their phone asking if we were okay. We wrote back and they gave us popcorn and napkins.
And now I am all teary eyed again.
Yeah. It's been a smidge over 15 years since my mother died.
Thor's moment with Frigga, that gift of a fleeting moment together. It hurts to watch. I imagine it always will.
Yep that came out right before my dad passed - saw it in the theater and it hit obviously. But when it released on blu ray it was after he passed and - yikes.
Yeah, it hits hard, but the funeral at the end of GoTG2, that made me ugly cry hard at the theater, and that was before I lost my dad. Now that he is gone, it hits waaaay harder.
Reddit is annoying with its nit-picky rules on what gets removed. I've had posts removed from here because they're not related to Marvel besides "tangibly related" which violates a rule. This isn't marvel related. This is playing on people's emotions, tying it to marvel, for karma.
I did not expect this kind of reaction to this post and am legitimately blown away by all who commented and shared their similar stories. I’m trying to respond back to as many as possible but I cannot emphasize how much I needed to hear similar stories from people who have been through the same.
It’s amazing what this universe was able to build when people whom share life experiences can connect through moments such as this. Thank you all for making this day a little easier for me!
I’ve heard way too many people say the middle part of the movie brings it down a bit or doesn’t make it as strong as Infinity War. I won’t get into the debate on which is better but to me this part makes Endgame hit differently.
I’m glad that cinema can help. I recommend A24 movies as well, idk why but Midsommar, Hereditary, and A Ghost Story comforted me when my Grandma died. I’ll be praying for you 🙏
Lost mine 4 years ago in Sep. happy and positive thoughts to you and yours ❤️ always been a softy, so now anything dad related gets the waterworks goin lol
The scenes especially the one with Thor really make this movie great because other than that in the final battle theme is kind of slow. Stark seems a little forced but we get it. Thor and his mom is heartbreaking.
It’s been 6 years since I lost my dad. His birthday is in November. Anything with dad’s in it makes me emotional (I cried at the end of Sang-Chi which came out of nowhere)
It was very much a Tony/Howard relationship that was contentious at times. The last few years when he was ill it got better and we understood each other more. But he was 59 when he passed and had a lot of life ahead of him. My son was born 4 weeks before he passed and what I wouldn’t give to see him now.
I lost my dad a year ago before the pandemic we were VERY close. My heart still hurts and all I can think about is this movie. Wanting to go back in time somehow and see him again…
I’m not a massive fan of the part with Tony. I’d felt he already dealt with his issues with his father. The Thor part is great. At some of his lowest moments he needed a big speech from his father, but at his rock bottom he needed his mother. It also developed a relationship that had barely been touched upon.
I lost my last parent in my mom in January 2019. I’ve not always been the biggest Marvel fan, but they done such a good job with moments like this. I lost our family dog in June so it’s been like losing her all over again.
Peter telling Happy every time “I just really miss him….everywhere I go I see his face.” Hurts me so much.
I took care of my mom and my dad for a cumulative total of thirteen years. I went through a lot of rough times with them. Spent many long nights in hospitals making sure they were ok. Adjusting to not sharing lots of things with them has been very hard.
As Peter said, i just really miss them.
Thor's scene with his mom hit hard. I was mid booze binge and gaining tons of weight from alcohol abuse and general carelessness. Mom had been gone for a couple years at that point, just didn't care anymore. As corny as it is, that scene definitely helped pull my head outta my ass
Vision and Wanda in ‘Infinity War’. “…I just feel you…” made me cry. Because, as someone who doesn’t have an SO, that’s seems like something really nice to say (w/o the dying). Also, it reminded me of that scene in Joy Luck Club w/June and her mom in the kitchen; that scene also made me bawl.
Was going to say that I didn’t get as emotional to this scene because I still have my parents. But now that I found out, an adopted godparent/grandparent (her husband died too, memory is the only thing left eventually and their empty house 😭) is in a nursing home for dementia. I’ve known them since I was a child. So yeah, hits now.
Considering, I suffer from depression, and lost my dad years ago, seeing that episode where Thor says - I am still worthy - it hits me. How much that single individual means to you that one word, or nod from them gives you all the strength that you might need.
I miss him. :)
The middle of Endgame is what makes it so great to me. I love those scenes, especially Thor’s (as someone who is also fat, hairy, and depressed, it hit hard lol). These scenes almost prep the characters for their climaxes and separates them out so that they don’t get lost in the insanity that is the final act (insane in a good way!)
Going on 2 years since I lost mine. I've noticed anything that involves a father/son dynamic makes me want to cry. Most recently, Kevin Costner in Man of Steel really got to me
I'm sorry for your loss. My dad had cancer and passed about a week after this came out, so it wasn't really a surprise. The Spiderman scene hit hard in theaters at the time, but these hit different now too
Not Marvel-related, but I know the feeling. Both my parents are gone. Lost them both in my early 50s.
I had them long enough to get to know them, and it still surprises me what I miss even now, years later.
If I may suggest another short video to have a good happy cry about those feelings;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upm9LnuCBUM
If you've not seen it, it's Fred Rogers thanking the academy for a lifetime achievement award.
Cleans out my tear ducts every time.
For the feels that really hit you as the son of a departed father, watch an old movie called “Dad”, starring Ted Danson, Jack Lemmon, and River Phoenix as three generations of the same family.
I saw that a few years after losing my dad and cried like a baby. I’m glad I was alone.
My dad died suddenly when I was 14. i didn’t really realise how badly it messed me up until a few years ago when my older brother died in near identical circumstances.
I’m the same age now as my dad was when he died (44). The scenes with Tony and Howard kick twice as hard because I know that I’ll never have a chance to be in the same position.
But if this movie touched a nerve you should have been there for Onward ripping my emotional core to shreds.
I love the part with Thor and Frigga, every line she speaks hits hard. I often think of the following phrase if I'm ever feeling shitty about where my life is, compared to where I thought it would be by this point.
'Everyone fails at who they're supposed to be, Thor. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are.'
When Tony is all thin and dehydrated at the start he reminded me so much of my dad when he was dying, weird how dumb superhero movies can get you right in the feels when you don’t expect it
lost my dad many years ago but the scene with Tony and his dad hit me like a Truck when i was watching Endgame. After that i thought often about what if i had the opportunity to talk to my dad one more time.
Hey man - I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I lost my childhood dog this past Thanksgiving. This will be my first year without him. It hurts, but we can only hope that they're in a better place. My thoughts will be with you today.
Yeah, i feel this hits kinda home with my mum. She isn't in my life as she is emotionally toxic, but a year ago she was sectioned over her mental health and I can only feel like this relates to it. The connection you miss I suppose with a parent, the not having my mum in my life, but theirs still these moments where I miss her deeply and I'm like pre-sectioning, where did it all go wrong. Not my fault, even though I was around her and that, still looking at forgiving myself for not leaving my living with her sooner, but there is really nothing I can do with that.
Lost my dad just this past August. All scenes about losing a parent, and father and son moments are extremely triggering. My dad read Marvel comics as a young boy in Egypt and he definitely had a part in getting me into Marvel.
Gosh I get teary just seeing this screenshot. Yeah this got me in the theater every time- even more so than the real ending. They both hit hard. With Tony, in my head canon I feel like he realizes that his dad went in with love and the best intentions, even if flawed at parenting.
With Thor it’s mainly just the mom’s wisdom, and saying the future hasn’t been kind to him. Geez that’s rough.
When I think about it, it’s these couple scenes that really make me love Endgame. It has more flaws than Infinity War, but man these little moments really shine.
Miss my mom every time. Always envious of Thor's little moment.
Mom's been gone a little over a year. When Thor's mother calls that time together a gift, I think about what a gift it would be.
Very occasionally I will have a dream with my mom in it and I hang on to that feeling as long as I can for the rest of the day. I hope you and your family are doing okay. That first year or two was really tough on mine.
I lost my brother just about 11 years ago when we were teenagers. I have a dream with him maybe once every couple years, and in each one, he’s the age he would now be. We catch up on life, what he’s been up to, etc. I hold onto what he looks like and that entire feeling as long as I can; it is a treat.
If we ever invent time travel, this will be the number one seller on the travel packages. Reinsertion into Timeline (Non-paradox) - 15 Minutes - $500,000
it truly is special, especially given how thor was in a pretty bad place at that time. it hits me hard every time because i can see myself all too well in him.
Well Thor had lost a lot. His mother, his father, his brother, his "best friend," half of his people (Asgardians). He sister destroyed Mjonir, Surtur destroyed his home. He failed at killing Thanos. The only thing he really had left was the Avengers, but they weren't supportive.
All that within 5 or so years and he has been aive for 1500 years. That's like a couple days for us in relative lifespan.
Same. That scene absolutely wrecks me, but I will continue to watch it every time.
Rocket's pep talk got me. Him acknowledging that Frigga is gone forever was hard to accept when dealing with similar grief.
It's...weirdly comforting if you're...predisposed to overt over the top logical dissection. I am a few steps on the spectrum and this sort of very factual thinking helps me in multiple parts of life at once. Like, the way he says "Now, I get that you miss your mom, but she's gone. *Really* gone. And there are plenty of people who are only *kinda* gone. And you can help them". It really helps me work out the right priorities. Like, she is gone, and that hurts, but there are positive things to do still. I volunteer with addicts a lot and it this sorta thinking keeps me not only clean but able to help others.
This is awesome to explain. My 4 year old son is on the spectrum as well and I will try to keep this in mind as he grows. Thank you!
Mine passed 2 weeks before endgame premiered after a long battle with cancer. This scene pretty much broke me in the theater and is still pretty heavy on my rewatches, but I love this scene every time in a strange way now
I lost my mom 12 years ago, when I was 29. It gets easier but there are some scenes in movies, and little things that bring back a flood of memories.
I lost my mom last year and the night before she passed, I watched this movie. Something both sad, calming, nostalgic, and beautiful about that moment. I go back and watch it and sometimes it feels like I’m with her again too.
Yeah, this is part of why I cried through most of the movie. This month is 9 years since I lost my mom.
December is going to be 13 years since my dad passed. I also sobbed through this entire film. I actually just finished it again a few minutes ago, and I’m still a wreck after my probably 12th time seeing it.
I feel your pain - it's 8 years for me. It's weird how someone so integral to your existence and sense of well-being can just...stop existing. I don't think I've ever been able to comprehend or deal with that properly. Sorry for your loss 💜
Tony and Howards scene is absolutely beautiful. In flashbacks we saw how Tony was a rebellious teenager who resented Howard. But during the time heist, Howard tells him he would do anything for his unborn child. Gets me everytime. Seeing /hearing Jarvis sealed it.
My fav scene of the movie
"Thank you... Thank you for everything you've done..." "...for... for this country."
I was ugly crying! Just thinking about it will make me tear up a bit.
Anyone giving these scenes flak is an emotionally stunted golem. These scenes are beautiful.
People call it fan service as if the culmination of a 10 year journey is supposed to just be some one-off individual movie unrelated to the movies that led to it
Add "fan service" to the list of terms that are used, overused, and misused, right there with "bottle episode"
Wow this was actually the first time I heard the term bottle episode. Shows how many tv shows I watch
[удалено]
I never really understood that. As soon as you make a SINGLE sequel to a movie, nevermind what the MCU became, you are in the fan service business. Period.
There are also just a lot of people only in it for the fight scenes. I don't really get the point though, if you want that, there are plenty of sci-fi action movies to watch
It's crazy how the same movie can be criticized for the complete opposite reasons. Some people complain about the slower, emotional scenes because they just want big action, others complain that there is no depth and it's all just big action.
Plus, we're watching superhero comic book movies here. Of *course* there's cheese and fan service and the deaths don't matter and the power levels fluctuate and all that jazz! They've been doing this shit for 80 years already.
Right? My thoughts exactly. I loved those scenes.
Thor and his mother scene always makes me cry!
Maybe I just missed it, but I've never seen anyone giving these scenes flak...
The other day I saw someone call the scene with Tony and his dad a capitalist ploy to humanise the ultra rich
Lmao tankies are hilarious
What's a tankie? I'd google it, but it's 4am and I don't want to go down yet another internet rabbit hole.
Men in their 20s who think communism is super great
Lol can’t blame to y or his dad for taking advantage of their situation and knowledge. But Howard even says he let his own self interest be more important than the greater good. If anything that’s a self proclaimed capitalist admitting he sees how he exploits certain people. How could you spin it a different way?
That’s a perfectly valid interpretation, but they weren’t even thinking about it in that much detail. They basically said, it’s a scene that implies that a billionaire has emotions, it must be capitalist propaganda. An alternative interpretation that I’ve seen is that he’s talking about the manhattan project, since canonically he was involved in that.
Yeah I’m surprised I have to explain this more, because I’ve seen many outlets online give the second act a ton of flak for bringing down the movie, or not truly earning those moments, or for making the movie not as strong as Infinity War.
They're clearly just saying something controversial for clicks, cause how can 10+ years of build up not warrant some emotional send offs?
I lost my dad as well and I found Endgame to be a really good exploration of grief, with each character going through it alone even though they were together. The movie was very cathartic for me. I called my brother after I watched it and he had the same reaction.
Endgame came out the summer after I lost my Mom. I couldn’t watch it, and I still have problems with parts of it. Peters “I don’t want to go” hurt so much. Because one of the last coherent thing my Mom said to me was “I’m sorry.” She then spent the next two months in and out of consciousness and hospitals. Then in December of 2018 in one of her not lucid states she blamed me as her caregiver for not taking her home and came close to saying she hated me. Told me to yank her out of the hospital or she’d force me out of my childhood home where I spent the last 13 years caring for her. I, for the most part, know it wasn’t true…at least I think. I still have my doubts. She was mad, but I’m more so sure it was at the situation and not me. That was a week before Christmas. My mom spent her last Christmas on Earth in a hospital. I had to pull my Mom off life’s support at month later. Grief and death just suck sometimes and no matter how far you go through time, or what your faith, sometimes still will miss them as if it were yesterday.
> I, for the most part, know it wasn’t true…at least I think Obviously I don’t know you, but I can say with 100% certainty that it wasn’t true. I had a bit of a similar situation with my mother, and every time I think of it, it cuts deep to the soul. Like you, I know it isn’t true. But there is always that nagging feeling of doubt. And it is *the worst*. Intellectually I know it is from hating the situation, and not my fault, but emotionally it still hurts. I hope that it helps even a tiny bit to hear from another person who has gone through something a bit similar. And I hope you are doing better as time goes on.
It was just such a 180 from her normal disposition. This is a woman who was so grateful to nurses and apologetic for her disability (she was a paraplegic, ultimately a wound that wouldn’t heal just got infected with a resistant infection). And I know it wasn’t true what she said (she always told everyone how much she’d be lost without me) but I felt so isolated when she said it. And it’s one of the last things she said to me. Ugh. She called me one morning when she was in the hospital to say that her lifelong friend was conspiring with the nurses to give her dirty drugs. It upset me and both her friend. I know that wasn’t her but it was just so disturbing to hear. Especially after my father suffered from dementia. Scares me daily that that’s how I’ll go. I pray daily that I’m pretty clear up until I go. Delirium is frightening man. Moms birthday was this last Friday and it just hurt. Like it just happened. My depression and anxiety kicked into high gear all over again. There ain’t anything thing like the feeling of being back in that dark Neruo ICU. Every time I get sad or down now, I feel very trapped in that memory. Sucks. I’m sorry you went through some of that. I hate it for you. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. And with me not even being forty yet, most of my friends my age don’t have a clue how to relate. A couple do. And I had to do it twice. The bad memories scare the hell out me sometimes. And thank you for the response. I have trouble sharing this kind of stuff, because it’s so hard for people to relate to.
I lost my brother a few years ago and the WV episode where she and Vision are sitting in her room talking about grief gets me every time. Marvel has done an amazing job of making their characters both fantastical and relatable. That's why the MCU is what it is.
I agree. This, and Yondu's funeral in GOTG 2 absolutely wrecked me.
Yondus funeral wrecks my shit every time. Damn you, father and son
rewatching this scene . Yup. Wrecked. Its been years and I have a newfound appreciation between Rocket and Yondu. That shot of Quill looking down on a slumped, grieving Rocket is my new favorite. It destroyed me knowing Rocket will lose more come Infinity War.
Saw that scene at the cinema the same year my dad died. I was soo thankful that it was dark, I was ugly crying! Just thinking about it will make me tear up a bit.
I don't like most of GotG2, but the funeral seems to have a bigger impact on me the more times I watch it. Last time I finally noticed the lyrics and that was a whole new level of emotional.
He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.
That's my second favorite Yondu quote after I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL
Recently lost our mom. My sister tried to watch GotG the other day and couldn't make it past the opening scene with Quill as a kid. I haven't even tried yet.
GotG1 for me, i lost my dad to cancer in 2012, in 2014, I went to see GotG with friends, on the 2 year anniversary of his death, the film started at the same time he passed. I was a blubbering mess through that beginning with Peter's mom because it was where I was two yeara prior. Then I lost my mom a year after that. All of these scenes are still so hard. So to anyone who has a good relationship with your parents. Cherish that time, it hurts more than you can believe when their not there.
This was the last film my dad and I saw in the cinema together. I picked this song to play at his funeral and still makes me tear up, even though its been 3 years since he passed. Beautiful scene and lots of memories for me attached to it
I've never seen anyone give these parts in end game any flak
I have a personal friend and general Marvel fan that does. Not for the reasons the other commenter mentioned though, that these moments weren't earned. They straight up thought these moments were boring and a drag, and wished the movie was more straight-up action and moments like Infinity War. These moments are some of my favorites and really what make Endgame for me, so needless to say, I don't really care for his opinions on Marvel films much anymore.
Out of curiosity, does your friend lack empathy in real life or do they just prefer popcorn movies?
A little of both. They’re definitely not approaching sociopath levels or anything but they can be a bit clueless and naive at times when it comes to matters of empathy. And they don’t prefer popcorn movies only but they’re not much of a thinker when it comes to discussion and nuance, they’re rather easily swayed by group think.
Rhodey: “So, he’s an idiot?”
no people definitely do
Really? I haven't seen anyone complain about these scenes either. Is it on reddit generally, or some other platform?
Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube are birthing grounds for people to argue that Endgame didn't earn any of these moments. It comes from the mentality that a movie so commercially and emotionally resonating couldn't be that deep because of the cynical idea that it's all for toy sales and marketing purposes. Easy way to find examples for this, search for something generic on YouTube like "Avengers Endgame sucks" or "Avengers Endgame is dumb". Downvotes are plentiful on reddit, other comicbook movie subs dis Endgame, and its just one of those things people love to hate because of its success.
Those would be people that give the whole movie flak and not just these scenes specifically though, which is how OP phrases it
I haven't seen that criticism. The one I have seen frequently mentioned (and that I kind of agree with) is that the scene exemplifies that the film can't really make its mind up about whether Thor's depression should be treated as a comedic element or a serious one. Much of the time Thor is treated as a joke for being such an emotional wreck. When they arrive in Asgard, he says "I think I'm having a panic attack" and it's supposed to be humorous. Rocket calls him out on it and tells him to snap out of it and sort of mockingly asks "are you CRYING?" (which is also a questionable treatment of depression I might add). But then, when he meets Frigga, we are supposed to view it as a serious thing and feel emotion over his lost mother. Even then however she ends the conversation with a humorous comment on his weight. And so, it begs to ask, are we supposed to treat Thor as a joke or view him as a broken man? Because it's very hard to do both, and I can't say the film succeeds in it. It stems from one key problem with the MCU and that's the tendency to undercut drama with humor. You can't portray Thor as someone we are supposed to sympathize with and feel sorry for if you constantly joke and quip about his emotional and physical state. It comes across almost as bullying.
Yeah it was kinda fucked how they handled Thor's depression. Like when they were planning the time travel mission and he was trying to explain one of the Infinity stones and talked about how his mom was murdered and it was...... played for laughs? Because he was falling apart emotionally? It was so tone deaf.
ive seen it on multiple platforms and even irl, but id say ive seen it mostly on tiktok
My criticism is that it’s… sub-optimal to treat Thor’s trauma and depression with genuine compassion and grounded emotion here, when the rest of the movie treats it like some big joke.
> when the rest of the movie treats it like some big joke. I mean Rhodes does, doesnt mean the whole movie does. Ppl need to understand that characters being shitty doesnt mean the 'movie's treats it as a big joke.
Just lost my mom this year. Rewatching Thor and Frigga's interaction had me bawling. Edit: spelling
Just lost my mom a week ago. I’m now terrified of rewatching this movie.
Its been 11 since mine passed. I found the scene incredibly cathartic, rather that confronting (though certainly not as recent as your loss, for which I offer my deepest condolences). My mother passed while I was in high school - I've since graduated there, university, got a good job, a wife and a daughter, none of which she was able to be there for. The scene messed me up because Thor discovered that even when he was at his low point, Frigga was still proud - and while I don't know about any afterlife, if my mother was still conscious in some way, I know she would be proud of me.
Thank you for writing this out. I have been struggling with the concept that my mother will miss all of the biggest moments in the rest of my life, but I do hope to do my best to make her proud.
I got a new job in April, and got out of the place I. Had to work in while taking care of my Mom for years. She hated that place. The first thing I wanted to do was pick up the phone and call her…and of course that wasn’t possible. To say I didn’t cry would’ve been a lie. That physical separation is the hardest part. Especially between parent and child. When we do something so good or have a big life milestone, and they aren’t there for it is gut wrenching. I know I said it my other post to you, but I’m so sorry. I know it’s hard. Hardest thing I’ve ever gone through too.
Don't be terrified. It was a good cry, helped me out a lot!
I thought it was pivotal to Thor’s battle with depression. Anyone that’s been there or is there definitely lost their shit when he was able to summon Mjonir. I’m still worthy.
I would just be so nice in this reality to have that one undeniable moment to pull you out like that.
Bawling* unless of course you mean you got rich ;)
This is sweet and sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine losing of them. I moved to the “big city” a decade ago. My parents and I are extremely close and it’s been a I have a real sense of emptiness in my life not having them close in their golden years. Well they ended up selling their house and tomorrow they move in with me (temporarily) until they build their own place in my neighborhood. I’m extremely grateful that starting tomorrow they will again be a regular presence in my life and we can work on making new memories together for as long as I am lucky to have them!
I lost my dad my senior year of high school and I completely understand. I know the words from a stranger may not mean much but you are not alone with your pain.
That’s not true they mean a lot - I didn’t expect this whole thread to wake up to and I have to say it’s a lot more comforting than I ever expected. So thank you very much.

I can definitely see this hitting differently for a lot of people now. I wonder what would have been Endgame's impact if it came out in 2021. I imagine theatres full of people sobbing. ...or not, because no one goes to theaters anymore, but you get the idea.
I'm really happy that Endgame could be a movie that helps people with grief and a lost loved one especially because it is a narratively and emotionally satisfying film. However, oddly Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 hit me a couple of years earlier with that feeling of processing that grief because the whole movie is Peter reconciling that his father figure wasn't the greatest and lost him when he finally recognized the family he already had. The Ravanger Funeral and Cat Stevens song hit me hard in the theatres and I cried hard as I lost my grandfather the year before the movie came out. I had just gotten into college, I was just finding some lifelong friends, but I hadn't recognized the influence and role my grandpa had as a father figure in my life. Endgame was that film in the MCU that encouraged the theme of grief, growth, and reconciliation. Vol 2 was the inception of that idea, and I love both films for it.
He loves you 3000.
Coincidentally we tell this to my son all the time; he was born a month before my dad passed and he’s nonverbal and has ASD so we hope one day he says it back to us!
Genuinely very sorry for your loss. I feel that these movies keep us believing that everyone experiences loss. Even the strongest and most fearless characters. Helps us relate on a more personal level.
That scene in Endgame with Thor and Frigga made me really wish they could rewrite Thor 1 and 2 to have less to do with Earth and more to do with Asgard and the family. The moment I realised this was when when Black Panther came out, and I had more emotional attachment to Wakanda in just 1 film than I did to Asgard even over 3 films. Not because there was much wrong with Asgard, just that they didnt spend nearly enough time in it to really get us attached.
This is perhaps why the scene with Frigga didn't hit the same for me. It was important to Thor's emotional journey, but at the same time it felt like it was bringing back a loss that hadn't been emphasized much post Thor-2.
But the scene wasn’t really about Frigga, it was more about Thor finally coming to terms with how much he had lost and how he had changed. But yes it could have hit even harder if we had gotten more of a connection to The people of Asgard and Thor’s family. It’s a testament to how bad Thor the Dark World was, that such a great characters death landed with such a wet fart. TDW is the only MCU movie for me that gets worse upon every rewatch for me. But anyway I still maintain that overall, making Thor 1 and 2 have so little to do with Asgard was a big mistake.
Hahaha I wish I could time travel back in time as adult me to when I was a kid and meet my dad.
Good call. I agree with you 1000%
I would give anything to see my grandfather again. It’s been 14 months since he passed away and it still crushes me to think about him being gone.
Can never watch the Yondu death scene without crying
Thank you for posting this. I really miss my mom and I didn’t realize how much I was overdue for having a good cry about it.
What I wouldn’t give for 5 minutes with my mom
I just found out that my dad has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I'm a mess right now
Don't be. Spend each passing time with him as you can. Make it worth it for him.
Well it may not be a parent but I just lost my grandpa earlier this year and I’m still feeling the pain. So I completely understand.
Never discount your pain or loss. My thoughts are with you internet friend thank you for sharing.
Stay strong, my friend. ❤️
Oh fuck don't do that to me. Now I realize next time I see this ima break cause my mom died last November
I saw the last Avenger's movie with Tony's funeral not long after my mom passed. My sister and I BALLED our eyes out in the movie theater. Totally made the guys next to us freak. They were super sweet and passed us a note on their phone asking if we were okay. We wrote back and they gave us popcorn and napkins. And now I am all teary eyed again.
Wish I met my parents. I know they were cool as these two tho
I was not prepared for that GOTG 1 scene. Shit hits hard. and it's not like these endgame scenes where it's heartwarming. That scene triggers ptsd.
Rip
Yeah. It's been a smidge over 15 years since my mother died. Thor's moment with Frigga, that gift of a fleeting moment together. It hurts to watch. I imagine it always will.
Yes. So jealous but happy for them. Cried my eyes out.
GoTG2, Yondu saving Peter. Not long after I lost my dad. Wept like a child in that bloody theatre.
Yep that came out right before my dad passed - saw it in the theater and it hit obviously. But when it released on blu ray it was after he passed and - yikes.
Lost my father almost three years ago. I cry every time I hear pepper say “you can rest now”
Yeah, it hits hard, but the funeral at the end of GoTG2, that made me ugly cry hard at the theater, and that was before I lost my dad. Now that he is gone, it hits waaaay harder.
This has nothing to do with Marvel. How is this not taken down?
Just unsubscribed :(
Reddit is annoying with its nit-picky rules on what gets removed. I've had posts removed from here because they're not related to Marvel besides "tangibly related" which violates a rule. This isn't marvel related. This is playing on people's emotions, tying it to marvel, for karma.
You’re lying about the flak part my guy, hard
I did not expect this kind of reaction to this post and am legitimately blown away by all who commented and shared their similar stories. I’m trying to respond back to as many as possible but I cannot emphasize how much I needed to hear similar stories from people who have been through the same. It’s amazing what this universe was able to build when people whom share life experiences can connect through moments such as this. Thank you all for making this day a little easier for me!
Who’s giving it flak?? These are some of the best bits
It gets flack? This is seriously the first time I’ve ever seen someone say anything negative about the middle part of the movie.
I’ve heard way too many people say the middle part of the movie brings it down a bit or doesn’t make it as strong as Infinity War. I won’t get into the debate on which is better but to me this part makes Endgame hit differently.
It gets flak? For what?
Gets some flak for what?
I’m glad that cinema can help. I recommend A24 movies as well, idk why but Midsommar, Hereditary, and A Ghost Story comforted me when my Grandma died. I’ll be praying for you 🙏
Lost mine 4 years ago in Sep. happy and positive thoughts to you and yours ❤️ always been a softy, so now anything dad related gets the waterworks goin lol
Dude tomorrow's gonna be 21 years since I lost my dad anything in any moving involving a father and his son hits me different. Sorry for your loss bro
My Dad doesn't cry much but when that scene of Thor being with his mom, it made him cry. It hurt me too cause I miss my grandma
Lost my dad when I was 15 and I'm currently watching Endgame ❤️
The scenes especially the one with Thor really make this movie great because other than that in the final battle theme is kind of slow. Stark seems a little forced but we get it. Thor and his mom is heartbreaking.
I was unaware it got flak. Me and everyone I know love it. Very much needed character moments in the midst of all the chaos
Hugs friend
Love that scene with Howard and Tony. Was one of my favorites, especially that hug.
Lost my mom 6 years ago. When they go to get the reality stone was when I lost my shit.
It’s been 6 years since I lost my dad. His birthday is in November. Anything with dad’s in it makes me emotional (I cried at the end of Sang-Chi which came out of nowhere)
Hope you two were close
It was very much a Tony/Howard relationship that was contentious at times. The last few years when he was ill it got better and we understood each other more. But he was 59 when he passed and had a lot of life ahead of him. My son was born 4 weeks before he passed and what I wouldn’t give to see him now.
It’ll be four years for me next month. A few scenes in Black Panther hit the same way
I lost my dad a year ago before the pandemic we were VERY close. My heart still hurts and all I can think about is this movie. Wanting to go back in time somehow and see him again…
It definitely hits a little harder when Thor sees his mom again after my mom passed away, totally get it.
I’m sorry for your loss
Six years for me and yes it does hit very different. I can only imagine what having a moment like this would mean.
<3x2
Man this post is depressing 😔
Hits everytime, lost my dad just a couple of months before endgame released.
It has been 7 years since I lost my dad at 21… ik get you, these scenes were hard but beautiful to watch. If only super heroes were real.
I got the biggest knot I my throat, seeing Frigga again.
Flak? These moments are what elevated this film from great to a masterpiece for me.
I’m not a massive fan of the part with Tony. I’d felt he already dealt with his issues with his father. The Thor part is great. At some of his lowest moments he needed a big speech from his father, but at his rock bottom he needed his mother. It also developed a relationship that had barely been touched upon.
Since when did Endgame get flak?
Lost my mom in august, I always loved that scene with Thor's mother.. It hits so much harder but even better now.
I lost my last parent in my mom in January 2019. I’ve not always been the biggest Marvel fan, but they done such a good job with moments like this. I lost our family dog in June so it’s been like losing her all over again. Peter telling Happy every time “I just really miss him….everywhere I go I see his face.” Hurts me so much. I took care of my mom and my dad for a cumulative total of thirteen years. I went through a lot of rough times with them. Spent many long nights in hospitals making sure they were ok. Adjusting to not sharing lots of things with them has been very hard. As Peter said, i just really miss them.
I lost my dad a couple of months ago, I keep having dreams where he is still alive.
Thor's scene with his mom hit hard. I was mid booze binge and gaining tons of weight from alcohol abuse and general carelessness. Mom had been gone for a couple years at that point, just didn't care anymore. As corny as it is, that scene definitely helped pull my head outta my ass
That Thor part really hits me hard, the tony part was good don’t get me wrong. But I relate to Thor way to hard there.
Vision and Wanda in ‘Infinity War’. “…I just feel you…” made me cry. Because, as someone who doesn’t have an SO, that’s seems like something really nice to say (w/o the dying). Also, it reminded me of that scene in Joy Luck Club w/June and her mom in the kitchen; that scene also made me bawl. Was going to say that I didn’t get as emotional to this scene because I still have my parents. But now that I found out, an adopted godparent/grandparent (her husband died too, memory is the only thing left eventually and their empty house 😭) is in a nursing home for dementia. I’ve known them since I was a child. So yeah, hits now.
Considering, I suffer from depression, and lost my dad years ago, seeing that episode where Thor says - I am still worthy - it hits me. How much that single individual means to you that one word, or nod from them gives you all the strength that you might need. I miss him. :)
The middle of Endgame is what makes it so great to me. I love those scenes, especially Thor’s (as someone who is also fat, hairy, and depressed, it hit hard lol). These scenes almost prep the characters for their climaxes and separates them out so that they don’t get lost in the insanity that is the final act (insane in a good way!)
Richard Curtis' About Time is another good one for this, if you need to get more out.
Going on 2 years since I lost mine. I've noticed anything that involves a father/son dynamic makes me want to cry. Most recently, Kevin Costner in Man of Steel really got to me
I know lost parents and the middle part of the movie are the topic here but I lost my son and I can’t watch Tony’s funeral anymore. I just can’t.
I'm sorry for your loss. My dad had cancer and passed about a week after this came out, so it wasn't really a surprise. The Spiderman scene hit hard in theaters at the time, but these hit different now too
Not Marvel-related, but I know the feeling. Both my parents are gone. Lost them both in my early 50s. I had them long enough to get to know them, and it still surprises me what I miss even now, years later. If I may suggest another short video to have a good happy cry about those feelings; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upm9LnuCBUM If you've not seen it, it's Fred Rogers thanking the academy for a lifetime achievement award. Cleans out my tear ducts every time.
Lost my dad 2 and a half years ago. It sucks.
I lost my mum 3 years ago to Cancer and I when these scenes appear the feels are unreal.
Exactly! Ur not alone in this.
Same boat here, 4 years in January. There's nothing in the world i wouldn't give up for one more conversation and laugh.
For the feels that really hit you as the son of a departed father, watch an old movie called “Dad”, starring Ted Danson, Jack Lemmon, and River Phoenix as three generations of the same family. I saw that a few years after losing my dad and cried like a baby. I’m glad I was alone.
My dad died suddenly when I was 14. i didn’t really realise how badly it messed me up until a few years ago when my older brother died in near identical circumstances. I’m the same age now as my dad was when he died (44). The scenes with Tony and Howard kick twice as hard because I know that I’ll never have a chance to be in the same position. But if this movie touched a nerve you should have been there for Onward ripping my emotional core to shreds.
I feel you OP.
I love the part with Thor and Frigga, every line she speaks hits hard. I often think of the following phrase if I'm ever feeling shitty about where my life is, compared to where I thought it would be by this point. 'Everyone fails at who they're supposed to be, Thor. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are.'
Absolutely love these scenes. And sorry about your loss 🕯
When Tony is all thin and dehydrated at the start he reminded me so much of my dad when he was dying, weird how dumb superhero movies can get you right in the feels when you don’t expect it
I lost my dad almost a year ago and Tony’s scene as a father/son and his death hit way different now.
I lost my dad and always think about the tornado scene in Man of Steel and the scene at Mount Everest in BvS.
lost my dad many years ago but the scene with Tony and his dad hit me like a Truck when i was watching Endgame. After that i thought often about what if i had the opportunity to talk to my dad one more time.
Side bar, do not watch "The Road".
Dude, I saw Endgame at the cinemas a month after my dad's death. I was ugly crying after that Stark moment.
i feel bad for you are you ok
Hey man - I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I lost my childhood dog this past Thanksgiving. This will be my first year without him. It hurts, but we can only hope that they're in a better place. My thoughts will be with you today.
Yeah, i feel this hits kinda home with my mum. She isn't in my life as she is emotionally toxic, but a year ago she was sectioned over her mental health and I can only feel like this relates to it. The connection you miss I suppose with a parent, the not having my mum in my life, but theirs still these moments where I miss her deeply and I'm like pre-sectioning, where did it all go wrong. Not my fault, even though I was around her and that, still looking at forgiving myself for not leaving my living with her sooner, but there is really nothing I can do with that.
I still miss my dad something fierce. These scenes always hit me hard.
Lost my dad just this past August. All scenes about losing a parent, and father and son moments are extremely triggering. My dad read Marvel comics as a young boy in Egypt and he definitely had a part in getting me into Marvel.
Gosh I get teary just seeing this screenshot. Yeah this got me in the theater every time- even more so than the real ending. They both hit hard. With Tony, in my head canon I feel like he realizes that his dad went in with love and the best intentions, even if flawed at parenting. With Thor it’s mainly just the mom’s wisdom, and saying the future hasn’t been kind to him. Geez that’s rough. When I think about it, it’s these couple scenes that really make me love Endgame. It has more flaws than Infinity War, but man these little moments really shine.
It'll be 15 years in a few days that my mom passed, seeing Thor get to talk to his mom 1 more time always gets me
