The film is full of grief, gloomy themes but also light humor, the whole thing becomes really conscious when we see at which points heroes like Thor, Bruce Banner and Tony Stark are standing. Their stories couldn't have been any different. Banner, who had been in conflict with Hulk for the whole MCU, has finally found peace with his two personalities and can now use the best of both.
Well, there are several reasons why we could see a mixture of Bruce Banner and Hulk aka Professor Hulk. In Thor's last movie the whole thing was announced when Hulk could speak there. And after Hulk was beaten worst by Thanos at the beginning of Infinity War, he had withdrawn and Banner had problems to cause to turn into Hulk. In addition, Hulk has become very old and therefore wise, but that's another topic that I will perhaps address again later.
That Bruce Banner would get the power over Hulk was foreseeable, because in the second unofficial Hulk film, which was not done by Disney and therefore the Marvel Studios themselves but unofficially still belongs to the MCU, we can see how Bruce Banner starts to meditate to control Hulk. In the very first Avengers movie Bruce Banner also makes a remark that he can control Hulk. He probably continued that after Infinity War, his meditation training to control Hulk. And from here it also becomes a fan service, because in the comics Professor Hulk is a part of the story and sooner or later he should have been introduced. That it happened in Endgame was a very good time.
Tony has actually overcome his trauma of 2012, where the Aliens invase in the first Avengers film was, through the immense loss. As bizarre as it is, the snap was for Tony's character like a plaster that was quickly torn off because for six years he was obsessed with protecting the world from the threat of Thanos. Now after the snap this pressure is gone.
Well, not really. Tony Stark was a narcissist. At least that's how we got to know him and followed his development in all the films. He had made it to his business to protect the world and his beloved Pepper. He gave everything for this job. He even developed the killer AI Ultron. That was all for the protection of the planet. But Tony had his obligations to his Avengers teammates as well as to Pepper. All his actions were always rational and logical, although not always understood by everyone. He always wanted the best for everyone, even if his methods were somewhat incomprehensible and selfish.
Now he finally has his family, which he had always promised Pepper. Never be Iron-Man again, start a family, have children and lead a peaceful life. He got all that through the snap. The snap was a blessing for him as well as a curse. A blessing that his dream of a family came true and a curse that he had left the world in the lurch. The loss of his teammates gnaws at him, although he doesn't want to show it.
Tony Stark is a rational-thinking character. It is said, if you give the feelings the upper hand, you can't think clearly anymore. So you have to be cool and suppress feelings so that you always have the control over your mind and so you can think clear. That's how we got to know Tony Stark and he does that all the time. That makes him somehow to an asshole, but if you know these things, you see him with other eyes.
Part 2 
Part 4 
I really enjoyed the movie even though it was a bit long, I wasn't really convinced about using time travel as a plot device since it would naturally leave a lot of plot holes but it was one hell of a ride. Once the movie gets going its action a mile a minute and you really can't turn away from the screen.
It really made being part of the last 10 years of movies well worth the wait
Hello @oendertuerk, excellent analysis, I like how you approach it, since you clarify certain details to which I had not paid attention.
Greetings @oendertuerk good analysis, the film is excellent although I have some empty, I will see it again...
I don't know... I was a little bit disappointed. I really throught that Iron Man would have had to sacrifice his daughter for the snap to be reversed. That was the thing that he held most dear and the thing that would make him balk, he said it to Captain America when he said that he would only commit if none of what he had changed.
Then I thought that he would have balked, and Captain America would have had to betray Iron Man for the greater good.
So, iron Man dying... Tragic for fans, but not tragic for Iron Man...
Tragic but i think it was logical that he dies. That Tony has seen his daughter, has seen her grown up, give her something from himself and Pepper's wish of a family, all that was what he wanted. For me, it was clear that the Snap of Tony should bring everyone back without the 5 years disappearing. But I wanted to come to this in a later part.
RIP Tony Stark: Hero of the Universe.
Many people think that thor's performance was bad because he was fat. There's a big point in favor to the movie and it's that they show us a true Nordic god without big muscles but with personality and more than a tragic past
I agree with that. We have seen the downfall of a nordic god who has found himself on the ground, his true character and what he really wants...
Nice review! especially the part related to Tony. I'm a big fan of the Iron Man character, as you say, he was always seen as selfish, but at the end of the day, as they say, he saved the city, saved the world and the universe.
Personally, I do not know what another ending could have had this character, in fact in one of the Marvel universes, Tony is a babysitter of the children of The Avengers and then dies in an attack by Ultron androids ...
I'll miss the character, but I think Marvel will surprise us as always in future installments of his films.
It's tragic, just like the death of Black Widow, but they have to be so it can go on, so that everything can evolve and new things can happen. The MCU will, I think, become much bigger and also different as we know it.
Exactly!
Worthwhile reading, cheers.
