Avengers: Endgame was one of the most, if not the most, anticipated movies since the ending of Avengers: Infinity War shocked audiences worldwide. The fourth installment in the Avengers series focuses on the remaining Avengers – Captain America, Black Widow, the Hulk,Thor, Hawkeye, and Iron Man – along with Rocket Raccoon, Nebula, Ant-Man, and Captain Marvel figuring out a way to bring back those they’ve lost during of The Snap and defeating Thanos in an epic final battle.
Amidst the growing excitement many theories regarding character deaths, who would defeat Thanos, and how Thanos would be defeated began circulating through social media platforms. Students also had theories about the film.
“All of the decimated were never gone entirely. They were only trapped in the Soul Stone,” junior Gabriel Munoz said.
Fans began theorizing those who disintegrated during The Snap weren’t dead, but had their souls trapped in the Soul Stone. One popular theory circulating among fans was the Avengers using time travel to defeat Thanos.
“I think that they are either going to use the Time Stone or the Quantum Realm to travel back in time before the snap happened and fix their mistake,” junior Mariam Thomas said.
Also debated was who’d defeat Thanos. Speculation revolved around Captain Marvel, Iron Man, or Captain America defeating Thanos with the Infinity Stones.
“I honestly think Captain America is gonna beat Thanos,” senior Destiny said.
Students also expressed a lot of excitement for the return of their favorite heroes lost in The Snap.
“I’m excited to see Spider-Man alive again. His death scene in Infinity War made me cry a lot and I miss him so much,” senior Gabby Delos Santos said.
Regardless of which theories proven true or false, Avengers: Endgame was a record-breaking film that left audiences wowed and depressed.
