30 Day MCU Challenge - Day Two

Day Two - Favorite Marvel Film

This one proved to be a tough choice and I wavered between Endgame and Ultron for various reasons. Not the least of which is the character development of Clint Barton. I decided on Endgame because of the emotional depth it managed to convey around all of the explosions and fight scenes.

Clint - such an emotional range we got to see in this - from happiness to despair to hopelessness to sorrow to hope. Everything just poured out.
Steve - not a popular opinion, but I liked how he got the full circle of the hero's story. And he got to spend a life with Peggy.
Tony - this character started out as such a shallow person, but here he gives up everything to save the day. He got a full-fledged redemption arc.
Natasha - her entire purpose for being with SHIELD was to wipe out the red in her ledger and I believe she did it when she chose to sacrifice herself. For me, the climax of the movie came with her willing choice to die to retrieve the stone.
