So yeah, saw Avengers: Endgame. Won't get into spoilers so don't worry. I find it interesting though that a lot of people think this is the end of the Avengers movies (The Avengers, not the MCU). It's easy to see how people would come to that conclusion, but I don't think that's even remotely true. Disney/Marvel is not done with the Avengers, in fact that's the entire point of getting a new lineup of heroes like Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Captain Marvel. Even though some of the original Avengers are retired, the mission continues and people are needed to follow through with that mission. I think it would be more appropriate to say that Endgame is the actual end of Phase 1...buuut I'm not the one who came up with the phase thing, so I can't really say that lol.

One of the things I found really interesting about Endgame is how they're coping with grief and carrying on after the events of Infinity War. Some are just barely managing, some are broken, and some of them have been able to continue on with life and find meaning after tragedy. That was a touch I really liked.

I look forward to seeing where this goes continuing on. There have been cinematic universes before, but the extent these movies have gone hasn't really been seen before. Given that Endgame has broken records, and is still topping the Box Office (booting JC's Avatar off its pedestal, thank christ) I don't see them stopping.
