History Awesome / AvengersEndgame

* A more humorous but cathartic moment; Thanos manages to keep the Gauntlet on after a brief scuffle with Tony, reciting his future self's BadassBoast as he prepares to do the Decimation once again, targeting 100% of life aside from himself this time... and he gets nothing but a metal "chink". His smug demeanor ''immediately'' [[OhCrap rockets off]], quickly looking at ''[[WhamShot the empty Gauntlet]]'' in shock. Which then leads into the most awesome moment of all...

* Look very closely at Scott when the first missile from the Sanctuary II hits the Avengers facility. The exact ''millisecond'' everything outside the window he’s standing at gets incinerated, Scott puts his helmet up and shrinks even as he’s getting thrown back by an explosion that obliterates the room. Even if it’s a small moment, the man’s reaction time is ''legendary''.

*** Though Thanos is StrongAndSkilled, he enjoys besting his opponents with the latter, as shown by his fight against Hulk in [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the last film.]] Once he realizes Cap's got him matched in that department, his fighting style gets more brutal as he's forced to fall back to brute strength, his only true advantage over him. He gets noticeably angrier as well. Cap singlehandedly manages to suck out all the fun Thanos finds in balancing the universe.

* After the van's quantum tunnel is destroyed, Tony, a mere human, tackles and wrestles with Thanos, an 8 foot giant. Despite getting overpowered shortly after, simply having the guts to do something like that counts as a moment of awesome. Plus, as shown later, this is the moment where Tony manages to turn the tables on Thanos - and the Titan doesn't even realize until it is too late.

** And to make it even more cathartic, Thanos' demise is an IronicEcho of his ultimate victory in ''Infinity War''. Rather than sitting down in his hut in the peaceful Titan II and smiling at the sunrise, he's at the wreckage of the Avengers compound, taking in heavy breaths out of pure, emotional agony before slowly lowering his head, embracing death. It's the perfect way to end the Mad Titan's run in the [=MCU=]: his final defeat being a dark foil, a mockery of his ultimate victory.
*** In addition to Thanos and his army, his enormous crashed ship as well as the Outrider deployed towers also turn to dust. Tony was smart enough to think of these things being stolen or used for selfish reasons, such as in ''Homecoming,'' and this time there’s no need for Damage Control to salvage and lock this stuff up. It’s gone! Reduced to ashes. No one can steal it and use it to hurt anyone ever again.

** Then the portal from Wakanda opens up, out steps Black Panther, Okoye, and Shuri (armed with '''two''' gauntlets again), and just as the music swells, Falcon comes zooming out. And thus we witness the greatest, longest BigDamnHeroes moment in all of the MCU, if not in filmdom. All the heroes emerging from portals of light, like angels resurrected in all their splendor, really makes it look like a miracle just happened.

* The first thing Scott does as Giant-Man when the fight begins is ''punch a Chitauri Leviathan in the face and knock it to the ground.'' AWESOME. He took it down faster and with less effort than ''Hulk'' did in the first Avengers movie!

It's the culmination of eleven years, 22 films, billions and [[CashCowFranchise billions]] of dollars in box office money, and the most tremendous AllStarCast of its decade--and quite possibly in any decade, for that matter. It would even go on to dethrone ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' and become ''the highest-grossing movie of all time'' for a while,[[note]][[{{ExactWords}} Without adjusting for inflation]].[[/note]] and still has the highest-grossing initial release of any film ever. ''Endgame'' proves to be the perfect capstone atop a ''crowning '''universe''' of awesome.''

* Take a look at The Avengers during the initial charge and you will see Mantis - arguably the least direct combat capale character on the field - running full speed on the front line. The innocent, harmless alien who has never even so much as been in a fight, let alone a full on battle, shows no hesitation to directly engage a brutal galactic conquerer and his entire army on the battlefield.

** Remember that in her movie, Carol was said "Use your brains, not only your brawl". Thanos in this moment showed her HOW IT IS DONE. An awesome moment for the Mad Titan himself. If it wasn't for Tony's next action, Carol's brainless actions would have cost dearly.
